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 this Fendi Suede Baguette? A: With approximate measurements of 25 × 15 × 4 cm, it’s ideal for daily essentials: a large smartphone, compact wallet or cardholder, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, wireless earbuds and a small cosmetics pouch. An A5 notebook/diary can fit if slim; a 500 ml bottle does not sit upright. Compact tablets (iPad mini–sized) may fit without a bulky case but will be snug due to the flap and 4 cm depth—share your device size and we’ll confirm with a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody and is the strap adjustable or removable? A: This piece has a single flat shoulder strap with an approximate 17 cm adjustable drop, designed for shoulder or hand/crook‑of‑arm carry. It is not configured for true crossbody wear and is not designed to detach. Note that some later Baguette reissues come with an additional longer, removable strap, but this listing states no accessories.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior like? A: It has a magnetic flap closure for quick access, with a red satin lining and one internal zipped pocket for valuables. For commuting or travel, we recommend keeping the bag upright and using the zipped pocket for small essentials.
Q: How should I care for the black suede and leather trim? A: Keep suede away from rain and moisture; if it gets lightly wet, blot (don’t rub) with a soft cloth and allow to air‑dry away from heat. Maintain the nap with a dedicated suede brush and consider a suede‑specific protector spray after testing on a discreet area. Avoid regular leather creams on suede. For the smooth leather trim, wipe with a soft, dry cloth and condition sparingly with a neutral product only after spot‑testing. Store the bag upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag, away from prolonged sunlight and heat.
Q: Does suede show marks or attract lint? A: Suede’s textured nap can show light brush marks and may attract lint, especially in darker colours. This is normal and part of its character. Refresh the surface with a suede brush (in one direction) and use a suede eraser for minor dry marks; avoid sticky lint rollers and harsh cleaners.
Q: Is the Fendi Baguette still produced? A: Yes—the Baguette was relaunched in 2019 and continues to be released in multiple sizes and materials alongside archival‑inspired editions. Vintage shoulder‑strap versions like this one are sought‑after on the pre‑loved market.
Q: Where are the Fendi markings and codes typically found on vintage Baguettes? A: Authentic Fendi bags feature an interior brand stamp (e.g., “FENDI Made in Italy”). Many vintage Baguettes include an alphanumeric serial number—often on or behind a small interior leather tag or along a pocket seam—and some eras include a hologram sticker. In the 2010s Fendi introduced embedded RFID for certain models. Placement and format vary by year, and the presence (or absence) of any one feature isn’t conclusive; holistic assessment is key. We’re happy to provide close‑ups of the markings on this exact piece on request.
Q: Can I add a longer strap to wear it lower on the shoulder? A: Some owners add third‑party straps or extenders if the bag’s side hardware allows, but this vintage design isn’t intended for frequent strap swapping. To avoid stress on the suede or hardware, we recommend consulting a reputable leather specialist for options and fit.
Q: What accessories are included and how is authenticity guaranteed? A: This listing states no accessories. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts—assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps/serials and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
