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 this Fendi Zucca Baguette? A: With approximate interior space of 26 × 15 × 4 cm, it comfortably holds a large smartphone, small wallet or cardholder, keys, lipstick, compact, and a slim sunglasses case. Bulky items like a small water bottle or tablet will be a tight fit and may distort the silhouette—packing flatter items works best.
Q: Can it be worn crossbody? A: This vintage-style Baguette has an adjustable shoulder strap with an approx. 21 cm drop and is designed to sit neatly on the shoulder or be carried by hand. Classic Baguettes from this era typically have short straps with limited adjustment; crossbody wear generally requires a longer strap which is not included with this piece. Newer re‑issues (from 2019) often came with extra, longer straps for crossbody styling.
Q: Is the strap detachable on this one? A: Many Baguettes feature side buckles that allow minor adjustment and, on some versions, removal of the top handle. This specific item is sold with its original adjustable shoulder strap and no extra strap; detachability and crossbody conversion are not included in the listing. If you plan to add a longer strap later, ensure the hardware is compatible and avoid overloading vintage fittings.
Q: How does the flap close—and will the magnet affect my cards? A: The bag has a magnetic flap closure concealed under the FF hardware for quick, secure access. EMV chip cards are not affected by magnets, but prolonged contact with a magnetic clasp can demagnetise the stripe on older cards—store mag‑stripe cards in a wallet away from the clasp as a precaution.
Q: What is Zucca canvas, and how is it different from Zucchino? A: Zucca is Fendi’s larger, classic FF monogram created by Karl Lagerfeld in the 1960s, typically woven as a durable jacquard. Zucchino is the smaller‑scale version of the same motif. This bag features the iconic brown Zucca canvas with dark brown leather trim.
Q: Is the Zucca canvas durable for daily use? A: Yes—FF Zucca is usually a hard‑wearing jacquard fabric that resists light scuffs better than many smooth leathers. As with all vintage pieces, the leather trim and hardware can show wear over time; treating the bag with care will preserve its look.
Q: How should I care for the canvas and leather trim? A: Wipe the canvas with a soft, barely damp cloth; for small marks, use a mild soap solution on a cloth and blot—do not soak. Let it air‑dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Keep clear of dark denim and oils to reduce colour transfer. Nourish leather trim sparingly with a neutral conditioner after spot‑testing. Store the bag lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag to maintain shape.
Q: Where would I find authenticity markers or a serial number on a vintage Baguette? A: Placement varies by year. On many late‑1990s/early‑2000s pieces, a numeric code is printed inside the interior pocket; from around 2004, Fendi introduced hologram labels (and later RFID/NFC in modern bags). This listing shows no separate accessories, which is normal for vintage; our in‑house team authenticates every item via materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and codes where present.
Q: Is this considered vintage—and from what era? A: The Fendi Baguette debuted in 1997 and became an icon of the late 1990s and early 2000s. This classic Zucca shoulder style aligns with that period’s design language; while we cannot confirm the exact year from the listing alone, the construction and materials are consistent with vintage examples.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: None. The Accessories section for this listing states no accessories. If an item such as a dust bag or additional strap isn’t listed, it isn’t included—feel free to contact us if you would like us to confirm what’s in the parcel.
