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 Large Peekaboo? A: With approximate measurements of 40 × 30 × 12 cm for this piece, it comfortably carries A4 documents, a large smartphone, long continental wallet, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, earbuds, a small cosmetics pouch and a 500 ml bottle. Thanks to the 40 cm width and two-compartment layout, most 13‑inch laptops fit horizontally; slimmer 14‑inch devices may fit without a bulky case. If you share your item’s measurements, we can test the fit in this exact bag.
Q: Will it fit a laptop or tablet, and are there any caveats? A: Most 13‑inch laptops and all tablets up to 11 inches fit comfortably. The framed opening and central divider mean wider devices may need to be placed carefully, and very thick laptop sleeves can be snug. For certainty, provide your device dimensions and we’ll check against this specific bag.
Q: Is the shoulder strap adjustable or removable? Can I wear it crossbody? A: This bag includes a detachable shoulder strap. Adjustability can vary by production year; on this piece the strap has an approximate 48 cm drop, which suits shoulder carry and a high crossbody on some wearers. The single top handle has about a 12 cm drop for hand or crook‑of‑arm carry.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior like? A: The classic Peekaboo design features two opposing turn‑lock closures and two main compartments divided by a rigid partition, plus an internal zipped pocket. The turn locks provide everyday security while allowing quick access when needed.
Q: Is the Large Peekaboo heavy to carry? A: The Large is a structured, substantial handbag designed for work and travel, so it has more presence than smaller sizes. Many owners find it comfortable when carried on the shoulder; if you’re sensitive to weight, we’re happy to provide an exact scale weight for this specific piece on request.
Q: What is the material and hardware on this piece? A: It is crafted in black patent leather with mixed gold‑ and silver‑tone hardware. Patent leather has a high‑gloss finish that is durable but requires mindful care to avoid colour transfer and surface scuffs.
Q: How should I care for black patent leather? A: Keep it away from prolonged contact with dark, unwashed denim or dyed fabrics to minimise colour transfer. Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp microfibre cloth to remove fingerprints and dust; avoid harsh solvents. If lightly damp, blot (don’t rub) and allow to air‑dry away from heat. For stubborn marks or dye transfer, consult a reputable luxury leather specialist rather than attempting aggressive DIY methods.
Q: How should I store patent leather to prevent sticking or impressions? A: Store the bag upright, lightly stuffed with acid‑free tissue, inside a breathable dust bag. Keep patent surfaces from touching other leathers or plastics to avoid sticking and colour migration—use soft, colour‑fast cloth separators. Detach or pad the strap and turn locks to prevent pressure marks, and avoid high heat or humidity.
Q: Where are Fendi brand markings and numbers typically found? A: Authentic Fendi bags usually feature an interior “Fendi” heat‑stamp and a serial/production number—on older pieces it may be printed in or near the pocket, while later bags often have the number on or behind a small leather tag. Number formats and placement vary by era, and the presence of a number alone does not guarantee authenticity.
Q: What accessories are included and how do you authenticate? A: For this listing we include the detachable shoulder strap as noted under Accessories. If an item isn’t mentioned there, it isn’t included. Every piece at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts—assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, serial coding and overall construction—and we stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell.
