Good Condition
Perfect for weekend brunches and city evenings, this vintage Fendi Mamma Baguette in black leather with brown trim and silver-tone hardware slips neatly under the arm. The adjustable shoulder strap and magnetic flap make it effortless for day-to-night plans, carrying just the essentials with understated Italian flair.
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 Leather Mamma Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 28 × 21 × 12 cm, it comfortably holds a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch, and an e‑reader or iPad mini. It does not fit A4 documents or a 13-inch laptop, and the flap opening is narrower than the body, so structured items larger than A5 may be tight.
Q: Can I wear this Mamma Baguette crossbody? A: It is designed as a shoulder bag with an under‑the‑arm carry. The strap drop is about 22 cm (adjustable), which is typically too short for crossbody on most builds.
Q: Is the strap removable or replaceable? A: The strap is adjustable but not designed to be detachable. A professional cobbler can replace a worn strap if needed, though altering original parts may affect collectability and value.
Q: How secure is the closure for daily use? A: It has a magnetic flap closure that keeps contents secure during normal wear. As there is no top zip, we recommend placing smaller valuables in the interior pocket and keeping the flap fully closed when commuting.
Q: When was the Mamma Baguette introduced, and is this a vintage piece? A: The Mamma Baguette was created in the late 1990s as a roomier “mother” version of the classic Baguette and has recently been revived by Fendi. This listing is for a vintage leather example in black with brown trim.
Q: How does the Mamma Baguette compare to the classic Baguette? A: It keeps the same rectangular, under‑arm silhouette but offers more capacity and a slightly taller profile, making it more practical for everyday use while retaining the iconic look.
Q: What are the condition notes specific to this item? A: External condition is Good with scuffing on the corners and some cracking on the strap. Internal condition is Very Good with a light trace of use. Hardware is shiny with light scratches, consistent with gentle wear.
Q: What comes with the bag? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. For this item, there are no extras included.
Q: How should I care for the leather and strap? A: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after use; avoid prolonged exposure to moisture, heat, and direct sunlight; store stuffed in a breathable dust bag to maintain shape. Use a neutral leather conditioner sparingly on clean leather, and avoid overloading to minimise further stress on the strap.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag, and what identifiers might I see? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is vetted by in‑house experts. Common identifiers on Fendi bags include a made‑in‑Italy stamp and a serial number tag (often 15–17 characters on vintage and contemporary pieces). Depending on era, some models feature hologram labels or RFID chips; presence of cards can vary and is not required for authenticity. We can share additional photos and details on request.
