Well, let’s gab about this Fendi Peekaboo ISeeU Small Bag, ya know, the one they sell in them fancy stores. Folks keep yappin’ about it, so I figured I’d put in my two cents. First off, they say this bag is somethin’ special. “Iconic,” they call it. Humph, iconic. Back in my day, an iconic bag was one that could hold a whole mess of potatoes and still not break. But this one, it’s somethin’ different, I guess.
They say it started way back in 2008 or 2009, somethin’ like that. Called it the Peekaboo ’cause it’s like that kids’ game, you know, “Peekaboo, I see you.” Apparently, they almost called it “Hide and Seek,” but some fancy pants decided “Peekaboo” sounded better. Said it fit with how you can see all the stuff inside the bag compartments, whatever that means. Sounds complicated to me.
- First thing, this bag ain’t cheap, not by a long shot. You gotta go to them specialty stores to even sniff at one. And let me tell ya, them stores, they’re somethin’ else. All shiny and bright, makes a person feel a bit out of place, like a cow in a church.
- Then there’s all the talk about the leather. “Calfskin lining,” they say. Well, I reckon that means it’s soft. They also blabber on about “stiff partitions” and “two-tone nappa leather.” Sounds like a whole lotta fuss to me. Back in my day, a bag was a bag, leather was leather, and that was that.
- Now, about the size. They got this “small” one, the ISeeU Small. Folks say it can hold a fair bit, more than some other little Fendi bag. One person even said it holds “1.5-2x more.” More what? More potatoes? More chickens? They never say! But I guess it means it can hold your lipstick, your compact, and maybe a little coin purse, you know, all the fancy things.
And get this, some folks order two of ’em! One small, one “petite.” Petite! Like a little teacup dog. They can’t decide which one they like better. Seems like a waste of good money to me. But then again, I ain’t used to these city folks and their ways.
They talk about “craftsmanship” and “creativity.” Well, I guess sewing all them little bits together takes some skill. And they do come in different colors, not just plain old brown like my old work boots. They got pink, gray, all sorts of fancy shades. And gold, don’t forget the gold. They love their gold, these fancy bag makers. “Gold-finish bar,” they call it. Shiny, I suppose.
Now, somethin’ I heard ’bout these bags is they hold their value. That means you can sell ’em later on and get some of your money back. Seems like a good investment, I guess. But who am I to talk about investments? My only investment is my garden, and that only gives me beans and tomatoes.
Some folks are all worried about whether it’s the “real deal” or not, an “authentic” bag they say. They fret over whether the color is right, whether the leather feels right, all that stuff. They even check the Fendi website, like that website knows everything! Me, I just look at somethin’ and I know if it’s well-made or not. Don’t need no website to tell me.
I even saw one person talkin’ about a “woven” Peekaboo ISeeU. Woven! Like a basket? These city folks and their fancy ideas. But I reckon it looks nice, all them little pieces put together just so. They say the quality is pretty good, a “9 out of 10.” Not perfect, huh? Well, nothin’ is perfect in this world, ‘cept maybe a good cup of coffee on a cold mornin’. Even then, you could spill it.
So, this Fendi Peekaboo ISeeU Small Bag, is it worth all the fuss? I don’t know. It sure seems fancy, and folks seem to like it. It’s probably a good bag, sturdy and all. But for my money, I’d rather get somethin’ that can hold more than a lipstick and a hankie. Maybe a good sturdy tote bag, somethin’ that can handle a trip to the market and back. But hey, to each their own, I always say. If you got the money and you like it, then go ahead and get yourself one of them Peekaboo bags. Just don’t expect me to understand why you need it.
And let me tell ya, this here “peekaboo” thing. Sounds kinda silly if you ask me. Back in my day, “peekaboo” was for babies, not grown women and their fancy purses. But times change, I guess. And these city folk, they’re always lookin’ for somethin’ new and different, even if it don’t make no sense to plain folks like me.
