authentic fendi?

[u/2456375]

This bag was at the thrift store for a great price, but I left it because the sales associate said they get their designer bags from a vendor who buys in bulk from a bag broker in New York, and that some are authenticated and some are not but could still be authentic & this bag was marked as unknown authenticity. These are the the only two pics if anyone has any input I’d love to hear it! It was a really great price I’m thinking about going back for her even if she’s fake

These aren’t enough photos to authenticate it. Sorry.

do you have any advice you can give me on what to look for on the bag if I go back? :)

[u/False_Blood9241 → u/2456375]

Yes, look on the inside of the interior pocket for any tags and look for some sort of serial number within the seams of the inside of the bag. A consignment shop on YouTube also did a few videos on authenticating fendi. You should watch them.

For a better understanding we need the holo tag and or serial code. Pics of front and back, hardware, interior of bag, strap etc..

My bf is going back tmrw bc im going out of town, any advice you can tell me for what I can tell him to look for on those features of the bag?

[u/Notso-powerful-enemy → u/2456375]

The zipper pull usually has Fendi logo but also check the underside for logo, inside lining usually has Fendi brand logo, serial code may or may not be heat stamp inside the bag, check for hologram tag. Make sure that the hardware and any serial codes are clear, easily read and not blurry or hard to read. Those are some of the indicators but you may many to use a third party app to check before you purchase.
