🚨HERMES KELLY vs. FENDI MINI PEEKABOO | WHY THEY ARE THE SAME

[@imbaghappy]

Fendi is seriously underrated. They have gorgeous, classic bags that are so well-made and the designs are well tought out. I have realized it more in the past 2 years… i am nowhere near the vicinity of even having the right to want a kelly but agree about the functionality. Hermes bags are just not my cup of tea so I’m with you on this one. Fendi ftw.

[@THECLOSETbyConnor]

Aw thanks so much!!! They’re such beautiful bags

[@josipag2185]

It is nor. Prices are quite high. Delvalux and Moynar and Valextra are underrated.

[@atibzzbshh8070]

this is so crazy I was literally having this exact conversation with my Fendi SA on Friday night, I said that the peekaboo is comparable to the H Kelly, and fun fact "the peekaboo is the only bag to have a back. bone which holds the bag and keeps it standing up, Silvia was brought up in her Grandmas atelier! she always wanted to design a bag that is strong like her mum and grandma! she was always amazed by how strong and creative they were, and that's how she was inspired to design such a masterpiece", I personally really loved that sentiment

[@THECLOSETbyConnor]

Oh wow what a cool story! I didn’t know this 😍😍

[@Sanchez-p7d]

the HIDUPZ would be super cute during the fall with a nude or tan or even tonal outfit! i’m thinking a tan wool coat with that bag!!

[@denisern]

I appreciate that you’re one of the few KZbinrs who would dare compare these two. I have the Peekaboo with some type of exotic interior on my wishlist.

[@THECLOSETbyConnor]

Thank you!!! Not sure everyone will agree but so be it :) yay can’t wait for you to get one x

[@DasciaSampaolo]

God bless this woman! Her HIDUPZ bag is amazing

[@kategould6946]

I have both the Kelly 28 and the mini peekaboo. I find the Fendi a much more casual bag, even though I have the Kelly Retourne which gives a more casual look. No doubt the Fendi is easier to use as I leave it open. I tend to wear it crossbody with a Fendi Strap where as I mostly carry the Kelley by the top handle and let the strap hang. I love them both with the Fendi being a more daily bag for me.

[@THECLOSETbyConnor]

That’s a great comment! I’m glad you have a retourne Kelly, I’m not a huge fan of the sellier. Aesthetically they’re beautiful but they’re so hard to use!

[@AvinaRomanos]

he variety of textures in the HIDUPZ tpack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.

[@celeste.430]

I can’t believe no one else has done this comparison (at least none that I’ve seen) but the similarities are undeniable! They have very similar silhouettes but the Prada is much more available for purchase! Thanks for the great video!!

[@mursepurse]

I've always admired the Fendi peekaboo. Thanks for the comparison!

You’re welcome 😘

[@BrigitteDeSotoMenendez]

I had this exact thought and searched youtube for a comparison and yours was excellent. Thanks for making this video!!

[@sheilaa1333]

Just bought the white peekaboo mini with taupe stitching and I LOVE it! I can’t compare to the Kelly but I’ve always thought the access and dangling sangles would annoy me. I’m more casual and love my two Evelyne bags, but didn’t want a third.

[@JenniGower]

Fantastic video Connor and you definately made very valid points. You are a star. So entertaining to watch. As I have said before you always bring a smile to my face. I have fallen in love with Fendi since finding Dayle's channel. She definately is the Fendi Queen. I prefer the Fendi Mini Peekaboo over the Kelly any day not just for the price but that does help a lot. 2 for the price of 1, now I like that. :) It was so good to see such a comparison between the two. Thank you. Much love. Jenni from Adelaide. XX

[@THECLOSETbyConnor]

Aw thanks for watching Jenni! Yes Dayle certainly is in Fendi royalty!!! 😍😍

[@justonemorebag]

Fendi is my favorite. I have multiple peekaboos in every size. I would not turn down a Kelly but think Fendi is finally getting noticed for bags.

[@sobe3328]

Rewatching your video to justify my latest purchase of my third peekaboo in the small size with python details! Omg, 😅 I blame you for this purchase. I was never interested in exotics but since your video about your MTO, I have been looking for a Fendi bag with python accents! Well, I found it this morning and I purchased it so fast I 3:32 shocked myself 😂! I can’t wait to get it! I guess Merry Christmas to me! 😂

Great video Connor, a very detailed comparison. I love Fendi, period. I got my first Fendi bag in 2017! I am very lucky to have 2 peekaboos in my collection, one iconic in calfskin and one in the IseeU east west. I am yet to buy a selleria version... would love one! I think its a great alternative to the Kelly... its so understated and underrated, and of course a much more affordable and accessible option! Having said that, it would be nice to own a Birkin one day 😂

[@THECLOSETbyConnor]

Two! That’s amazing 😍😍 I’m glad the general reception of this video is people would love to have one of each for different reasons yay x

[@beth3410]

Hi Connor- great video as always- question- how heavy is the peekaboo- how do they compare? Thanks

[@THECLOSETbyConnor]

I’m not 100% sure on the weight but I’d say the Kelly is slightly heavier but it’s probably a much of a muchness xo

[@Amelia-ib3wi]

I bought peekaboo petite size recently and I’m head over heels by the size and structure I’m glad I’m waiting little longer till the new petite size come out always want peekaboo but always not impressed with the slouchy look and the size till the come with new petite size and it’s just perfect.I own kelly 25 and mini too but peekaboo also stand out very elegant just like kelly ❤

I love the petite!! It’s so cute 💜 congrats x

[@lesliecraven3087]

Great video. great comparison thank you. Trapezoid shape with a top handle. I want a Fendi peekaboo nano and a Fendi 1st, top of my wishlist. And Salvatore Ferragamo vintage iconic top handle, but vintage so it’s a good price point. I’m an old lady and caring around a Kelly I think makes me look older. But a cool Fendi puts a little zip in my look

[@sophiadeangelistaylor4391]

Loved this video so much!! So interesting xxxx

[@eileenr9932]

Yes people should know these things 😂, thank you for putting all the info together in one place and presenting to us, not a lot of KZbinrs would. I still want both though! The price points and functionality of the two would make me use them in different ways for different occasions. I would quite happily use the Peekaboo as a nicer everyday grab and go and the two pockets are so useful, where as a Kelly would be a more of special occasion bag - lunches, weddings etc. and would last me longer only because it wouldn’t be used as much.

[@THECLOSETbyConnor]

That’s a great comment to make! And 100% it all comes down to lifestyle. Why pick one when you can have both right?! Thank you for watching ✨✨

[@lv_lover3393]

Yes this is my fave kind of peakaboo love the grainy leather, it does tempt me ❤

[@THECLOSETbyConnor]

They’re so pretty! I love the mens version too

[@gracek51921]

Great video 💕 The Fendi mini Peekaboo selleria was actually the first luxury bag I decided to purchase when I was a newbie to luxury, and it’s still one of my favorites. I knew nothing about it lol - I just saw it at my local Saks, was instantly drawn to it, and purchased it in London while on a work trip. I later learned more about it’s quality details thanks to two of my absolute favorites on KZbin, Dayle and Cindy’s Favorite Things (another Aussie 😊), and now you! I guess I’m lucky that my first foray into luxury bags wasn’t a fail or regret 😂 I think the Kelly is beautiful, but to me the Peekaboo is more playful and youthful, and less serious, which suits my personal style.

[@THECLOSETbyConnor]

Oh I love this! Dayle is a Fendi qweeeen ❤️

[@mizmelbourne]

An interesting comparison - sounds like the Hermes difference is marketing? It would be good to know which other brands make handmade bags of similar quality :)

[@madih473]

Great video. I am a bit torn. Going to Paris and will see if I get offered anything a Hermes. One point I don’t believe you mentioned is that Hermes holds its resell value and often goes up in value. Whereas Fendi is sold second hand at 50% or less. So kind of hard knowing I am thinking about spending $6,500 on the new fendi peekaboo, when in a few years it won’t be as sought after. Seems like it’s smarter to buy Fendi gently used.

[@THECLOSETbyConnor]

Thanks for watching! I chose to not mention the reselling part as Hermes bags are hard to get in that you generally spend the cost of the bag in order to get the back originally (with the exceptions of a few instances like paris etc) so I went off face value :) but yes it’s a fair point x

[@knowingluxe]

I do want a Kelly for that style and just the baguette for Fendi but the peekaboo is tempting; heavy though. Your hair looks great!

[@THECLOSETbyConnor]

I can picture you more with a Kelly! Aw thank you 💙💙

[@fashionandluxury101]

Great review Connor😊

[@qr5vy]

I had a mini Peekaboo and sold it because it wasn’t for me. I hated that I couldn’t close it because if I did, the shape would not be right. Aesthetically, it was a dream. The selleria version is the one I’m after next, that leather is the solution to that design flaw.

[@THECLOSETbyConnor]

Yeah the softer Lambskin versions would do this, and Hermes Kelly’s in swift leather (softer Lambskin equivalent) have the same sort of issue too!

[@Skylife335]

Yes I hated that about the Peekaboo but the Selleria version with a sturdy but slim bag liner and it’s 👌🏾

[@susanvivian6167]

I did a lot of research and ended up buying a mini peekaboo and I adore it!! I also bought the defender which is a great way to change it up.

[@THECLOSETbyConnor]

Ohhh I love the defender 😍😍😍

[@lisatakeitorleaveit]

@@THECLOSETbyConnor obsessed - 2 bags in one ✅

[@ClaireLouiseLuxe]

Really thought out video Connor. Both beautiful bags as you say, but the Kelly is soooo classic in some ways, that I think the peekaboo is just that bit more exciting and fun to be honest. I nearly bought a peekaboo a few years ago but ended up putting the funds to something else - but it’s always been in the back of my mind that I may get one at some point! 😊

[@THECLOSETbyConnor]

Thank you for watching! Maybe it’s time to revisit Peekaboo lane 😜😜

[@nickjsne]

Great video - production value on point ! I’m with you on this comparison, for any situation where a Kelly would be appropriate I could see the use of a Peekaboo and vice versa. I think I’d go Peekaboo out of the two if I were to have the option as I love the variety ☺️

Thanks Nick! You’d rock both regardless 😘😘

I keep the raincoats in the pockets in both bags. I have a k28 and a medium Selleria peekaboo

[@MeYou-gb7zy]

Balenciaga named their colors for the city bag too

[@Wildunfiltered]

Just going back and watching your videos! Love this one. I have a couple of Kellys and I did have a sellieria peekaboo. I got the peekaboo because I was lusting after a Kelly. Once I got my Kelly I never reached for the peekaboo. They were similar colours. I think the peekaboo is a beautiful bag and quality is stunning. My Kellys are both 28 retourne and I love this size. The mini peekaboo i found a little small. Also although I like the structure of it being two compartments, this restricts what you can fit in compared to one bigger section so I prefer the Kelly for that. I love how the Kelly can look different - more formal all done up or casual with sangals loose eg. Agree quality isn’t massively different in my view but for me I would choose Kelly all day long. But that’s because I am lucky to have them. The peekaboo is definitely a beautiful alternative.

[@THECLOSETbyConnor]

Thank you for watching! I guess a Kelly 28 is a better size when comparing to the peekaboo as it’s quite small! Glad you got to experience both tho and make an informed decision! Both are beautiful bags 💕💕

[@thatspeedy20girl20]

These bags do nothing for me, but your videos do! 😍🙇🏻‍♀️💓😂👏🏼 I always learn something from them like Dayles 😍 Ok so If I have to pick, I’ll pick the Fendi but it has to be a mini ☝🏼so I could bare look at it 😂😂😂👏🏼👏🏼😉😘

[@laurenromeo]

I lean more towards the Peekaboo simply from the functionality aspect! I know both bags are made beautifully, but I think the sangles on the Kelly might piss me off 🤣.

[@THECLOSETbyConnor]

Yeah they‘re not for everyone! In the Kelly’s defense most people have their own way of positioning things and securing them to make it work so to each their own xx

[@miradonfbd]

For sure, once you get to a certain level of craftsmanship by the person making the bag and the quality of components, there isn’t a huge difference between different bags. But I will say that I prefer one larger compartment to two smaller ones. I’d use a bag organizer and have more room for items.

[@THECLOSETbyConnor]

That’s a good point! I guess it comes down to preference too x

[@melissabill1640]

Thanks for the great "unaffected" objective review! Downright hilarious in my opinion! Charging a fortune for unavailable, equal quality bags is not a winning strategy for Hermes!

[@THECLOSETbyConnor]

Thanks for watching Melissa! Always gotta being the humor 💕

[@AnUrbanGypsy]

I believe Hermès receive the finest grades of leather and they do use 18k gold to plate their hardware, so that tips the scale in their favour for me. Having said that, owning one Kelly would be enough but I’d enjoy many a Peekaboo because it’s playful. It’s still made with some of the best leathers and the different interiors and hardware combinations make it fun. (Also, I reckon Meredith has some serious dirt on the store Managers 😂. Her collection is unreal!)

[@THECLOSETbyConnor]

Mm I’m pretty sure Hermes don’t use 18k anymore, they use to like when Chanel were using 24k back in the day! Haha oh Meredith would have the tea 😂😂

I have to disagree about Fendi winning the variations round. Hermes have so many colours, multiple leathers and then 3 different types of hardware...the combinations are almost endless.

[@kpops168]

Great topic! A bit more on the interior point - to me the Kelly interior looks unfinished, raw and a bit cheap (harsh I know!). And I say cheap because it doesn’t come close to a peekaboo interior. A peekaboo interior is just divine. If you have selleria it’s interior is nappa often in a different hue. Often exotic details are included in the interiors which is beautiful. I’m all about the interior of bags and that is what has sold me on Fendi time and time again. Only thing I disagree with is holding value. Not only do peekaboos not hold their value, they are very hard to sell at any decent price and most consigners don’t even take Fendi (certainly not in Melbourne where only a couple hold the brand as most say it’s too hard to move unlike Chanel and Hermes). I couldn’t sell my pristine unused peekaboo for anything more than half it’s ticket price - it sold eventually but I lost over 3700 for a bag I never used ( I only sold it because the handle on the mini was too small. I had purchased it in lockdown so realised this fact too late!) I think that’s just because the Fendi market is more narrow. It’s not generally a factor for me at all but it is good to remember to choose wisely and I have certainly learned from my expensive mistake (s). Maybe a video on expensive mistakes would be fun - we could submit our embarrassing tales of self-inflicted loss and luxury retail madness 😂

[@THECLOSETbyConnor]

Yeah I didn’t want to go into resale as some people don’t buy with the intention of reselling or comparing to Hermes resale isn’t fair haha but yeah even I don’t like selling fendi as you lose half the retail! So hard to sell! ❤️

[@ginamorris4520]

Def will go for the Peekaboo for so many reasons. But Birkin, Kelly or peekaboo is not my style, I'm more of a Baguette type of girl. I heard Dale said the Peekabo got the Kelly vibes and I agree. Fendi is more fun though.
