An elegant choice for after-work drinks, gallery openings or weekend brunch, this vintage Fendi Mia in brown textured leather with gold-tone hardware slips neatly over the shoulder. Its flap-top silhouette keeps essentials in check from day to night.
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 Mia Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 34 × 18 × 9 cm, it will hold daily essentials such as a smartphone, long wallet, sunglasses case, keys and a small cosmetics pouch. A compact tablet up to around 8 inches can fit; larger devices and laptops will not. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Can it be worn crossbody? Is the strap adjustable or removable? A: The Mia features a single chain-and-leather shoulder strap with an approximate 20 cm drop. It is designed for the shoulder or crook of the arm; the strap is not adjustable or detachable and the bag is not intended for crossbody wear.
Q: What is the closure and interior layout on this piece? A: This bag has a flap top with a magnetic closure. The interior is lined in tonal fabric and includes one internal pocket, making it easy to organise small items while keeping essentials secure.
Q: Is the chain strap comfortable for daily use? A: The chain is interwoven with leather, which helps it sit more comfortably on the shoulder than a full metal chain. As with any chain detail, it may feel firmer on bare skin; wearing it over a coat or knit adds comfort for extended wear.
Q: Is this considered vintage? When was the Mia style popular? A: Yes, the Mia is a 2000s-era Fendi shoulder bag style, often seen in leather or Zucca/FF monogram with a prominent logo plaque and chain‑and‑leather strap. This piece is a vintage example from that period.
Q: How should I care for the textured leather and gold‑tone hardware? A: Wipe the leather with a soft, slightly damp cloth and let it air‑dry. Apply a neutral leather conditioner sparingly a few times per year. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture, oils and direct sunlight to preserve the colour. Polish hardware gently with a clean microfiber cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners.
Q: Will the magnetic closure affect cards or a phone? A: The magnet is small and typical devices are generally unaffected. To be cautious, keep magnetic‑stripe cards and hotel keys away from the closure and store them in a wallet or cardholder.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything that comes with the bag is listed under the product information section. If an item such as a dust bag or card is not listed there, it is not included. This piece is currently offered without additional items.
Q: What is the condition of this specific bag? A: External: very good with rubbing on corners and along the piping. Internal: very good with light signs of use. Hardware: shiny with light scratches. Please review the photos for a detailed view.
Q: Where would I find serial or identification details on a bag from this era? A: Many Fendi bags from the 2000s feature a long serial number and an embossed Made in Italy mark, often on an interior leather tag or near an inner seam. Placement can vary by model; our team has inspected this piece as part of our authentication process.
