handles come seperately??

Hi Guys,

I've been investigating various fendis on ebay...not ready to buy yet, but trying to figure them out.

Anyway, have any of you ever bought a fendi and had the handles, or leather straps, packaged SEPERATELY, like you have to buckle them in yourself? That seems a bit odd.

Here is an example of one on ebay:

I have never purchased a bag (Fendi or otherwise) with handles that came separately from the bag. I think it's one of the sure signs of a FAKE .

I think it's great you're doing some research before buying. If only more people did that

Definitely not. I can't imagine a premier handbag customer expecting customers to DIY, even repairs.

That is unusual. It looks like it could be real from the clasp.
I got this on the seller from toolhous.org:
This buyer seems to have a problem reading an ad 2" below bid before she bids

Never got the item - my shipping was refunded but not the purchase price.

^^^thanks everyone! I thought that the engraving on the hardware looked good, so was just surprised by the whole strap issue. Fendigal, thanks for the site, totally useful
