Well, let me tell ya ’bout this Fendi Peekaboo bag, the ISeeU Small one. Folks keep jabberin’ about it, so I figured I’d take a gander myself. See if it’s all that and a bag o’ chips, ya know?
First off, they call it “Iconic.” Iconic, they say. Sounds fancy, but to me, it’s just a bag. A small bag, mind you. Don’t go thinkin’ you can stuff a whole chicken in there, ’cause you can’t. It’s made of leather, this beige stuff. Feels kinda soft, like a good pair o’ gloves, but not too flimsy neither.
Now, this bag, it’s got these twisty lock things on both sides. Shiny metal, they are. You gotta twist ’em to open the bag up. And inside? Well, it’s pink and brown leather, soft and smooth like they say. Nappa leather, they call it. Sounds like somethin’ you’d feed a baby, but I guess it’s fancy leather.
Some folks got theirs in different colors, I hear. Green calfskin, they call it. With some fancy weavin’ on it. And some even got sparkly ones! Covered in crystals, like a dang disco ball. But this one I’m lookin’ at, it’s just plain beige. Simple, I guess. That’s what they say “selleria”, whatever that means.
- Leather: Beige, soft and smooth. Some got green, some got sparkly.
- Locks: Twist locks on both sides, shiny metal.
- Lining: Pink and brown leather, soft nappa stuff.
- Size: Small. Don’t expect to fit the whole farm in there.
They say this bag was first made in 2008. Fall/Winter collection, they call it. I don’t know nothin’ ’bout fashion seasons, but that sounds like a long time ago. And they named it Peekaboo ’cause it’s like that game you play with babies. Hide and seek, but with a fancy name. Makes sense, I guess, ’cause you can hide stuff in the bag and then peek inside. “Peekaboo, I see you”, they say. Kids’ game they named it after, they say it was almost called “Hide and Seek”, but this “Peekaboo” just fit better, somethin’ about seein’ inside the bag and all.
Now, the quality, they say it’s good. Nine outta ten, some folks say. The leather’s good, the stitching is good. It feels sturdy, like it’ll last a while. But it better, for the price they charge! Heard some folks sayin’ the gold hardware on some bags look too yellow. Not this one, though. This one’s hardware looks just fine.
But is it worth it? That’s the question, ain’t it? Well, it depends on what you’re lookin’ for. If you want a fancy bag, a small bag, a bag that’ll make folks say, “Ooh, look at her, she’s got a Fendi,” then maybe it is. But if you just need somethin’ to carry your stuff, well, a good ol’ canvas sack will do ya just fine. This here bag though, this Fendi, it’s somethin’ special. Not for every day, maybe, but for when you want to feel fancy. Like goin’ to church or a weddin’, somethin’ like that.
I seen some folks on the internet, they postin’ pictures of their bags. Different colors, different styles. Some got the suede ones, some got the ones with the crystals. They all seem to like ’em, though. Sayin’ how much they love their Peekaboo. Guess it’s one o’ them things, ya either love it or ya don’t. Me? I’m still on the fence. It’s a pretty bag, alright, but it’s awful pricey.
They even talk about where they got it, sayin’ somethin’ ‘bout the Fendi website, but they didn’t get the same color, they said. Said somethin’ about “accuracy” too. Guess you gotta be careful where you buy these things.
So, the perfect copy? I don’t know ’bout perfect. Nothin’s perfect in this world, cept maybe the good Lord’s work. But this Fendi Peekaboo ISeeU Small Bag, it’s a nice bag. A good bag. A fancy bag. If you got the money and you want somethin’ special, then go for it. But if you’re lookin’ for somethin’ practical, somethin’ that’ll just hold your stuff without breakin’ the bank, well, there’s plenty o’ other bags out there. This one, this Fendi, it’s somethin’ different.
It’s all about what you want and what you need. Me? I’m just an old woman lookin’ at a fancy bag. It’s nice to look, ain’t it? But whether I’d buy it, well, that’s another story.
