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 Leopard Ponyhair Mamma Bag? A: As a medium shoulder bag (approx. 26.5 × 18 cm), it comfortably holds a long wallet, smartphone, keys, sunglasses and a small cosmetics pouch. Capacity varies with how you pack and the size of your cases; please refer to the measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Is the strap adjustable and can I wear it crossbody? A: The single shoulder strap is adjustable (approx. 23 cm drop) and is designed for on‑shoulder carry. It is not intended to be worn crossbody. We do not recommend third‑party modifications as these can stress the hardware.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The bag features a flap with a magnetic FF logo closure that fastens neatly for everyday use. As with all flap bags, we suggest keeping the flap facing your body in crowded areas for added security.
Q: What exactly is ponyhair—does it come from ponies? A: Despite the name, ponyhair in fashion is typically hair‑on cowhide (also called calf hair or hair‑on‑hide). The hair side of the leather is tanned and finished, then printed with patterns such as this leopard motif.
Q: How should I care for the ponyhair (calf hair) exterior? A: Avoid heavy rain and prolonged friction. To remove dust, gently brush in the direction of the grain with a soft brush. For minor spots, blot—do not rub—with a clean, dry cloth and let the area air‑dry away from heat. Store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and humidity.
Q: Will the hair shed or develop bald spots with wear? A: Hair‑on hide is durable but can thin at high‑friction points like corners or where the bag rubs against clothing. Rotate use, avoid rough surfaces (e.g., coarse denim), and do not overfill the bag to reduce abrasion. For significant wear, consult a specialist leather care service.
Q: Can I use this bag in wet weather? A: Light moisture can be blotted off immediately, but prolonged exposure to water may cause matting or lifting of the hair. If the bag gets wet, blot gently and allow it to dry naturally at room temperature—do not use direct heat or hairdryers.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information on this page. If an item is not listed there, it is not included. Contact us if you would like us to confirm the contents.
Q: How do you authenticate this Fendi bag? A: Each item at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and interior tags. We stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell and can provide further details on request.
Q: How does the Mamma compare to the classic Fendi Baguette? A: The Mamma is a larger, shoulder‑friendly iteration of the iconic Baguette. It keeps the east‑west silhouette and signature FF flap, while offering more height and capacity for everyday essentials.
