Whether heading to the office or elevating weekend looks, this spacious beige Fendi Mamma bag offers refined ease. Gold-tone hardware lends polish for dinners and events, while the adjustable shoulder strap keeps it comfortable for busy days in the city.
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 Large Mamma Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 35 × 27 × 12 cm, it comfortably holds everyday essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, small cosmetic pouch, a water bottle, and A4 documents. It can also fit most 13-inch laptops in a slim sleeve; tighter 14-inch models may fit depending on dimensions. Packing method and case thickness will affect capacity—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: Is the strap adjustable and can it be worn crossbody? A: This bag features a single adjustable shoulder strap with chain link details. The strap drop is approximately 23 cm on the shown setting. It is designed to be worn on the shoulder (tucked neatly under the arm) rather than as a crossbody.
Q: How does the Mamma differ from the classic Fendi Baguette? A: The Mamma is the larger “mother” version of Fendi’s Baguette. It keeps the short-strap, flap silhouette but offers a roomier, more practical interior and a squarer profile, making it suitable for daily carry compared with the smaller original Baguette.
Q: Is this a vintage design and has it been reissued? A: Yes—Fendi introduced the Mamma Baguette in the late 1990s as a larger take on the iconic 1997 Baguette. The style has seen periodic revivals in recent collections, which is why you may see contemporary versions alongside vintage pieces like this one.
Q: How does the bag close and what hardware does it have? A: This piece has a magnetic flap closure and gold‑tone hardware with a decorative buckle at the front. The hardware presents a shiny finish with light surface scratches consistent with very good, gently used condition.
Q: Where can I find the serial number/date code on a vintage Fendi like this? A: On many vintage Fendi bags the serial number is stamped on the reverse of a small leather or fabric tag inside the main compartment or interior pocket. Placement and format can vary by era, and numbers may fade with wear. Presence of a code alone does not guarantee authenticity—our team reviews multiple markers across materials, stitching, stamps and hardware.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section. Unless stated there, no additional items (such as a dust bag or authenticity card) are included.
Q: How should I care for the beige leather? A: Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt, then dry immediately. Avoid harsh cleaners, oils, and prolonged exposure to moisture, heat, or direct sunlight to prevent colour changes. Store the bag lightly filled in a breathable dust bag, with the strap relaxed, to help maintain its shape and minimise creasing. Use a colourless leather conditioner sparingly and test on a small inconspicuous area first.
Q: Is the bag water‑resistant? A: Leather is not waterproof. Avoid rain and humidity where possible; if the bag gets wet, blot (do not rub) with a clean soft cloth and allow it to air dry away from direct heat sources. Consider using a gentle leather protector suitable for smooth leather after spot‑testing.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is thoroughly 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 can provide additional details or photos on request.
