So, I’ve been on this wild goose chase for a while now, trying to find the perfect Fendi Mama Forever shoulder bag. You know, the one that just screams “classy but make it fashion”? Yeah, that one. I wanted it to be my go-to bag, something I could sling over my shoulder and instantly feel like a million bucks. So, the hunt began.
I started where any self-respecting, fashion-hungry person would – online, obviously. First, I hit up Farfetch. They’ve got a bunch of pre-owned stuff, which is cool because, hello, sustainability! Plus, sometimes you can find some real gems at a fraction of the price. I browsed through pages and pages of Fendi bags, my eyes peeled for that Mama Forever silhouette. I saw a few that were kinda cute, but nothing that really grabbed me. Strike one.
- Checked out Farfetch for pre-owned options.
- Saw some maybes, but nothing that screamed “me.”
Next up, I thought, “Why not check out Zalora?” They usually have some pretty good deals, and who doesn’t love a good deal, right? I scrolled and scrolled, but it was mostly newer styles, and my heart was set on that vintage Mama Forever charm. Plus, I wanted to treat myself to something special, not just any bag, you know? Strike two.
- Tried Zalora for a good bargain.
- Mostly new arrivals, not the vintage vibe I was after.
Feeling a bit discouraged, I decided to try my luck at Saks OFF 5TH. They’re known for having designer stuff at a discount, so I was hopeful. And guess what? I found it! A large Mama Forever leather shoulder bag, and it was on sale! My heart skipped a beat. But here’s the kicker – it wasn’t quite the color I had in mind. Ugh, so close, yet so far. Strike three.
- Found the bag at Saks OFF 5TH!
- It was on sale, but not the right color.
Then, I stumbled upon Shopee Singapore. They have all sorts of things, and I thought, “What the heck, let’s see if they have Fendi.” And they did! They had some pretty attractive prices, too. But honestly, I was a bit worried about authenticity. It’s a jungle out there in the online shopping world, and I didn’t want to end up with a fake. So, I decided to pass on that.
- Explored Shopee Singapore for better prices.
- Worried about authenticity, decided to skip.
Feeling a little defeated I even tried places like ShopStyle, hoping to get a sale alert or find some exclusive deal. But no luck. There was this one camel iridescent suede Fendi Mama Forever bag with gold-tone hardware I saw somewhere – super pretty, but not quite my style.
- Tried ShopStyle and some other places.
- Spotted a suede one, not really my style.
At one point I even looked at Amazon just to see what they have. It had a “single shoulder strap, foldover top with magnetic fastening, main compartment, internal zip-fastening pocket, silver-tone hardware.” But I just didn’t get that feeling, you know? The one that says “this is it!”
- Checked Amazon just in case.
- Nothing that gave me “the feeling”.
The Endless Scroll
I kept scrolling, clicking, and searching. I even read somewhere that the Fendi Baguette is super valuable now, but I was committed to the Mama Forever. It just has that timeless appeal, you know? I mean, Fendi shirts are expensive because of the brand, the quality, the marketing – all that jazz. And their bags? Same deal. I was ready to make that investment, but it had to be the perfect one.
- Kept searching, determined to find the right one.
- Understood the value and was ready to invest, but only in the perfect bag.
After days of searching, I finally decided to stop this crazy online hunt. Maybe the perfect Fendi Mama Forever shoulder bag wasn’t waiting for me in some online store. Maybe it was out there, in a real store, waiting for me to discover it. Or maybe, just maybe, I needed to rethink what I was really looking for. The search continues, but for now, I’m taking a break.
- Decided to stop the online search and reconsider my approach.
- The perfect bag might be out there, somewhere, or maybe I need a new perspective.
Stay tuned. I will definitely share what I found in my next post.
