Okay, so I’ve been wanting a Fendi Mon Tresor bucket bag for a while now, but those prices, ouch! I figured I’d try to find a good copy, and let me tell you, it’s been a journey. I’m here to share my adventure, hopefully, it helps someone else out there.
First, I started looking online, just browsing, you know? I found a few sites that seemed okay, but then I started reading about how to spot a fake Fendi.
Checking the Details
Apparently, the real deal has the “FF” logo or “FENDI” engraved on all the metal parts – the clasp, the feet, the attachments, you name it. I made a mental note of that. They also said to look for a leather tag inside that says “Fendi” or “Fendi Roma” or “Fendi Made in Italy”, or a metal plaque with the same words. Plus, the color of that plaque should match the other metal parts on the bag. Oh, and bags made after the 1980s should have a serial number in one of the pockets.
My Search Continues
Armed with this newfound knowledge, I kept searching. I was super cautious because I didn’t want to get scammed. I went to some online platforms to find some individual sellers and asked them lots of questions. I’d ask for close-up pictures of the hardware, the tag, the stitching, everything.
This one seller seemed legit. Their photos looked good, and they answered all my questions patiently. They even sent me a video of the bag, showing all the details I asked for. The bag in the video had all the right markings, the “FF” on the metal parts, the leather tag inside, and even a serial number! It was a brown calfskin one, with the FF motif embossed and hand-painted in black, just like the one I wanted. It even had two detachable shoulder straps, I almost wanted to buy it directly from this seller, but I still hold back, just in case.
The Final Decision
After a few more days, I compared several sellers with the same type of Mon Tresor. I found the price of this bag from the first seller is more reasonable and he seemed more honest. I decided to go for it. I placed the order, and man, was I nervous!
It Arrived!
A week later, the package arrived. I opened it up like a kid on Christmas morning. And there it was, my very own Fendi Mon Tresor bucket bag! It looked amazing, just like the pictures and video. I checked all the details again, and everything was perfect. The stitching was neat, the leather felt good, and all the markings were there. I was so relieved and happy!
So, that’s my story. It took some time and effort, but I finally got my hands on a great copy of the Fendi Mon Tresor. It looks and feels like the real thing, but without the crazy price tag. If you’re looking for one too, just remember to do your research, ask lots of questions, and be patient. Good luck!
