In this guide, we’ll teach you how to spot a fake Fendi Peekaboo bag. It works for all colorways and models.
How to spot fake Fendi Peekaboo
The handler is the most reliable indicator of a fake Fendi Peekaboo bag. Countefits often have a noticeably different arch compared to authentic ones.
1. Handler
Authentic: Handler has a perfect arch.
Fake: Handler arches too high, making it appear taller than the authentic version.
Too difficult? Let our team of expert Fendi authenticators take a look at your bag:
2. Buckle
Authentic: Deeply printed “FENDI” text on the golden buckle.
Fake: Thinner “FENDI” text, not as deeply imprinted.
3. Interior buckle
Authentic:
Larger screws on the sides of the inner metal plate.
The “MADE IN ITALY” text is thicker, smaller, and less defined.

5. Interior label
Authentic: Corners of the inner metal logo are less curvy and more angled.
Fake: Corners of the metal logo inside are noticeably curvier.
6. Carbines
Authentic:
The “FENDI” text is properly fit into the carbines and is centrally placed in relation to the carbine’s height.
Fake:
The “FENDI” text looks thinner and is poorly stamped.
There is a noticeable distance from the top of the carbine to the text, making it improperly aligned.
Shortlist: Verify your Fendi Pekaboo

Verify the buckle on your Fendi Peekaboo bag. Counterfeits often feature improperly stamped “FENDI” text that appears too thin.

Analyze the stitching on your Fendi bag. Fake Fendi Peekaboo Monster bags tend to have thinner and smaller stitching.
Check the inner tag of your Fendi bag. Counterfeit Fendi Peekaboo bags often have inner tag corners that are overly curvy.
