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 Spy Leather Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 33 x 30 x 12 cm, this large Spy is suited to daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch and a compact tablet or notebook. It is roomy for day use, but we recommend comparing the measurements with anything larger you plan to carry.
Q: What makes the Fendi Spy bag so distinctive? A: The Spy is one of Fendi's best-known Y2K designs, first introduced in 2005. It is recognised for its soft, rounded silhouette, tactile leather construction, woven handles and discreet flap detail. This example also features silver-tone hardware and a Zucca canvas lining.
Q: What is the hidden compartment on a Spy bag for? A: A signature detail of the Spy design is its concealed pocket within the flap area. It is best used for very small essentials such as folded notes, a key, lip balm or slim cards, while larger belongings are better stored in the main compartment.
Q: Is this an original vintage Spy bag or a newer reissue? A: This piece is a vintage Spy bag. Original Spy bags from the mid-2000s are especially loved for details such as woven handles and the classic concealed compartment, whereas newer reissues have updated construction and, on some models, detachable straps.
Q: Does this bag have a shoulder strap? A: No. The product information lists dual woven handles and no detachable strap. The handle drop is approximately 16 cm, so it is primarily intended for hand or forearm carry and may sit close under the shoulder depending on your build and what you are wearing.
Q: What is the condition of this item? A: The exterior and interior are both rated Very Good with light traces of use. The hardware remains shiny with light scratches. As with most vintage leather bags, gentle signs of age are normal and part of the bag's character.
Q: Does it come with any extra items? A: No extra items are noted in the product information for this listing. If something is not listed in the product information, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: Is a serial number provided for this listing? A: No serial number is recorded in the product information for this piece. For vintage Fendi bags, authenticity is assessed through the overall construction, leather, hardware, lining, logo details and interior markings where present, rather than relying on a single element alone.
Q: How should I care for vintage Fendi leather and woven handles? A: Store the bag in a dry place away from direct light and heat, protect it from rain, and avoid contact with perfume, solvents, oils and abrasive surfaces. For routine care, wipe gently with a soft dry cloth and store it lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape. Handle the woven sections with care to reduce unnecessary stress over time.
