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 Mini Tobacco Pequin Boston Bag? A: With external measurements of approximately 20 × 15 × 9 cm, it comfortably carries daily essentials such as a smartphone, compact wallet or card holder, keys, sunglasses in a soft pouch, hand sanitiser, and a few small cosmetics. A long continental wallet may fit but will reduce capacity. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Does this mini Boston come with a shoulder strap or D‑rings? A: No. This model is designed for handheld use with dual rolled leather handles (approx. 10 cm drop). It does not include a shoulder strap and does not have D‑rings for attaching one.
Q: Will a large smartphone fit? A: Yes, most modern smartphones fit upright or on a slight diagonal, depending on case thickness. If you use a very bulky case, we recommend checking against the listed dimensions.
Q: What is the Pequin material and how durable is it? A: Pequin is Fendi’s striped coated canvas paired with leather trim and gold‑tone hardware. The coated canvas is lightweight and hard‑wearing with good resistance to light rain and surface scuffs, while the leather handles and trim will develop normal wear over time.
Q: How should I clean and care for coated canvas and leather trim? A: Wipe the coated canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and let it air‑dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid alcohol, acetone, or harsh cleaners. Clean and condition the leather trim sparingly with a suitable leather product. Store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag to maintain its shape and avoid prolonged contact with dark denim or dyed fabrics to minimise colour transfer; wipe any transfer promptly.
Q: Is the bag rainproof? A: The coated canvas offers light water resistance, but the leather trim is moisture‑sensitive. If the bag gets wet, blot gently with a soft cloth and allow it to air‑dry naturally.
Q: When was Fendi’s Pequin stripe introduced? A: The Pequin stripe was introduced in 1983 and has since become a recognisable Fendi signature across various collections.
Q: How do you authenticate a vintage Fendi Pequin Boston? A: Our in‑house experts perform multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and labels. Depending on era, Fendi bags may feature a serial number printed or stamped inside (common on older pieces), hologram stickers introduced around 2004, or RFID fabric tags added from around 2010 in many models. Not all vintage pieces have the same markers, so we assess authenticity holistically.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section on this page. If an item such as a dust bag or padlock is not listed there, it is not included.
