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 Mamma Bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 34 × 27 × 14 cm, it comfortably holds a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses case, a 500 ml bottle, an 11-inch tablet, and pouches for daily essentials. Slim A4 documents can fit horizontally; a very slim 13-inch laptop may fit, but the flap opening is narrower than the full width, so we recommend checking your device’s measurements against the bag’s Measurements on this page.
Q: Is the strap adjustable and can it be worn crossbody? A: The Mamma Baguette is designed as a shoulder bag with an adjustable buckle strap. On this piece the strap drop is approximately 26 cm, which is ideal for under‑the‑arm wear. It is not a crossbody length out of the box.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The bag features a flap with a magnetic FF‑logo clasp. For added security, valuables can be placed in the internal zipped pocket.
Q: What is the Zucca canvas like in daily use? A: Zucca canvas is a hard‑wearing jacquard fabric that balances durability with a soft hand feel. It resists light, everyday wear well, but like all textiles it is not fully waterproof. Avoid heavy rain and prolonged sun exposure, and blot dry promptly if the bag gets wet.
Q: How should I clean and care for this bag? A: For the canvas, spot clean gently with a soft cloth and a mild fabric cleaner, testing first on an inconspicuous area. Do not soak or machine‑wash. For the leather trim, wipe with a slightly damp, lint‑free cloth and let it air‑dry away from heat. Store makeup or liquids in pouches to prevent spills, and consider using a lightweight organiser to protect the lining.
Q: How do I authenticate a vintage Fendi Mamma Baguette? A: Authentic examples typically show precise stitching, quality materials, correctly proportioned FF hardware/engravings, and a branded interior label. Depending on the production era, you may find a serial code on an interior tag; many bags from around 2004–2010 include a hologram label, and later pieces may use RFID. Not all vintage bags have holograms. Every item at A Retro Tale is multi‑point authenticated by our in‑house experts.
Q: When was the Mamma Baguette introduced? A: The Mamma Baguette debuted in the late 1990s as a larger, more practical take on the iconic Baguette. It has been reintroduced in recent collections while retaining its signature under‑the‑arm silhouette. This specific piece is a vintage example in Zucca canvas.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information. For this piece, no additional items are included. If an item such as a dust bag or card is not listed in product information, it is not part of the purchase.
Q: How should I store the bag when not in use? A: Store it loosely stuffed with acid‑free tissue in a breathable dust bag, clasp fastened to maintain shape. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and avoid hanging it by the strap for long periods to prevent stretching.
