You know that Fendi bag? That Peekaboo one? I see it everywhere these days. That little one, the Peekaboo ISeeU Small, that’s the one everybody’s carrying. It ain’t cheap, no sir. That’s a Fendi, cost you an arm and a leg. They say it’s a “Fendi Peekaboo ISeeU Small,” all fancy-like. Well, I seen it, and I seen the price tag. Nearly made me fall over!
This bag, this Peekaboo ISeeU Small, it’s got that little twisty thing on the front. They call it a “twist lock.” It’s on both sides, you see. What are you gonna use that for? Keep your snuff in one side and your chewing gum in the other? Ha! But I guess rich folks like that sort of thing. They say it is made of real leather, this Fendi bag. Not that fake stuff you get down at the market. This is the real deal, soft and smooth, like a baby’s bottom. I touched one once, down at that fancy store in the city. Felt nice, I gotta admit. But for that price? No way, Jose. That price is crazy.
They got all these colors, too. Pink, brown, beige, you name it. The beige one, that’s what they call it, it’s like the color of that old dog, the one that used to hang around the butcher shop. It’s just a color, nothing special. And the pink one? Bright pink, like that lipstick my granddaughter wears. Too loud for me. I like my colors like I like my coffee – plain and simple. This Fendi bag is a hot thing though, that’s for sure.
And it’s got a handle, you know, to carry it like a little lady. And a strap, a long one, so you can sling it over your shoulder. “Adjustable,” they say. Like you’re gonna be adjusting it all day long. Just put it on and go, I say. But I guess some folks like to fiddle with things. Me? I just want a bag that holds my stuff. My wallet, my keys, maybe a hanky if I’m feeling sniffly. Don’t need no fancy “adjustable” strap for that. A copy Fendi would do the same work, I bet.
They say this Fendi Peekaboo bag is from 2008. Been around for a while, huh? Must be something special if it’s still around. All those rich folks must like it, that’s for sure. They wouldn’t be buying it if it wasn’t good. But a bag’s a bag, if you ask me. It holds your stuff. Your wallet, your keys, maybe a lipstick if you’re fancy. So why spend all that money on a Fendi? I don’t know. I guess rich folks just like to throw their money around. I’d rather spend my money on something useful, like a new pair of shoes or a good, strong hoe for the garden.
Now they got these Fendi specialty stores, you know. Stores that just sell Fendi stuff. Can you believe it? A whole store just for one brand? That’s just crazy. They got ’em in the big cities, I hear. Never been to one myself. Don’t need to. I can see the pictures in the magazines. That’s enough for me. And all those celebrities wearing them in the movies. You’d think they would have better things to spend their money on.
They say the Fendi shirts are expensive because of the brand, or something like that. High quality, they say. I’ve seen some of those shirts, and they look like any other shirt to me. I wouldn’t know the difference between a Fendi shirt and a regular shirt. I guess it’s like those fancy watches. They all tell the time, right? So why spend all that money on a fancy one? Makes no sense to me. But I guess that’s how rich folks think. This Fendi Daning Peekaboo ISeeU Small is just another one of those fancy things.
Here’s the thing about that Fendi bag:
- It’s small. They call it “small,” but it looks tiny to me. What are you gonna fit in there? A couple of coins and a stick of gum?
- It’s expensive. Like I said, it costs more than my whole wardrobe!
- It’s got that twisty lock thing. Seems unnecessary to me, but what do I know?
- It’s made of real leather, I’ll give ’em that. But so are my work boots, and they don’t cost a fortune.
- They have specialty stores selling these bags. It is crazy.
So, if you got money to burn, go ahead and get yourself one of these Fendi Peekaboo ISeeU Small bags. Me? I’ll stick with my old handbag. It’s served me well for years, and it didn’t cost me an arm and a leg. And it holds everything I need just fine. Maybe one day I’ll understand why folks spend so much money on these fancy things. But until then, I’ll just keep shaking my head and wondering what all the fuss is about. A copy Fendi will do the same job. You can buy it from some other places, I guess. But I don’t know where to get one.
