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 Sara Coleman Mini Baguette? A: As a compact mini (approx. 19 × 12 × 5 cm), it holds a standard-size smartphone, a slim cardholder or small wallet, keys, and a couple of small cosmetics. Larger items like a long continental wallet or a bulky sunglasses case are unlikely to fit comfortably.
Q: Will it fit my phone? A: Most non-Plus/Max smartphones fit, especially without a chunky case. If in doubt, compare your phone’s dimensions to the internal width and height shown in the Measurements; the opening is sized for everyday essentials rather than oversized devices.
Q: How can I wear it and is the strap detachable? A: It features a single flat shoulder strap and comes with a detachable strap as listed. The strap drop is approximately 17.5 cm and adjustable. For true crossbody wear, a longer strap would be required if not included—feel free to contact us for options.
Q: What is the FF Vertigo/Sarah Coleman design? A: FF Vertigo is a playful reinterpretation of Fendi’s FF logo created in collaboration with artist Sarah Coleman for the Summer 2021 capsule. Expect vivid colours, twisted FF motifs, and seasonal limited-run pieces that have become sought-after on the resale market.
Q: Is the magnetic flap closure secure and safe around cards and phones? A: The magnetic flap provides a secure close for daily use. Modern EMV-chip cards and smartphones are not affected by typical handbag magnets; however, hotel key cards with low-coercivity magstripes can be more sensitive—store them separately as a precaution.
Q: How should I care for the patterned canvas, leather trim, and satin lining? A: Gently wipe canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and avoid harsh chemicals. Keep light-coloured canvas away from dark denim or abrasive surfaces to minimise colour transfer. Condition leather sparingly and avoid soaking. For the pink satin lining, spot-clean carefully with a mild solution and a soft cloth, then air-dry—do not scrub or use solvents.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag and what markers should I expect? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes multi-point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, logos, and stamps. Fendi bags typically feature a serial number inside; from 2004 many include a hologram sticker, and from around 2010 onward some models use an RFID/NFC fabric tag. Hardware engravings and quality of the FF motif are also assessed. Presence of a serial number alone does not guarantee authenticity, so we review all markers together.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under Accessories; for this piece, a detachable strap is included. If an item such as a dust bag or authenticity card is not listed there, it is not included—contact us if you need confirmation.
Q: Any storage tips to keep it in great shape? A: Store it lightly stuffed to maintain the silhouette, in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and humidity. Keep the strap flat and avoid pressing hardware against the canvas to prevent imprints or scratches.
