How To Check Your Fendi Handbag Real?

How to Check Your Fendi Handbag Real?

Italian women were fascinated by the skillful craftsmanship and adored the superior quality used in the brand’s products. In the 1960s the five daughters of Edoardo and Adele Fendi took notice of a young upcoming designer Karl Lagerfeld and asked him to join the brand. The collaboration between Fendi and Karl Lagerfeld brought a whole new way of designing furs, which brought international recognition to the brand.

Today every fashion ardent lady dreams of owning a Fendi handbag. The massive demand for Fendi handbags has led to a rise in the manufacturing of counterfeits. As replicas become more and more sophisticated, a buyer needs to be cautious when buying a Fendi Handbag online. We reached out to an online boutique that sells authentic preowned luxury handbags in Australia to ask how they identify an original Fendi handbag from a fake. We were made to understand that there really is a science behind authenticating a handbag.

The symmetry, materials whether it is the leather or the hardware used in a bag, stitching, and various small details that a Fendi bag carries need to be looked into carefully to certify that the bag is genuine. We listed out a few characteristics of a Fendi Baguette Handbag that will help you check whether your Fendi is real or fake.

Hardware – Check if the FENDI logo is engraved and not stamped.

The Hardware used in a Fendi Baguette bag is very explicit. For instance, the ‘FF’ buckle that is on the front flap on a Fendi Baguette will be symmetrical, with the arms reaching less than halfway across the hardware. The zipper used in the bag will be perfectly straight and aligned. Moreover, the FENDI logo will be engraved on every part of the hardware. Counterfeits have the FENDI logo stamped as engraving the logo requires specific tools that are costly.

Material – The satin inside the bag will be stitched, not glued.

The leather and satin inside the bag will be of superior quality. A Fendi Baguette will always stand tall and will not make any creases or bends. The satin inside the bag will have a shine and will always have a stitched lining. Replicas of the Fendi Baguette usually glue this lining into the bag to save on costs and manpower.

Serial Number & Hologram – The Hologram Sticker will carry a high amount of holographic effects and details.

Fendi Bags produced after the 1980s carry a Serial number. The middle portion of the 15-17 digit serial number is called the art number. This part number will match with the authenticity card that a Fendi Baguette carries. In case the authenticity card is not present, the Hologram in the Fendi Baguette is a great and foolproof way of finding out whether it's real or fake. The hologram sticker is the newest effort by Fendi to distinguish its products from counterfeits. Keep two things in mind when you see the hologram sticker – First, it has to be stitched and not glued to the bag. Second, the sticker will carry a high amount of holographic effects and details. Replicas cannot match up this high amount of holographic effects and details the hologram sticker carries in an authentic Fendi handbag.

When in doubt pass the offer. If the deal seems to be too good to be true, it probably is a fake. To buy authentic second hand Fendi bags Australia, head over to MyLuxuryBargain.com, an online boutique that sells authentic pre owned Fendi bags Online and ships all over the world.
