Q: What typically fits inside the Fendi Zucca Roll Tote?
A: With approximate measurements of 27 × 25 × 14 cm, it’s ideal for day‑to‑day carry: a large smartphone, continental wallet, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, a small cosmetics pouch, a 500 ml water bottle and an A5 notebook/diary. An iPad/10–11‑inch tablet usually fits; A4 documents don’t lie flat and a 13‑inch laptop is generally too large. If you’d like a tailored fit check for this exact piece, just ask and we’ll test it for you.

Q: Can I wear it on the shoulder? Does it come with a crossbody strap?
A: Yes—thanks to the dual flat handles with an approximate drop of 26 cm, it sits comfortably on the shoulder for most wearers. This model is designed for handheld/shoulder carry and does not include a separate crossbody strap. Please refer to the Accessories section for exactly what’s included (this listing is sold as the bag only).

Q: How secure is the closure and what’s the interior layout?
A: It features an open‑top design for easy access. Inside you’ll find a red jacquard lining with one internal zipped pocket for valuables. For commuting or travel, we recommend keeping the bag upright and using a small zip pouch or organiser for added security.

Q: What is Fendi’s Zucca canvas and how durable is it?
A: Zucca is Fendi’s signature FF‑motif jacquard canvas, prized for its light weight and everyday resilience. Many versions are fabric‑backed and may be coated for added durability. It handles regular use well but isn’t fully waterproof—light rain is typically fine, though prolonged exposure to moisture should be avoided. As with most textiles, take care around abrasion and potential colour transfer from dark denim.

Q: How should I clean and care for the canvas and leather trim?
A: Wipe away dust with a soft, dry cloth. For spot suppose on canvas, use a mild fabric or vegetable‑based cleaner sparingly and test first on an inconspicuous area; avoid soaking or harsh solvents. Keep leather trim away from moisture and oils; condition smooth leather very sparingly with a suitable neutral product. Store the bag upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag, and avoid long‑term pressure on the handles.

Q: Is the Zucca Roll Tote still produced?
A: This configuration is generally considered vintage and is not part of Fendi’s current regular production. It’s most commonly found through trusted pre‑loved retailers rather than boutiques.

Q: How can I authenticate a vintage Fendi Zucca tote?
A: Authentic Fendi bags typically feature clear interior branding (e.g., “FENDI” and “Made in Italy”). Many pieces from the 1980s onward include a serial number on a leather or fabric tag; from the mid‑2000s some models added a hologram sticker, and later collections may feature an embedded RFID tag—details and placement vary by era. The presence of a code alone doesn’t prove authenticity; overall construction, materials, stitching and hardware must be assessed. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication and we stand behind the authenticity of all pieces we sell.

Q: What condition is this specific piece in?
A: Overall Good condition. Externally there is wear on the corners, top trim and handles; internally there are minor marks on the lining. The hardware is shiny with light scratches. Please review the photos and condition notes for a closer look.

Q: What accessories are included?
A: This listing is sold as the bag only—no additional accessories (such as box, dust bag or authenticity card) are included unless specified under “Accessories.” For this item, the Accessories field states “no accessories.”

Q: Where is it made and what are the key materials?
A: This piece is labelled Made in Italy and is crafted from brown Zucca canvas with brown leather trim. It has a red jacquard textile lining and gold‑tone hardware with light surface scratches consistent with gentle use.
