Perfect for cocktails, dinner dates, and city nights, this vintage Fendi Baguette in black patent leather adds glossy polish to tailored or denim looks. Finished with a gold‑tone FF‑buckle flap and a sleek shoulder strap, it keeps essentials close from dusk till dawn.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What typically fits inside the Medium Fendi Baguette? A: With approximate dimensions of 27 × 16 × 5 cm, it fits a standard smartphone, a small wallet or card holder, keys, lip balm/compact, and slim sunglasses. It will not fit a tablet or a water bottle. Capacity varies by how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: Is the strap adjustable or suitable for crossbody wear? A: This piece has a single flat shoulder strap with an approximate 15 cm drop, designed to sit neatly under the arm. It is not supplied with a longer strap. If you own a compatible clip-on strap, you may be able to attach it to the side hardware—please review the photos to confirm ring placement and ensure a secure fit.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The flap closes with the FF buckle over a concealed magnetic clasp, providing quick yet secure access for day-to-day use. As with any magnetic closure, keep it away from items sensitive to magnets (for example, hotel key cards).
Q: How should I care for black patent leather? A: Wipe after use with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid alcohol, acetone, and oily conditioners, which can dull or haze the finish. Store the bag lightly stuffed in a breathable, light‑coloured dust bag, away from heat and direct sunlight, and avoid prolonged contact with dark fabrics to minimise colour transfer.
Q: What can I do about light scuffs, cloudiness or a sticky feel on patent? A: Light surface marks can sometimes be reduced by gently buffing with a clean microfibre cloth or using a patent‑specific cleaner on a hidden area first. Cloudiness or tackiness can result from plasticiser migration; keep the bag cool, dry, and stored separately. For persistent issues, consult a professional handbag care specialist.
Q: What is the interior like and how do I look after it? A: The bag has a beige leather lining with one internal zip pocket. For light dirt, wipe gently with a dry, soft cloth. Use a leather‑specific cleaner sparingly and avoid soaking. Store liquids and cosmetics in a pouch to prevent new stains.
Q: Is this bag authentic, and what authenticity features might I see? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is thoroughly authenticated by our in‑house experts. Vintage Fendi Baguettes typically feature a clear Made in Italy stamp, precise stitching, and weighty FF hardware. Depending on production period, you may find a fabric serial tag; hologram stickers were introduced around 2004, and some later styles use embedded chips. The presence or absence of a hologram varies by era and is not a sole indicator of authenticity.
Q: Does this item come with any accessories? A: No. This piece is sold without accessories (no dust bag, box, or additional strap) unless specifically listed otherwise on this page.
Q: What is the condition of this particular bag? A: Overall good vintage condition with wear consistent with age and use. There are scratches on the patent exterior; the lining shows dirt and stains; and the hardware has scratches and some discolouration. Please refer to the photos for a full view of its condition.
Q: Is the Medium Baguette suitable for day‑to‑night wear? A: Yes. Its classic east‑west silhouette and slim 5 cm profile make it a versatile shoulder bag for both daytime and evening. Pack flatter items to preserve its shape and smooth finish.
