Ideally there should be no scratches at all. I have nappa leather baguette and came with cover over the buckle.
you should return/exchange if you can !
hi there
thank you very much for responding so quickly.
so mine came with a cover over the buckle too & fortunately the buckle is scratch-free, but the hardware on the strap as well as the clasp do already have some scratches on them after trying the bag on yesterday and wearing it today for the first time.. i really don't know what to think, cause this bag surely isn't cheap at all!! how long have you had your baguette? do you have any wear on the hardware?
Hmm this is strange! Are you able to post picture !? Can you exchange or return !?
I have had mine over 3 months and no scratch as far as i see!
Bag is not at all cheap ! Agreed !
just tried to get some pictures, here is what the hardware on the strap looks like;
i wasn't able to capture the scratches on the clasp, so they probably aren't too bad, i guess?! maybe i'm just overly dramatic?! i removed the security tag the day i got it, so more than likely i can't return, but hopefully the fendi customer service is willing to do something about the situation, especially if it's not considered normal "wear and tear".. glad to hear your baguette is still fine

My very first Fendi bag. The Fendi flat baguette! 
It isn't too bad. Eventually this area will get scratched anyway, especially if you just push the clasp into a D-ring to secure it onto a bag instead of holding the clasp open with your fingers to attach it to a D-ring to prevent scratching.just tried to get some pictures, here is what the hardware on the strap looks like;

Hello everyone, new here and been bouncing around different brands and bags like crazy trying to find my first designer bag haha. Regarding the Fendi baguette for the men, any thoughts on the nappa and embossed motif? https://www.fendi.com/us/man-bags/baguette-7va472a72vf0gxn
I was interested in using it as sort of a go-to bag when going out, will likely keep my wallet and phone in my pocket but might throw a small point and shoot camera in there, hand sanitizer, key holder etc. Unsure if the leather will be prone to scratches/wear-and-tear etc. If so, I was thinking of either this one https://www.fendi.com/us/man-bags/baguette-7va472a9zcf0gxn or the one without the pattern! https://www.fendi.com/us/man-bags/baguette-7va472sfrf0gxn
Also off-topic, but considering the LV soft trunk (heard of hardware wear and tear issues), the LV pochette metis noir (suitable for a guy?), BV padded cassette in black, and lower down the list a small Loewe Puzzle!

I love the second bag you linked. But you are right, that smooth calfskin leather might scratch easily. I have the nappa leather peekaboo and am very careful about it getting scratched (even bought a defender for it). Out of the other bags you mentioned I liked the 3 Fendi ones you linked better. Let us know what you decide!
Do you like the hanging gold clasp or the buckle belt between the two nano’s?
I like the gold ring clasp on the back the best. It’s a little more versatile since you can clip it onto anything (a bag, a belt, a bag strap, etc.). The belt loop version is really a one trick pony.
Thanks for your feedback! The one thing I do like about the belt clasp is the lobster claw that would mean I could put my keys inside and keep it all connected. Fendi doesn’t even make the belt clasp version anymore for this bag.
