What we look at on a Fendi

Fendi has been in Rome since 1925 and Karl Lagerfeld designed for it for fifty-four years, which is the longest such run in fashion. The Baguette effectively invented the modern It bag in 1997, and the Peekaboo and the FF Zucca monogram carry the house today.

Serial and the Selleria number where present
The twist clasp on the Peekaboo, which should turn cleanly with no play
Interior lining, visible by design on the Peekaboo and therefore priced closely
Fur and shearling trims: condition, and whether they are original to the bag
Monogram canvas edges and corner wear

Fendi bags we buy

Peekaboo: The twin-compartment bag that opens to show its lining. Interior condition matters unusually much.
Baguette: The original It bag, reissued repeatedly. Early examples are collected.
Sunshine and First: The newer tote and the sculpted-clasp shoulder bag.
FF Zucca and Zucchino monogram: Canvas monogram pieces across many shapes.
Selleria: Hand-stitched leather line, usually numbered.
And many others: This list is where most people start, not where we stop. We buy across the range including discontinued lines, seasonal colours, collaborations and pieces we have never seen before. If it is not here, it is still worth asking about.

Not listed? We buy across the range, including discontinued and vintage pieces. Call (619) 236-9603 or send photos and we will tell you where it sits.

How selling a Fendi here works

1
Show us the bag
Bring it to 907 6th Ave, San Diego, CA 92101, or send photographs of the exterior, the interior stamp, the hardware and any wear. Photographs are enough for a range; the firm number needs the bag in hand.
2
We authenticate and appraise it
Our own team checks it, in house, before any offer is made. You watch it happen and we explain what we are looking at and why it changes the number. Free, and you are under no obligation at any point.
3
Take the offer, or take the appraisal
Accept and you are paid that day by cash, check or wire. Decline and you keep the bag and the valuation, with nothing owed. If you would rather not part with it, ask about borrowing against it instead.

Questions people ask first

Is an old Fendi Baguette worth anything?

Frequently more than people expect. The late-1990s and early-2000s originals are collected as the first It bag, and the sequinned and embroidered ones especially. Do not assume age has cost it value.

My Peekaboo lining is marked. How much does that matter?

More than on most bags, because the Peekaboo is designed to be worn open with the lining showing. It is priced in rather than disqualifying, and we will show you what we are seeing.

Do you buy Fendi with fur trim?

Yes. Condition of the fur, and whether it is original to the piece, are what we look at. Bring any detachable trims and charms you still have.

How much is my Fendi bag worth?

It comes down to the model, the condition and how complete it is, and then to what that particular Fendi is doing on the resale market this month. We will not quote a figure sight unseen, because a number invented over the phone is either wrong or a way of getting you through the door. Send photos including the interior stamp and we will give you a range before you travel.

Do I have to bring my Fendi into the store?

No. Most people do, because the appraisal happens in front of you and you are paid the same day. If you are not in San Diego, our Sell From Home kit is free, includes a prepaid overnight label, and is insured to the full value of the bag with no cap. We make an offer within one business day of it arriving, and if you decline we pay the return shipping.

Can I borrow against my Fendi instead of selling it?

Yes, and people do this more often than you would expect with a bag they are attached to. A collateral loan leaves you the owner while we hold it in a climate-controlled vault. No credit check, nothing reported to a credit bureau, no minimum and no maximum. Four month term, redeemable early, and the bag is never displayed or worn.

How quickly do I get paid for a Fendi?

The same day you accept. There is no per-transaction cash limit, though a very large amount needs a day's notice so we can arrange the funds. Check and wire are always available. Bring a valid government-issued photo ID: California law requires it from anyone selling to a licensed buyer.

We also buy Louis Vuitton, Chanel and Hermès. Prefer to keep the bag? Borrow against it. Not local? Sell from home with a free insured kit.
