So, I’ve been on the hunt for this Fendi Brown Zucchino Mama Forever Baguette Shoulder Bag, you know, the classic style one. I finally got my hands on it, and let me tell you, it was a bit of a journey figuring out if it was the real deal or not. Here’s how it all went down.
First off, I started by looking at the label inside the bag. I remembered reading somewhere that the letters on the label should all be the same thickness if it’s a real Fendi. So, I inspected it super closely.
- I checked every single letter on the label.
- I made sure the spacing between the letters was consistent.
- I compared the font weight to make sure it was uniform across the board.
It all looked good, but I wasn’t totally convinced yet.
Then, I remembered another tip about the hologram. I learned that real Fendi bags have this hologram sticker inside, which is supposed to be a newer way they use to spot fakes. I hunted for that sticker like it was the last piece of the puzzle.
And there it was! I found the hologram, and it seemed legit. But, just to be extra sure, I dug around for the serial number. From what I read, a genuine Fendi should have a 15-17 character serial number on a leather tag inside the bag. This number should also match the authenticity card, if you have it.
I searched high and low inside the bag and finally spotted the tag with the serial number. It was a bit tricky to find because, apparently, Fendi has moved it around over the years. For older bags, they sometimes print it directly on the lining of the inner pocket.
Thankfully, I found it! The serial number matched what I expected, and it all seemed to check out. I also noticed that all the furnishings, like the hardware and details, looked like they were made in Italy, which is a good sign for Fendi.
After all that, I felt pretty confident that I had a real Fendi on my hands. It was a bit of a process, but totally worth it to make sure I wasn’t getting scammed. Plus, now I have this beautiful, classic bag that I’m super excited to use!
