Today I wanna talk about how I got my hands on this Fendi Nappa Spy bag in black. It’s a classic style, and I’ve been wanting one for ages.
So, first off, I started by doing a ton of research online. I mean, I was all over the internet, reading forums, blogs, and watching videos about how to spot a real Fendi from a fake one. It’s crazy how good some of those fakes are! You really gotta be careful. I learned about checking the serial number, looking at the stitching, and even feeling the leather. There are so many little details that can give away a fake.
After I felt like I knew enough, I started hunting. I checked out a few different places, both online and some local stores. I even went to a couple of those high-end consignment shops, you know, the ones where everything is super expensive? No luck. But, I knew I needed to be patient. I did not rush to get the bag, I could wait.
Then, one day, I was browsing online, I stumbled upon this one seller. They had a bunch of pictures of the bag, and it looked pretty good. It is a large hobo bag, and I like it. The price was reasonable, too, not too cheap, not too expensive, just right, which is important because if it’s too cheap, it’s probably fake. I carefully read the seller’s description. It says “This is a large hobo with relaxed and very beautifully crafted rich textured black Nappa leather. The bag features tightly woven leather top handles and a cross-over flap with a tightly woven”. I messaged the seller and asked a bunch of questions like where they got it, how long they’ve had it, and if they had the original receipt or authenticity card. I asked for more pictures, and detailed ones.
The seller was super helpful and answered all my questions. They even sent me more photos of the bag, close-ups of the logo, the hardware, and the serial number. Everything looked good, and I felt pretty confident it was the real deal.
I decided to go for it. I made the purchase. I was so excited when it finally arrived! I carefully examined every inch of the bag, checking the stitching, the logo, the leather, everything. It’s very detailed. I even compared it to pictures of authentic Fendi Spy bags online, just to be extra sure. Also, the inner logo is perfect and the same as the official website. And guess what? It was perfect! It’s definitely a genuine Fendi bag.
Here’s what I looked for to make sure it was real:
- Serial Number: I checked it. It’s there, and it matches the format that Fendi uses.
- Stitching: Super neat and even, no loose threads or anything like that.
- Leather: It’s real Nappa leather, soft and smooth. You can just tell it’s high quality. It is so soft.
- Hardware: The metal parts, like the zipper and the clasps, are heavy and well-made, not cheap or flimsy.
- Logo: The Fendi logo is correctly placed and looks perfect.
I’m so happy with my purchase! It’s a beautiful bag, and I know I’ll be using it for years to come. It is a classic and will never be out of date. It was definitely worth the wait and all the research I did. Now, every time when I use it, I could recall the day I received it and how excited I was.
