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 fits inside the Fendi Wool Mamma Bag (Large)? A: As a larger shoulder style, it typically carries daily essentials with ease: smartphone (including most Pro/Max models), continental wallet or compact wallet, keys, slim sunglasses case, small cosmetics pouch, A5 notebook/diary, and a small water bottle. Capacity can vary slightly by production year—please refer to the Measurements on this page or contact us for tailored fit advice for this exact piece.
Q: Will it fit a tablet or laptop? A: Most standard tablets fit comfortably; slim 11–12‑inch devices may fit depending on case thickness. Full‑size 13‑inch laptops are generally a squeeze and not recommended for regular carry. Compare your device’s dimensions with the Measurements listed or ask us to perform a quick fit check for this specific bag.
Q: Is the strap adjustable, and can I wear it crossbody? A: Many Mamma bags feature a single shoulder strap with buckle holes for light adjustability, designed for hand or shoulder carry. They are not intended for crossbody wear. We’ll list the strap/handle drop under Measurements—if it’s missing, just ask and we’ll measure it for you.
Q: How secure is the closure and what pockets does it have? A: Mamma bags typically have a flap with a magnetic snap or button for everyday security. Interiors often include a main compartment with a zipped pocket and slip pockets for small items. Exact layout can vary by era and edition—please review our photos and description for the configuration of this piece.
Q: What materials is this Wool Mamma Bag made from? A: This edition commonly features a wool or wool‑blend exterior, leather trim, textile lining and gold‑tone or silver‑tone hardware. Wool offers a soft, tactile finish with a cosy look, while leather/canvas versions are generally more wipeable. Our listing specifies the exact materials and hardware finish for this item.
Q: How should I care for the wool exterior? A: Keep the bag away from rain, oils and prolonged sunlight, and be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim. After use, gently brush the wool with a soft garment brush and remove lint with a fabric roller. Spot‑clean only with a wool‑safe solution (test first on an inconspicuous area) and avoid soaking. Store the bag lightly stuffed, upright, in a breathable dust bag; consider cedar or lavender sachets to discourage moths. Do not overfill to preserve its shape.
Q: Is wool prone to pilling, and how can I manage it? A: Light pilling can occur with friction. Use a quality fabric comb or an electric fabric shaver on the lowest setting and work gently in one direction, testing first on a discreet area. Minimising contact with rough surfaces and avoiding overstuffing helps reduce friction and future pilling.
Q: Where are the brand markings and codes located, and how is dating handled? A: Authentic Fendi bags typically feature “FENDI” and “Made in Italy” markings inside, along with branded hardware. Depending on the era, you may find a fabric or leather tag with a serial number, a hologram/production label, or an embedded microchip in more recent pieces. Placement and format vary—contact us if you’d like close‑up photos and help dating this exact bag.
Q: Is the Mamma Bag still produced? A: The Mamma (larger Baguette‑style shoulder bag) is primarily associated with earlier collections and seasonal re‑issues. Availability in boutiques can be limited and varies by season; the pre‑loved market is the best way to find specific materials like wool.
Q: What accessories are included and how do you authenticate? A: Any included items (e.g., dust bag, box) are listed under “Accessories.” If something isn’t mentioned there, it isn’t included—feel free to ask us to confirm. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, serial/hologram/microchip and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
