GUIDE TO CHECK AUTHENTICITY OF FENDI BAG

There are few guide that we can follow to check its authenticity.

FENDI HOLOGRAM

Starting from 2004 to 2010 FENDI used holograms to protect their bags from replicas. If your bag produced during this time line, you can try to find hologram on your bag

RFID FABRIC TAG

However starting from 2010 Fendi RFID tags were introduced, replacing Fendi hologram tags.

It is always a fabric tag with 8 digits, sewn on this tag (never printed).

This tag contains a wireless FENDI RFID chip inside.

ATTENTION!! If Fendi have both RFID tag and hologram tag– it is 100% fake!

We also can check authenticity of Fendi bag from its serial number. The serial number is a 16 or 17 symbol number and it is consisting of digits and letters separated by dashes.

It is embossed either on a back side of a leather Fendi logo, or on a narrow leather tag, sewn in a seam in one of the corners or pockets.

It is never made of fabrics.

Must be embossed deep enough and right font

FENDI LOGO

Leather tag with Fendi logo embossed, or the metal plate.

Printed or embossed on the leather

ZIPPER

There’s nothing like the feeling of getting your first Louis Vuitton! Over decades, there have been so many exciting variations of LV monograms, prints and leathers.  Below are some fascinating history behind some of the brand’s most iconic patterns.

The History Behind Your Favorite Louis Vuitton Bags

The print Damier Ebene / Azur, which literally translates to “checkerboard” in English, was created in 1888. The two most popular versions of this print are the Ebene, a combination of two shades of brown or graphite, and Azur, a blue-grey base with a checkered white overlay

Easily the world’s most recognizable fashion print, the Monogram Canvas is a true Louis Vuitton classic. The Monogram was first created by Louis’ son, George in 1896 to stop counterfeiters from mimicking the brand’s designs. The unique pattern is made up of interlocking L and V initials and flowers inspired by Japanese and Oriental designs.

(yup, they had fake LV even back then )

The first Alma, a dome-shaped handbag was created specifically for Gabrielle Chanel, or best known as Coco Chanel. It wasn’t until 1934 that she allowed the brand to mass produce the bag for the general public.

Hello ladies and gentlemen,

Do you own any white gold jewelry? Curious about the resell value for your item? If you are interested, here we will be sharing about white gold and its resell value.

White Gold Resale Value

White gold has a lower resale value than yellow gold, but why?

This is because white gold gets its distinctive “white” colour from the mixture of pure gold with alloy. The reason white gold has lower resale value than yellow gold is because alloy cost less but it also means the purity (karat) of your gold jewelry is diluted.

Typically, you can find the karat for white gold is K18 (750) and K9 (375). This means that only 75% for K18 and 37.5% for K9 of pure gold is used. Therefore, it is common for its purity to be lower.

If you have old gold or gold jewelry, selling it can be the best way to get cash immediately.

Gold Investment

The most common gold used for investment is 999 (24k) pure gold whether in coin form or gold bullion. Containing 99% pure gold, it has a bright yellow color and is naturally soft and malleable. Because of its soft and bright color, 24k gold is not used for jewelry.

On the other hand, a less expensive forms of gold, such as 9k, 14k, 18k and 22k gold, are commonly used for rings, earrings, bracelets and other gold jewelry.

These types are less expensive due to the percentage of pure gold used. For example, 18k gold has only 75% pure gold and the other 25% is other components such as copper, silver, and other alloys.

Fortunately, this does not mean you can not sell 9k, 14k, 18k or 22k gold. If you want to sell this type of gold jewelry, the price you will get is based on the content of pure gold that can be extracted from the item after being melted and refined.

Dior, a brand rooted in history and just as luxurious as it sounds. Its timeless and sophisticated designs continue to catch the eye of women all over the world. But did you know behind every great beauty, there is a story.

Here’s the story behind the iconic Lady Dior Bag.

Lady Dior by Christian Dior

Did you know the bag, was originally named “Chouchou” ?

But what does it mean? Well ‘chouchou’ is a French term of affection.

In September 1995, the soon to be iconic Dior’s bag was given to Diana, Princess of Wales by the France’s first lady, Bernadette Chirac, on the occasion of her visit to Paris.

Princess Diana would later collect the bag in all of its colours and flaunt them at the countless events on her social calendar. From official visits to the Met Gala, both Princess Diana and Dior’s handbag blossomed into fashion icons.

It was soon being described as “iconic” and was launched in larger series, with its name changed from ‘Chouchou’ to ‘Lady Dior’ in 1996 as homage to the Princess Diana. 

The Lady Dior alphabet charms ts dangling alphabet charms, for instance, were not just mere adornments meant to spell “Dior”. They were a nod to Christian Dior’s superstitious beliefs. Like many mystically-minded creatives, he would surrounded himself with talismans and tokens that continue to inspire his designs today.

Some say “watches are great investments” and that they hold their value well however the truth is, it’s not that simple.

Oddly enough, watches are just like cars. Watches tend to depreciate most rapidly once they are taken from the store and sold on the secondhand market. Worn or not, once sold considered used.

What Brand of Watches Holds Value

Now, it’s really difficult to mention brands when talking about which brands and watches hold their value best because the truth is that it depends on various factors, such as model, condition, demand, etc.

Something to keep in mind is what actually affects the watch’s resale value. The answer is of course demand on the secondhand market, but also the prestige and reputation, and how people view the brand.

Below are some brands that watches tend to hold their value quite well on the secondhand market:

However, since the watch market is ever-changing, what may be the reality today may not be the same truth tomorrow.

If there’s no demand for a particular watch brand on the secondhand market, then naturally the price you’ll be able to sell it for will be significantly lower than the retail price.

Material Effects Resale Value

When buying luxury watches, it is not uncommon to find some models designed using gold, gems, or jewels. This of course adds to the cost of your watch when purchasing. However, it may come as a surprise but a stainless-steel watch can actually cost more than a full-gold one.

This is because the demand for stainless steel watches is much higher than the demand for gold or two-tone watches. Watches in steel also tend to hold their value much better than those of gold due to gold watches have a higher retail price, and the demand for them is thus not as high on the secondhand market as fewer people can afford them. But also, because people prefer steel over gold. This also generally goes for watches with diamonds.

Other Factors

A watch’s condition that is brand new will obviously be worth more than a watch that is scratched up and worn frequently.

Age is something that also affects a watch’s value, especially if it is the age where the warranty is about to, or has just run out.  The older the watch, the more important servicing the watch becomes. If you have a 10 years old watch but have never sent it to service, this can also affect the price on the secondhand market.

Also, the box and papers are also quite important for a watch’s value. Finally, if you have adjusted the bracelet, the extra parts are also important for resale.

Brands that don’t hold their value as well as Rolex, such as brands like Breitling, Tag Heuer, and Omega, tend to lose between 40-50%, but this is of course when we’re talking short-term, and it’s really difficult to know what will happen if you look at the watch’s value long-term

How much a watch can depreciate will depend on a number of things but mainly it is demand. A particular watch from a brand whose watches don’t generally hold its value may hold its value extremely well if the demand for it is there.

LOUIS VUITTON HISTORY

As we know, Louis Vuitton is one of the most popular luxury brands. Their design remains timeless and iconic over the years. Louis Vuitton has use many leather, pattern and design to accommodate to their customers interest and the evolution of fashion.

The iconic French fashion house has been designing time-honored trunks and handbags since the late 19th century. Owning a classic Louis Vuitton bag is like owning a piece of fashion history.

Below, please read up on the different types of Louis Vuitton leather based on pattern and design.

MONOGRAM CANVAS

This pattern ins the most popular pattern for Louis Vuitton.

Monogram Canvas has very durability character and also water repellent. No wonder it become most favorable pattern among others.

It is also water repellant and kind of easy to take care for. Just wipe with a damp cloth to clean the canvas.

However, monogram canvas can crack. Just wiping down canvas with moisturizer or conditioner to prevent cracking.

DAMIER EBENE CANVAS

This kind of canvas has a textured, water repellant and durable like a monogram.

However we can differentiate it based on it’s pattern.

To prevent it from cracking, wiping it with moisturizer or conditioner once a year.

DAMIER AZUR CANVAS

Damier Azur also has canvas material.

We can differentiate Damier Azur with Damier Ebene and Monogram is based on its color.

Color of Damier Azur lighter compare to others canvas material.

As we know, this kind of canvas are durable. However for Damier Azur, it should be kept from prolonged with clothing to prevent color transfer.

VERNIS LEATHER

It have a similar pattern with leather.

This vernis leather come with many different color, a bit glossy and water repellant

However, we have to more care of this kind of leather. it can change color if exposed to sunlight in long time period. It also need a proper dust bag.

EPI LEATHER

Louis Vuitton Epi leather is a hard leather with textured.

It come with many color and easy to take care. The thick textured leather make it seen very sturdy and create great structure to the bag.

Just conditioning it every year can maintain its great shape.

EMPRIENTE LEATHER

This gorgeous material is very durable and easy to care of.

It has a modern drummed texture and not really sensitive with sunlight and water.

This type of leather will soften over time and use.

Most of the bags that using emperiente leather are also not structured.
