what say you this Fendi??

[BagDiva]

well this bag was in the most filthly state inside....never been cleaned out..l had to scrub to get the filth out....the water was black!! but it all came out in the wash...its very heavy, substantial l'd say...the fastening is brass and steel, again heavy, the canvas feels as if it is woven with steel too!!.leather to base, trim etc... obviously an early 90s piece by design...anyone seen any, is it kosher...??/ l think probably by touch and gut...otherwise who knows..who cares...?? I think l may keep it!!! l just dont like logos...
Oh and on the clasp is engraved "isanti" wot is this???


any thoughts???

fendi are one of the most knock-offed bags around. I would have to see inside to be sure. I would guess it is a knock off. Butit is hard to tell from pictures.

I would say it cleaned up well, but as to if it is authentic or not - don't have a clue!
