Oooooh the peekaboo was on my radar but we don’t have a boutique here and I love to try on before I buy. It’s a beautiful bag! The main thing I want from this bag is to be with me for many years to come and gets used. It’s awfully hard, especially when I’m such an indecisive person!I got a Fendi Mini Peekaboo last fall and it’s become one of my most used bags. I got the grained calf version and it is super durable, very easy to use/easy access to items, long enough for crossbody (I’m very tall and also plus size), and versatile enough to be worn casually crossbody or dressed up for dinner just using the top handle. It is right at the upper end of your budget if you buy new from the boutique, but you can get a great deal on one that’s preloved.
I’ll add that my caviar WOC is my second most used bag behind my daily tote. I don’t think it looks too small on my frame and really appreciate the long strap length. The capacity is just obviously really small, so the size limits it’s versatility
Good luck with your decision!!
