Perfect for a day in the city—from brunch to boutique browsing—this vintage Fendi Zucca Mamma Bag lends effortless polish. Crafted in brown Zucca canvas with dark brown leather trim, it sits comfortably on the shoulder with its adjustable strap. A magnetic flap and a neatly organised interior pocket keep essentials secure, while silver-toned hardware completes the look.
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 Zucca Mamma bag? A: With measurements of approximately 28 × 21 × 11 cm, it comfortably holds a large smartphone, continental wallet, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, a small cosmetics pouch, and an A5 diary. A 500 ml water bottle or a 10-inch tablet/iPad fits when placed horizontally. Full-size laptops and A4 folders are generally too large for this model.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: The Mamma is designed as a shoulder bag. It has a single adjustable strap with an approximate drop of 26 cm, intended to sit neatly under the arm. While you can shorten or lengthen the drop slightly via the buckle, it is not designed for crossbody wear.
Q: Is this style considered vintage, and is it still produced today? A: The Mamma silhouette originated in the late 1990s and is widely collected as a vintage style in Zucca canvas. Fendi has since reintroduced the Mamma Baguette in its current collections, but this particular piece is a pre-owned, vintage edition.
Q: What kind of closure and interior does it have? A: It features a magnetic flap closure for quick, secure access. Inside, there is a fabric-lined compartment with one internal pocket to organise small items. Hardware is silver-toned.
Q: How should I care for the Zucca canvas and leather trim? A: Gently brush off surface dust, then spot-clean the canvas with a soft cloth slightly dampened with lukewarm water and a tiny amount of mild soap; avoid soaking. Keep leather trim dry; nourish sparingly with a suitable leather conditioner and always test any product on a discreet area first. Let the bag air-dry away from heat and direct sunlight. Store it loosely stuffed in a cool, dry place, ideally in a breathable dust bag.
Q: Is the Zucca canvas waterproof? A: The jacquard canvas is durable but not waterproof. Light rain is usually fine if blotted off promptly, but prolonged exposure to moisture may mark the fabric and leather. If the bag gets wet, blot gently and allow it to air-dry naturally—do not use heat.
Q: How do I authenticate a vintage Fendi Zucca Mamma bag? A: Look for consistent FF motif alignment and crisp branding. Interior tags vary by era and may read Fendi, Fendi Roma, or Fendi Made in Italy. From the early 2000s, many Fendi bags incorporated a hologram with a serial number; vintage pieces often have a serial number on or behind a leather/fabric tag inside the pocket (some later numbers are long strings separated by dashes). Hardware should feel substantial with clean engravings. If in doubt, consult a reputable authenticator. At A Retro Tale, every item is vetted by in‑house experts using multi‑point checks before listing.
Q: Will a standard iPad fit under the flap? A: Yes, most 10-inch tablets (about 25 × 17.5 cm) fit when placed horizontally. The flap and magnetic closure make the opening snug, so very thick cases may be a tight fit.
Q: Can I adjust or replace the strap? A: The shoulder strap adjusts via its buckle to fine‑tune the drop for comfort. It is not designed to be removed or replaced for crossbody conversion, and we do not recommend third‑party modifications that could stress the hardware or leather.
Q: What is included with this purchase? A: Everything that comes with the bag is listed in the product information on this page. If an item such as a dust bag or authenticity card is not listed there, it is not included.
