Hi Yall!
I just got my first Fendi from Neiman Marcus on-line and the price was
too good to be true! The Regular price was $1270.00, on sale for $826.00 and 40% off of that...so I snatch it at $495.00 (and FREE Shipping ;p)
Anyway, I got it today, and it's LARGE and gorgeous--BUT...The authencity card doesn't match EXACTLY...just the 2nd set of 5 digits. AND worse, the lining isn't silk or satin--but from a dark brown heavy cotton material--that's not so bad, BUT when I reached inside of the pocket in the lining, I could feel some GLUE of some sort, pulled it out and could see some glue type of stuff. On top of that, all of the stitching isn't PERFECT as I've read that ALL REAL Fendi's should be. Also, the top strap is black patent leather and on the one side where it O rings are held, the patent leater is made of 1 piece, but on the other side, I can see some stitching--it's not PERFECT as I've been told expensive bags like these should be.
Lastly, I called NM and spoke to the Fendi specialist and she said NM would NEVER sell fake Fendi's and that the reason why it was so "cheap" is because it wasn't a perfect one. She told me if I returned it, she would snatch it up in a second.
The bag has the leather serial number, halogram tag and other than the frustrating imperfections, it's drop dead gorgeous. I also called the on-line manager and asked her for a discount because of the flaws and they took another $50.00 off. Is this a real Fendi or should I take it back? I LOVE IT, but I want a REAL one--and from all of the "how to indentify a FAKE Fendi, with the flaws on this bag, it seems Fake. Please let me know and sorry for the novel ;o)
