But even this leading fashion house encounters copycat manufacturers. Try as they might, these counterfeit producers cannot replicate the quality and craftsmanship of an authentic Fendi item.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help you distinguish what\u2019s real and what\u2019s not, we\u2019ve compiled a list of steps taken by our very own authentication team to determine the authenticity of a Fendi bag. Keep reading and never get bamboozled again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Quality of Leather<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/authentic-leather.jpg\" alt=\"White Fendi bag\" data-id=\"72303\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/authentic-leather.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/?attachment_id=72303\" class=\"wp-image-72303\"\/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s easy to tell the authenticity of a leather Fendi bag as it&#8217;s ALWAYS made from high-quality leather. This high-class material should be firm enough to stand up on its own without bending or creasing. Another dead giveaway is the scent of the bag\u2019s materials. Anyone who has encountered authentic designer bags knows that it smells clean and leathery. On the contrary, replicas use cheap materials such as fake leather and chemical glues that produce an unpleasant smell, which is hard to stand.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Fendi Materials<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/fendi-zucca-bag.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"72304\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/fendi-zucca-bag.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/?attachment_id=72304\" class=\"wp-image-72304\"\/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Other Fendi handbags such as the Zucca monogram tote is crafted with the brand\u2019s signature jacquard canvas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned previously, authentic designer bags are made with world-class craftsmanship. Hence, weaves of the jacquard materials should be perfect, not loose or pixelated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The interior lining should not be printed but rather plain canvas instead. Nor should it match the exterior print.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fendi Serial Number<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/real-serial-number.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"72305\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/real-serial-number.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/?attachment_id=72305\" class=\"wp-image-72305\"\/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>All Fendi bags made after the 1980s have a serial number. It&#8217;s either embossed on the back of a leather tag or on a narrow leather tag, sewn into the seam in one of the corners or pockets. The label inside should read \u2018FENDI Made in Italy\u2019. This serial code consists of an alpha-numeric serial number, separated by dashes and consisting of 15 to 17 digits that are identical to the number on the bag&#8217;s authenticity card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Holographic Tags<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/fendi-bag.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"72306\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/fendi-bag.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/?attachment_id=72306\" class=\"wp-image-72306\"\/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to protect the brand\u2019s integrity and battle against counterfeiting, Fendi introduced holographic foil stickers in 2004. This detailed sticker is attached to the fabric tag and accompanies a serial number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">RFID Tags<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/RFID-tag.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"72307\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/RFID-tag.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/?attachment_id=72307\" class=\"wp-image-72307\"\/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>However, counterfeit manufacturers only assimilated this style into their fake designs. So, in 2011 Fendi took it a step further and incorporated RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tags sewn into the label (never printed). These tags contain detailed information about the production, origin as well as a chip inside the pouch. Replicas will not have this feature &#8211; so be sure to look out for this detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the bag does not contain any of these features, you could be looking at a cheapie. However, keep in mind that these serial codes were only introduced in the 1980s, so vintage Fendi bags may not include this detail. In that case, refer to the other steps and do more research into the specific item. Alternatively, you could <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fendi.com\/bh\/info\/customer-care\/contact-us\">contact Fendi<\/a> directly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Authentic Fendi Hardware<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-6 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/blue-bag-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"72312\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/blue-bag-2.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/?attachment_id=72312\" class=\"wp-image-72312\"\/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Another telltale sign of authentication is the level of quality of the handbag&#8217;s hardware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of the model you\u2019re inspecting, there is an obvious quality found in the hardware of an authentic bag.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FF Hardware<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-7 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/hardware-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"72313\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/hardware-1.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/?attachment_id=72313\" class=\"wp-image-72313\"\/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Authentic Fendi\u2019s FF clasps are made of either heavy-duty nickel, brass or nickel plating. This smooth and shiny hardware should represent the logo in an elongated, rectangular shape.

If you\u2019re inspecting a bag post-2003, look out for FF zips on their interior pockets or on bags with zip closures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, counterfeit manufacturers may try to fool you with poorly designed embossing or stamping on exterior hardware. Keep in mind that the plaque must also be the same colour as the rest of the bag&#8217;s hardware.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, all locks should fasten and turn smoothly on an authentic Fendi purse. While zips should contain the Fendi logo on both sides. Exterior zippers will also have metal YKK zippers rather than cheap plastic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Authentic Models<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-9 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/authentic-designer-bags.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"72314\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/authentic-designer-bags.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/?attachment_id=72314\" class=\"wp-image-72314\"\/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As silly as it sounds, you need to research whether the item even exists. These days, counterfeiters have taken it upon themselves to invent new models under the guise of popular luxury labels, like Fendi.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re sceptical about certain bag styles, don\u2019t be afraid to visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fendi.com\/\">authentic Fendi<\/a> website or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/fendi\/\">social media<\/a> pages to make sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Authentication Cards &amp; Packaging<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-10 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/designer-packaging.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"72315\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/designer-packaging.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/?attachment_id=72315\" class=\"wp-image-72315\"\/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, if you\u2019re buying pre-owned items, you may not always have access to the original paperwork and all packaging.

This paperwork also includes the model, colour and barcode. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although this card is referred to as a Fendi authenticity card, it\u2019s essentially just a paper tag along with a care booklet. Moreover, cards and paperwork are always found inside the bag (usually the inner pocket), never attached or hanging from it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Modern paperwork is grainy and off-white while older bags come with yellow papers. Lastly, make sure you pay attention to the font and quality of the papers too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Packaging<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-12 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/designer-handbags.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"72317\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/designer-handbags.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/?attachment_id=72317\" class=\"wp-image-72317\"\/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Authentic Fendi bags come in a yellow carton box, containing stickers with the item&#8217;s model, serial number and other relevant information.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Newer dust bags are also made with white canvas, black string and black logo text.

Unlike cheapies that have uneven, thick and bulky stitching. Moreover, the thread colour will always be the exact same colour as the material.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re examining an item, make sure to check the stitching around the tags, ends of the straps, corners and especially in the hidden compartments.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Price Tag<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-14 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/luxury-bags.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"72321\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/luxury-bags.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/?attachment_id=72321\" class=\"wp-image-72321\"\/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Always remember that authentic designer items don\u2019t come cheap.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is! You\u2019ll never find a brand new R2,000 Fendi handbag &#8211; even in the pre-owned industry! So, if you find a bag that\u2019s selling for far less than the listed retail price, be wary and make sure you aren\u2019t being fooled into buying a dupe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where you find an item is also significant. If you\u2019re looking for authentic luxury items in sketchy shops or questionable websites, then you can expect nothing but low-quality fakes for unnecessarily high prices.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to Buy Authentic Fendi Bags<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-15 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/DSC_7491-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"72320\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/DSC_7491-2-1.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/?attachment_id=72320\" class=\"wp-image-72320\"\/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, there aren\u2019t any brick-and-mortar Fendi stores in Africa.
