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 Pequin Hobo Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 38 × 30 × 17 cm, it comfortably holds an A4 folder or notebook, a 13-inch laptop in a slim sleeve, a long wallet, phone, keys, and a small cosmetics pouch. Capacity depends on how you pack; please refer to the Measurements and photos on this page for exact fit.
Q: Is the strap adjustable and what is the drop on this piece? A: This model has a single adjustable shoulder strap. On this item the strap drop is listed as approximately 10 cm; fit on the shoulder varies by setting, so please check the Measurements and images to gauge how it will sit for you.
Q: What is Fendi’s Pequin stripe and what is it made of? A: Pequin is Fendi’s signature vertical stripe motif introduced in the 1980s. Vintage pieces like this are often crafted in hard-wearing canvas with leather trim; through the years Pequin has appeared both in coated canvas and in jacquard fabric depending on the style and season.
Q: Is the exterior water-resistant? A: Pequin canvas is designed to be durable, but the bag is not fully waterproof. Light moisture can usually be wiped away promptly; avoid soaking, and protect the leather trim from rain. If the bag gets wet, blot gently and allow it to air-dry away from direct heat.
Q: How should I clean and store this vintage bag? A: For canvas, use a soft, slightly damp cloth and a drop of mild soap if needed; avoid harsh chemicals or soaking. For leather trim, use a neutral leather conditioner sparingly and test first on a hidden area. Store the bag loosely stuffed to maintain shape, in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
Q: Will the magnetic snap affect credit cards or phones? A: Modern EMV‑chip cards and smartphones are generally unaffected by typical handbag magnets. However, prolonged direct contact may demagnetise the magnetic stripe on some cards. Best practice is to keep stripe cards a few centimetres away from the closure or use a cardholder.
Q: Where can I find branding or codes on a vintage Fendi like this? A: Look for a FENDI Made in Italy stamp inside. Many early‑1990s onward pieces include a serial number on a small fabric or leather tag (often inside a pocket). Hologram labels became common around the mid‑2000s, and later styles may use RFID chips. Older bags may lack holograms or have worn tags—authentication relies on an overall assessment of materials, stitching, stamps and hardware.
Q: Can this be worn crossbody? A: No, this style is designed as a shoulder hobo. The strap length on this particular piece is not intended for crossbody wear.
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 or authenticity card is not shown there, it is not included.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every item is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide additional details or photos on request.
