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 Zucca Baguette? A: With approximate dimensions of 15 × 25 × 5 cm, it comfortably carries a large smartphone (including most Pro/Max models), a compact wallet or cardholder, keys, lipstick, and slim sunglasses in a soft sleeve. A passport usually fits. Continental (long) wallets and small tablets generally do not. Please refer to the Measurements shown on this page or ask us for a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Is the shoulder strap adjustable or removable? Can I wear it crossbody? A: This vintage Baguette features a single flat shoulder strap with an approximate 40 cm drop as listed. It’s designed primarily for shoulder carry; some wearers may achieve a high crossbody depending on build and preference. Many vintage editions are not designed for extensive adjustment or removal—please review our photos for the exact strap configuration and contact us if you’d like us to confirm adjustability for this item.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: The bag has a magnetic flap closure that offers good day‑to‑day security. Inside, you’ll typically find a main compartment and one internal zipped pocket. For commuting or travel, we recommend keeping the bag upright and placing smaller valuables in the zipped pocket for extra peace of mind. Our listing photos show the exact configuration of this piece.
Q: What materials and hardware does this piece have, and where is it made? A: This listing specifies Zucca canvas with brown leather trim, silver‑toned hardware, a brown canvas lining and one internal zipped pocket, with a magnetic flap closure. It is stamped Made in Italy. Our photos and description show the precise finish and details of this item.
Q: How should I care for the Zucca canvas, leather trim and hardware? A: Keep the bag away from moisture, oils and prolonged sunlight, and be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim (especially on lighter leathers). Gently wipe canvas and leather with a soft, dry cloth; use a high‑quality neutral leather conditioner very sparingly on the leather trim and test first on a discreet area. If lightly wet, blot (don’t rub) and let air‑dry away from heat. Store the bag lightly stuffed, upright, in a breathable dust bag. To minimise strap impressions, place a soft cloth between the strap and flap during storage. Hardware can show hairline scratches with normal use—avoid abrasive surfaces.
Q: Where are the brand markings and codes located, and how is dating handled? A: Authentic Fendi bags typically feature a “FENDI” and “Made in Italy” interior stamp. Many vintage Baguettes include a serial/production code on an interior leather tab; some eras used hologram stickers. Placement and format can vary by year and model. We’re happy to share close‑up photos and help interpret the markings for this specific piece.
Q: Can I add a longer strap to wear it crossbody? A: Many owners use lightweight clip‑on straps with the existing hardware, but we recommend avoiding heavy chains or non‑compatible clips that may mark the rings or stress the flap. We don’t suggest aftermarket modifications that require drilling or adhesives. If you’d like guidance on strap compatibility for this exact bag, just ask and we’ll advise.
Q: Is the Fendi Baguette still produced? A: Yes—the Baguette is an ongoing Fendi icon, with periodic reissues and seasonal variations. The Zucca pattern appears across different collections over time. This particular piece is a vintage Zucca Baguette; the pre‑loved market is the best way to find specific colours and configurations like this one.
Q: What is the condition of this item? A: It’s graded Good overall. The leather strap shows signs of wear, the hardware is shiny with light scratches, and there are stains on the lining. Our photos highlight these details. We can advise on typical cleaning/restoration options; Fendi boutiques or trusted independent specialists may offer services subject to assessment and parts availability.
Q: What accessories are included and how do you authenticate? A: Included items are listed under “Accessories.” This piece is noted as “no accessories.” Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, serial/hologram and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
