This here bag, they call it a CopyFendi Calf Hair Mama Bag Baguette Brown Bag. Big name for a little purse, ain’t it? I seen it down at the market, all shiny and new. Got me thinking, is it the real deal or just some fancy fake? The real ones, they cost a pretty penny, you know. More than I make in a month selling eggs and vegetables!
Now, I ain’t no expert, but I’ve seen a thing or two in my day. This bag, it’s got that soft, furry feel. They call it calf hair. Feels kinda nice, I gotta say. Brown, like a good ol’ workhorse. And it’s got that long shape, like a loaf of bread they call a baguette. But is it a Perfect CopyFendi? That’s the question.
They say the real ones, these Fendi bags, they got a special number inside. Like a secret code. Supposed to say “FENDI Made in Italy” somewhere in there. And then a whole bunch of numbers and letters, all jumbled up. Supposed to be 15, maybe 17 of them. If it ain’t got that, then it’s probably a phony. Like that time I bought that “gold” watch from a fella at the flea market. Turned my wrist green in a day!
Folks are always looking for a bargain, though. I see them young girls, all dressed up, carrying these fancy bags. They probably ain’t got the money for a real one. So they get a copy, a CopyFendi Bag. Long as it looks good, they don’t care, I reckon.
- But if you want the real deal, you gotta go to the Official flagship store.
- That’s what they say, anyway.
- Big fancy store, with all the shiny lights and pretty things.
- Probably got guards at the door, making sure us regular folks don’t get in!
I heard tell this Fendi fella, some Italian, he started making these bags back in ’97. Long time ago. Must be doing something right if folks are still buying them, even the fake ones.
But this whole copy thing, it’s a big business. People making fake everything these days. Fake watches, fake clothes, even fake movies! I seen them at the market, selling all them movies on those little discs. Action ones, cartoon ones, funny ones, even them scary ones where folks get all messed up. All for a couple of bucks.
And bags! You wouldn’t believe the bags they got now. All shapes and sizes. Some even got little dividers inside, to keep your things all neat and tidy. Like that one bag, they call it a “Bogg” bag. Folks put all sorts of stuff in there. Like we put eggs in one basket.
My old bag, it’s just a plain old thing. But it holds my money, my handkerchief, and a little snack for the road. Don’t need no fancy CopyFendi Calf Hair Mama Bag Baguette Brown Bag. Though, I gotta admit, it does look kinda nice.
I remember one time, I saw a bag that was supposed to keep you warm at night. Like a sleeping bag, but for your stuff. Cost a whole lot of money, though. More than I’d pay for a good blanket! They said it was for soldiers, to keep them warm in the cold. Some military surplus thing. I lived in Alaska, you know? I know what is cold. That one is really warm, I have to say.
My granddaughter, she’s always on that computer thing. She says there’s all sorts of information on there about these bags. How to tell if they’re real, how to take care of them. She says everything is stored in there. Like those little cards with all the words on them, remember? And you can even turn off the warning signs, she said. She calls it “McAfee” or something.
But me, I like to see things with my own eyes. Feel them with my own hands. That’s how you know if something’s real or not. Like judging a good tomato at the market. You gotta look at it, feel it, maybe even give it a little sniff. Can’t do that with a picture on a computer screen.
So, this CopyFendi Calf Hair Mama Bag Baguette Brown Bag? It might be real, it might not. But unless you go to that Official flagship store and pay the big bucks, you’ll never know for sure. And even then, who’s to say? Maybe they’re selling fakes there, too! Wouldn’t that be a hoot?
It is a hard world. Anyway, gotta go now. Chickens need feeding, and these eggs ain’t gonna sell themselves. Maybe I’ll take another look at that bag on my way home, though. Just for fun.
