Counterfeiting designer handbags is an industry unto itself, albeit a shameless and thieving industry, nonetheless, it is a moneymaking industry. For that fact alone fake designer handbags will continue to be made world over and the supply will never run low. However, if you desire a true blue Fendi bag, you should learn what you need to look for to make the probabilities of finding a genuine Fendi more in your favor. Take a look at these ideas. Some are the same for all fake vs real bags but then Fendi has a few descript variances, as do all of high quality and repute.

Fendi Bag

Make sure that if the seller claims to be selling you a genuine Fendi bag, the price is right. What is right? High. Fendi's are expensive bags and the reason is that they are made from high quality materials and from very skilled artists and the company will accept no seconds. Make sure you're looking at quality manufacturing materials and not cheap cloth or leather. Feel it, rub it, listen to it when you move your hands over it. Quality makes itself known as does cheap stock. Do you see any loose stitching or crooked seams? If so, put it back. It's not Fendi. Does the thread color match the rest of the purse? It doesn't have to be the same color but it needs to accent and blend with the main color of the purse. Very subtle color changes are the Fendi style. Note whether or not the logo is engraved or stamped on. If it's stamped on, it is not a Fendi.

Take a look at the lining of the bag. Is the lining made from rough cloth or does it appear to be satin? Which one do you think is the Fendi? Right, the satin. Anything else is phony. Fendi purse straps are not hollow or thin. They are well stitched and have a leather core. The stitching at the purse end should be stout and even. Though some counterfeiters include an authentication card, if the bag does not contain one, it's a fake. Fendi handbags always contain an authentication card. The card will have an embossed logo on it. Study the logo and make sure it is a genuine Fendi logo. Look at the Fendi website and study the logo. Often cheap fake bags will attempt a look-alike logo but upon closer examination, it will not be a real Fendo logo. Learn your product and you'll have a better chance of finding the real thing.

One more tip about Fendies. Take a gander at handbag's hardware and make sure that the quality is excellent and that the sheen and texture match the rest of the bag. Do you think that Fendi would manufacture a bag that did not show this kind of quality? No, of course not. Check it closely. Also notice whether or not the hardware has a Fendi emblem engraved on it. Not stamped or embossed but actually "engraved." If not, again….it would not be Fendi quality.

For you Fendi lovers: look at the picture of the white Fendi purse. You see the Fendi identification tag? This is a genuine Fendi White Crossword Bag. The price: $1560 USD. The company goes to great lengths to market their products, including the introduction of some rather odd appearing and sometimes not so successful bags. The other picture is of one of these strange purses. It is the Fendi Large Sequin Spy Bag. A gaudy, flambouyant little number that makes one wonder, "what were they thinking?" Oh, by the way…the price on this bag? Around $4890. Go figure.
