You wouldn’t buy something that’s not good for you, right? Just like a fake piece of bread won’t ever satisfy your hunger, a counterfeit Fendi Baguette bag will never satisfy your fashion cravings.

 

It doesn’t matter how “convincing” a fake Fendi Baguette bag may be, it will never match up to the real thing; that’s because authenticity always wins. FASHIONPHILE’s team of Fendi brand experts and master authenticators have a keen eye for spotting the differences between a real Fendi Baguette and a fake one.

By carefully examining everything on the Fendi bag from the materials and hardware to the smallest details in the lining and the font style, our experts can confidently identify counterfeit items — whether we’re dealing with a designer dupe or a superfake.

While our team is skilled at spotting fake handbags on a daily basis, seeing them continue to circulate is disheartening. Counterfeits aren’t just a problem – they’re a symptom of a larger issue. We hope this insight sheds light on the importance of authenticity. To equip you with the facts, here is how to authenticate a Fendi Baguette bag.

To Authenticate a Fendi Baguette You Need to Know Fendi’s Craftsmanship

Spotting a fake Fendi Baguette requires a healthy understanding of Fendi’s craftsmanship and their design standards. In this example, our brand experts noticed loosely woven embroidery, poor-quality threads, and incorrect colors in the fabrics on the fake Fendi bag that do not align with this particular style of the Baguette. All authentic Fendi Baguettes are crafted with precision and high-quality materials, ensuring you’re only getting the best of the best. Never in a million years would you stumble upon a so called Fendi bag with tacky iron-on FF logos … like this fake one.

To Authenticate a Fendi Baguette Make Sure To Check The Hardware

Of course, understanding Fendi’s craftmanship is key when it comes to authenticating a Baguette but examining the hardware is another crucial step. Upon closer inspection of the counterfeit Fendi Baguette, our master authenticators noticed incorrect font style and improper proportions on the interior logo plate. This fake Fendi Baguette also has an obvious low-quality finish that is easy to spot by comparison, whereas, this authentic Fendi bag uses hardware that’s meticulously crafted and has a distinct, polished appearance using the standardized font style from the brand.

To Authenticate a Fendi Baguette Don’t Forget to Look At The Lining Inside

After looking at the bag’s craftsmanship and the quality of the hardware, another important step is to look inside. The inside of fake bags often exposes their true nature. In this case, this fake Baguette bag shows incomplete and poorly constructed lining which is a very common indication of a counterfeit bag. Authentic Fendi bags will always use high-quality materials and stitching and won’t ever appear as though it’s halfway done.

Fakes will always fall short. Remember, counterfeiters cut corners. Their job is not to make a quality bag but to profit from as many as they can. The reality is you will never get your money’s worth when you buy fake bags. And sadly, fake handbags inadvertently support criminal activities with your dollars. 

On the bright side, our brand experts pay close attention to important details including but not limited to materials, hardware, and lining quality to ensure all pre-owned Fendi Baguettes at FASHIONPHILE are genuine. Never settle for anything less than 100% authentic.
