Okay, so I’ve been eyeing this Fendi Mon Tresor Mini Leather & Mesh Bucket Bag for a while now. I finally decided to take the plunge and see if I could find an authentic one, because, you know, the real deal is always better, right?
First things first, I started digging around for information about what makes a real Fendi bag, well, real. I found out that the inside of a genuine Fendi should have either a leather tag with “Fendi” or “Fendi Roma” or “Fendi Made in Italy” embossed on it. Sometimes, it’s a metal plaque with the same words engraved, and if it’s a metal plaque, the color of the plaque should match the bag’s hardware. Makes sense, they wouldn’t want mismatched stuff, would they?
- Then there’s the serial number. Apparently, all Fendi bags made after the 1980s have one.
- It can be embossed on the back of a leather tag or on a separate, narrow leather tag.
Armed with this knowledge, I started my hunt. I checked out a few online stores that claimed to sell authentic Fendi bags, but I wanted to be extra careful. I mean, it’s not every day I splurge on a designer bag!
Official Website is a good choice
After searching some online store, I saw this bag described as a “Small Mon Tresor bucket bag made of brown calfskin embossed and hand-painted with the FF…” That sounded promising. They also mentioned it was “crafted to a drawstring bucket silhouette.” Also saw that some meterials were “Outer: Calf Leather 100%, Crystal 100%”. I mean, I do love a good drawstring.
Finally, I decided to go straight to the source and visit Fendi’s official website. And there it was! The Mon Tresor Mini in all its glory. I meticulously checked every detail, comparing it to what I had learned about authenticating Fendi bags. I looked for the embossed logo, checked the hardware, and even found the serial number tucked away neatly. Everything checked out!
With a sigh of relief, I added the bag to my cart and completed the purchase. It was definitely a splurge, but knowing that I had gotten my hands on a genuine Fendi Mon Tresor Mini made it totally worth it. Now, I just have to wait for it to arrive. I can’t wait to show it off!
