Alright, let me tell you about my latest adventure – trying to score a Fendi Mon Tresor Bucket Bag. This thing has been on my radar ever since it dropped back in 2018, and I finally decided it was time to pull the trigger. And I want to get a copy one of good quality.
First off, I did a bit of digging about Fendi. Turns out, they’re a pretty big deal in the luxury world. I mean, their stuff is known for being super elegant and using some of the best materials. The Mon Tresor, especially, is like their poster child for timeless style.
So, armed with this newfound knowledge, I started my hunt. And I found it is a Small Mon Tresor bucket bag made of brown calfskin embossed and hand-painted with the FF motif in black. It also has two detachable shoulder straps. This is what I want. I went to several online stores, and the first thing I noticed was the details. A real Fendi bag has this leather tag inside, either embossed with “Fendi,” “Fendi Roma,” or “Fendi Made in Italy.” Some even have a metal plaque with the same engraving. I made sure to check for that. And the color of the plaque should match the hardware on the bag, that is lined and with gold-finish metalware – little things like that can tell you a lot.
Another thing I learned is that legit Fendi bags come with these paper cards. They’ve got the same serial number that’s hidden somewhere inside the bag. Plus, there’s info about the model, color, and a barcode. It’s like the bag’s birth certificate, almost.
- Check for the leather tag or metal plaque:
- Embossed with “Fendi,” “Fendi Roma,” or “Fendi Made in Italy.”
- The color of the plaque should match the bag’s hardware.
- Look for the authenticity card:
- Contains the same serial number as the one inside the bag.
- Includes model, color, and barcode information.
I spent hours comparing different bags, zooming in on pictures, and reading descriptions. It was a bit of a process, but I wanted to make sure I got it right. I even reached out to a few sellers to ask about the authenticity stuff. Better safe than sorry, right?
Finally, after all that, I found one that seemed to check all the boxes. The details looked spot on, it came with the right paperwork, and the seller seemed legit. So, I took a deep breath and made the purchase.
Now, I’m just waiting for it to arrive. Fingers crossed it’s everything I hoped for! I’ll definitely update you guys once it gets here. This whole experience has been quite the ride, but I think it’ll be worth it in the end. Stay tuned!
