Okay, so today I’m gonna talk about something I did recently that I’m pretty stoked about – snagging a perfect Fendi Oyster bag. You know, the classic style? Yeah, that one.
It all started when I was just scrolling through some online shops, like you do when you’re bored. I wasn’t even looking for a bag specifically, but then I saw it. This gorgeous Fendi with that signature Zucca print but in this unique, kinda curvy “Oyster” shape. I was hooked. It was from one of those second-hand luxury sites, you know the type.
I started digging. I mean, you gotta be careful with these things, right? So I checked out all the photos, zoomed in on every detail. It looked pretty good, but the description did say the lining was ripped a bit. That gave me a pause, but I figured, “Hey, maybe I can get that fixed.” and the pictures look good to me.
Then I dove into the whole authentication thing. This particular site said they had some kind of “exclusive authentication service,” so that was reassuring. Plus, they had a pretty good return policy, just in case. Still, I did my own research, comparing the bag to other confirmed authentic ones online. The logo placement, the stitching, the hardware – everything seemed to match up.
After a couple of days of going back and forth (and driving my friends crazy with pictures), I finally decided to go for it. I mean, they were offering free 1-3 day shipping for a limited time, so the pressure was on! Haha.
The waiting was the worst part. But then, it arrived! I ripped open that box like a kid on Christmas morning. And there it was. It was just as beautiful in person. The leather was super soft, and that print was just popping. I felt the leather, it is so real, and the quality is obvious. I was so excited, and started to take a lot of pictures.
Of course, I checked the lining right away. Yep, it was ripped, just like they said. But honestly, it wasn’t that bad. I took it to a local leather repair shop, and they said they could totally fix it, no problem. And the price was reasonable, so yeah, I was okay with that.
- Saw the bag online – instant love!
- Examined the pictures closely – looked for any red flags.
- Researched authentication – compared it to other real ones.

Steps I took:
So now I’m the proud owner of a classic Fendi Oyster bag. It’s a little bit vintage, a little bit unique, and totally me. And I got it for a pretty decent price, all things considered. If you’re thinking about getting a designer bag, definitely check out those second-hand sites. Just do your homework, and you might find a real gem like I did! This is a real deal, and also save a lot of money. I love second-hand shopping, hope you guys too.
That’s it, just wanna share my joy with you guys. It was a bit of an adventure, but totally worth it in the end. Hope you guys enjoy this and find something you like.
