Fendi Peekaboo vs Hermès Kelly

I don’t have a peekaboo yet but I have a Kelly 32 I bought years ago when they were half the price. I love it but I’m not sure I’d spend 10k on one now and I am looking at peekaboos too in the mini size to enjoy instead of a Kelly 25 or 28
I am very recent to Hermès but have been very lucky with the ones I’ve gotten in terms of price. Said lately the prices have grown even more than what I paid and like you I don’t think I have the heart to purchase anything more at the current prices. I saw a peekaboo over the weekend and it was actually beautiful and I thought it was a great alternative. I wanted to reach out to see who may have both to get opinions. thank you for responding and let me know what you end up doing I will do the same. Hopefully I will get more responses that will help us both.
I don’t have a Kelly (yet) as I have not been offered or found the right one. FWIW, this Mulberry Mini Seaton is about the same size as a K25, while this Peekaboo Essentially is about the size of a K28. I don’t carry much and both these are large enough for what I need. You can probably get 2-3 Peekaboos for an equivalent Kelly, and maybe 4-5 Mulberry Seatons. Like the Kelly’s, the Peekaboos are also 100% leather-lined, and are easier to get in and out of (pro for me but maybe con for some). Hope this helps❤️
I have both the Kelly 25, 28 and 35. I just got the Fendi peekabo mini. I can’t compare anything yet but I was drawn to this bag for some reason so decided to get one. I think it’s 2 different aesthetics.
I have a Kelly 25 sellier, 32 retourne and a peekaboo. In my opinion, they’re different bags even though to others who aren’t so into bags they would be similar. I feel the peekaboo is easier to open (less hassle). I like all the bags. If we are talking about quality, Hermès leather seems more fine. I am not saying the peekaboo is of poor quality, less refined as the leather is thicker. I personally liked the peekaboo and purchased it before the Kellys. I did already have a birkin at that time and believe I used the peekaboo more.
I have a vintage Kelly sellier 28 in courchevel, bought second hand for a very good price years ago. I have been contemplating a Peekaboo mini or Iseeu small because the price point is good (at least compared to a new Kelly )
, plus I like the cool vibe it has, and it would probably be more practical than my Kelly. I love the way the bag is carried in the attached photo.

I have a vintage K35 and a mini Fendi peekaboo. The Fendi is a great size and surprisingly holds a lot more than I thought before I purchased it.I really like it and easier to get than the smaller sized Kelly. I love the defender case too it’s a great when I want to change it up.
I have a Kelly 32 (Box leather, retourne) and have looked at a large Peekaboo 1 year ago in store. While I loved the style I didn't like the corner wear on a display item... I know that H can spa the bags (my K32's corners came back looking new after spa, but needs to be paid). I don't know about Fendi, but seeing the wear on a display model alone made me think I won't be happy with the quality.
Maybe someone who owns a Peekaboo can chime in on the actual quality. Also, I think smaller sizes would not show corner wear as quickly. I think you can get a pre-loved Kelly in decent condition for 1.5-2x the price of a new Peekaboo. I'd rather get the Kelly, but that's really up to you

I have both but in very different sizes. The larger Peekaboo will be heavier than a K I think due to the frame. Also the Fendi versions have segmented interiors, where the K is one open compartment (to me much more flexible). That said I think I am "all set" in the K department but would definitely entertain another Peekaboo.
