Fendi rewind

If you've read my blogs within the past month, you already know how big I am on thrifting! I've found so many hidden gems in thrift stores and consigment shops within the past month that were originally worth way more than I purchased them for.

If you keep up with the big fashion designers, many popular brands such as Fendi and Gucci are going back to their roots, and modernizing their vintage pieces for their Spring/Summer 2018 collection. Specifically, Fendi has returned to their signature monogram look that grew to popularity in the 1970s and again in 1997.

I discovered my vintage Fendi for only $3.99 at Savers Thrift Store! It features the classic saddel stitching, and the large double-F logo that gained a cult following back in the day. The key to purchasing a vintage designer handbag is Google! Google to double check the authenticity; my bag features a serial number that's stamped in the interior of the bag, a feature that was placed in all bags after 1980. It also has an interior leather label that states "Fendi Made in Italy." If your bag doesn't have this it was either made prior to 1980, or it's unfortunately a fraud.

Since this bag is vintage it does have some minor wear and tear on the leather. However, that's easily repairable at a shoe store (they commonly fix leather tears and broken zippers on purses).

Today, the signature bags that mimic the 1970s designs will cost you at least $2,390.00, and that's just for the Runway Shopper purse. Other styles will run you nearly $3,590.00. So I'll consider this find a steal that's right on trend!

Happy Thirfting!
