Ideal for meetings, working lunches, or a chic office-to-evening transition, its timeless design brings understated luxury to every occasion.
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 Small Business Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 30 × 28 × 8 cm, it comfortably carries daily essentials: a large smartphone, continental wallet or cardholder, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, a cosmetics pouch and an A5 diary/notebook. A standard tablet (e.g., iPad/iPad Air/11-inch class) generally fits horizontally. A4 documents (29.7 × 21 cm) may need to be placed diagonally and can curl at the top due to the 28 cm height; 13-inch laptops are usually not recommended because of the zip opening and depth. If you’d like, we can perform a tailored fit check for your specific device.
Q: Does it come with a shoulder strap, and can I wear it crossbody? A: Yes—this piece includes a detachable shoulder strap (listed under “Accessories”). Strap length is not specified; many wearers use it for shoulder carry, and it may sit as a high crossbody depending on your height and outfit. The dual rolled leather handles have an approx. 15 cm drop for hand or crook‑of‑arm carry. If you’d like exact drops, just ask and we’ll measure them for you.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: It features a zip‑top main compartment for everyday security. Inside, there is a beige fabric lining with one zipped pocket to keep valuables organised. We recommend keeping the bag upright while commuting and using the interior zip pocket for smaller items.
Q: What materials does this bag use, and what does “Zucca” mean? A: This vintage piece is crafted in black Zucca canvas with black leather trim and gold‑tone hardware. “Zucca” refers to Fendi’s iconic double‑F monogram motif, introduced in the mid‑1960s, and seen across the brand’s classic canvas styles. The listing photos show the exact materials and finishing on this item.
Q: How should I care for the Zucca canvas and leather trim? A: Gently dust the canvas with a clean, soft brush and spot‑clean with a slightly damp cloth—avoid soaking or harsh chemicals. Keep the bag away from abrasive surfaces and dark, unwashed denim to minimise colour transfer. For the leather trim, wipe with a soft, dry cloth and use a high‑quality neutral leather conditioner very sparingly after testing on a discreet area. Store the bag upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag; place a soft cloth between hardware and leather to reduce impressions during storage.
Q: Is it water‑resistant? What should I do if it gets wet? A: Canvas and leather are not waterproof. If the bag becomes lightly wet, blot (don’t rub) with a soft cloth and allow it to air‑dry away from direct heat or sunlight. We do not recommend heavy spray protectors on vintage canvas—if you choose to use one, test on a hidden area first.
Q: Where are brand markings and codes typically found on vintage Fendi bags? A: Authentic Fendi bags usually feature an interior heat‑stamp (e.g., “FENDI Made in Italy”). Many vintage pieces include a serial number either printed on the interior pocket lining or on a small leather tag stitched inside; later models may feature a hologram/RFID tag. Placement can vary by era. We’re happy to share close‑up photos and help locate/interpret the markings for this exact piece.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts through multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, logo stamps, serial/hologram/RFID details (where applicable) and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell and can provide additional photos or information on request.
Q: Can Fendi or a specialist repair or refresh this bag? A: Boutique repair options may be available subject to assessment and parts availability; lead times and costs vary. Independent luxury leather specialists can also perform cleaning, corner reinforcement, lining refresh and hardware polishing. We’re happy to advise typical options and help you prepare for a professional assessment.
Q: What accessories are included and what is the condition of this specific piece? A: This listing includes a detachable shoulder strap (see “Accessories”). Condition notes: Good overall; the exterior fabric is torn and frayed on one corner, the lining is stained/discoloured, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Please review our photos and condition rating for a detailed view, and contact us if you’d like care or restoration recommendations for these areas.
