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 Fendi FF Nubuck Tote? A: With approximate measurements of 50 × 28 × 15 cm, it comfortably holds daily essentials, a large wallet, water bottle, pouch, and paperwork. It fits a 13–14 inch laptop with ease; many slim 15 inch models may also fit. For certainty, compare your device’s measurements to the bag’s internal space and use a protective sleeve.
Q: Does this tote come with a detachable strap? A: This piece is designed with dual top handles and a top zip. The handle drop is approximately 24 cm, so it can typically be carried by hand or over the shoulder. There is no detachable shoulder strap with this item. Please refer to the product information and photos for what is included.
Q: How does nubuck differ from suede? A: Both have a velvety nap, but nubuck is created by gently buffing the outer grain side of leather, making it generally more durable and slightly firmer than suede, which is made from the inner split of the hide. The result is a soft touch with better wear resistance than traditional suede.
Q: Is nubuck leather water-resistant and can I use a protector? A: Nubuck is sensitive to moisture and can darken with water. We recommend applying a dedicated nubuck/suede protective spray before first use and reapplying periodically. Avoid heavy rain; if it gets wet, blot gently and allow to air dry away from heat.
Q: How should I clean and care for the nubuck on this bag? A: Regularly brush the surface with a suede/nubuck brush to lift the nap and remove dust. For small marks, use a nubuck eraser lightly. Avoid oils, polishes, and household cleaners. Always test any product on an inconspicuous area first and consider professional care for difficult stains.
Q: Will the leather show marks or colour variations over time? A: Some shading, flattening of the nap, and light scuffs are inherent to nubuck and develop a natural patina with wear. This piece is noted as very good overall with light signs of wear on the nubuck and scratches on the hardware, as described in the condition notes.
Q: What is the best way to store this tote? A: Store stuffed to maintain shape, in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep it in a cool, dry place and avoid plastic covers that can trap moisture.
Q: The listing mentions a stain on the lining—can it be treated? A: Many fabric-lining marks can be reduced by gently vacuuming crumbs, then spot-cleaning with a mild fabric-safe solution on a soft cloth. Do not saturate the lining and let it air dry fully with the bag open. For stubborn stains, seek a professional bag care specialist.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. If an item such as a dust bag is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every item is carefully vetted by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, stitching, stamps, hardware, and serial markings where present. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and are happy to provide additional details on request.
