An elegant desk-to-dinner companion, this vintage Fendi Mamma in black suede with leather trim and a silver-toned FF buckle elevates workdays, after-hours drinks and weekend plans alike—effortlessly refined for the office, gallery openings or city evenings.
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 Mamma Bag (Large)? A: With approximate measurements of 31.5 × 22 × 12 cm, it comfortably holds a long wallet, smartphone, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch and a small tablet or e‑reader. Capacity depends on how you pack; please refer to the Measurements and photos for guidance.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody or adjust the strap? A: The Mamma Bag is designed for shoulder carry with a single flat strap. A longer crossbody strap is not included. Strap adjustability can vary by model and era; this piece is intended for under‑arm wear. Please check the photos for strap details.
Q: How is the Mamma different from the classic Baguette? A: The Mamma was introduced as a larger, roomier version of Fendi’s Baguette, retaining the flap and FF buckle while offering more capacity and an easy under‑arm silhouette. Contemporary reissues continue this DNA.
Q: Is the magnetic flap closure safe for cards and phones? A: The magnet is generally fine for smartphones and modern chip‑and‑PIN cards. As a precaution, avoid placing traditional magnetic‑stripe cards or hotel keys directly against the closure for prolonged periods.
Q: How do I care for the black suede and leather trim? A: Brush the suede gently with a clean suede brush to lift the nap, apply a dedicated suede protector before first wear, and blot (don’t rub) any moisture. Keep away from rain and oils, and avoid harsh cleaners. Wipe leather trim and hardware with a soft, dry cloth only.
Q: Will the colour transfer or mark clothing? A: As with most dark suedes, some colour transfer can occur, especially against light fabrics and denim. Allow protector spray to cure fully, minimise friction against light garments, and store away from humidity and direct sunlight.
Q: What does Very Good condition mean? A: It indicates light, well‑kept wear consistent with careful use. Expect minor signs such as light scuffing at the corners, gentle wear on the strap, and fine hairline scratches to the hardware. Always review the detailed photos and notes for this exact piece.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything that comes with the bag is listed in the product information section on this page. If an item such as a dust bag or authenticity card is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: Is this an authentic Fendi piece? A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is thoroughly authenticated by our in‑house specialists using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, stamps and hardware. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: How should I store it when not in use? A: Keep it lightly stuffed to maintain shape, place it in a breathable dust bag, and store upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid hanging the bag by its strap for extended periods.
