Last Updated on January 9, 2025 by Ch David

Wondering if your Fendi bag is real? Need to check it?

Read this article and compare your bag to our side-by-side real vs fake images.

How to Tell if a Fendi Bag is REAL

The short answer – Tell if a Fendi bag is real by checking the interior label. The stitches should be thin and not very thick.

1. Interior label

• Authentic: Thinner details
• Fake: Text and stitching are too thick.

Too difficult? Let our team of expert Fendi authenticators take a look at your bag:

2. Flap

• Authentic: Pronounced threads all over the flap.
• Fake: Stitching is barely visibly.

3. Buckle

• Authentic: Thinner, slimmer letters.
• Fake: “FENDI” text is too thick.

A quick mention:

• The steps we’ve written so far are the BEST ways to authenticate this item
• The next few steps are still reliable methods…
• … but they apply to non-top-versions of replicas available for this item

If in doubt, we recommend double-checking the steps we’ve explained above this line.

4. Side

• Authentic: Deep stitching, making the bag look bulkier.
• Fake: Stitching isn’t as deep — hence why it looks slimmer.

5. Handler

• Authentic: No edges or extra materials around the button.
• Fake: Visible welded edges around the button.

6. Strap

• Authentic: Long and perfectly-aligned stitching.
• Fake: Threads are not aligned at the top. They’re also too short.

7. Bottom

• Authentic: The corner is curved more than the fake.
• Fake: Less arched corner.

8. Metal FF

• Authentic: The metal is shiny and reflects light landing on top of it.
• Fake: Doesn’t reflect any light.

9. Dust bag

• Authentic: Thicker “ROMA” print.
• Fake: “ROMA” is too thin.
