Authenticate Fendi Peekaboo
A structured bag with twin twist locks and a visible interior.
Rome
The Peekaboo opens to show its lining, which is the design's whole idea and also its authentication feature: the interior is meant to be seen, so it is finished to exterior standards. Raw edges, glue traces or an unlined pocket are decisive on this model in a way they would not be on a bag whose interior stays hidden.
The twin twist locks are cast and should turn with resistance and no play, sitting flush when closed. Their plates are mounted level with no gap at any corner.
The bag holds its shape empty and its two compartments are separated by a rigid divider. A Peekaboo that slumps has the wrong internal construction.
What a Peekaboo does on the secondary market
A quieter market than the Baguette but a durable one, and unusual interiors carry a premium precisely because they are the point of the bag.
An orientation for honest, unrestored condition — never an appraisal, and never a quotation.
