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 can this tote hold day to day? A: With measurements of approximately 35 × 27 × 14 cm, it fits A4 documents, a diary, a water bottle laid horizontally, and everyday essentials. Most 13-inch laptops fit comfortably; some slim 14-inch devices may also fit depending on their exact dimensions—please compare your device to the measurements provided.
Q: Does it have a shoulder strap? A: This piece is designed with dual flat leather handles only. The handle drop is about 18 cm, ideal for hand carry or the crook of the arm; it may be a snug fit on the shoulder, especially over outerwear.
Q: What is Fendi’s Zucca canvas? A: Zucca refers to Fendi’s iconic FF monogram, created by Karl Lagerfeld in the 1960s. The pattern appears in a larger scale called Zucca, while the smaller-scale version is often called Zucchino.
Q: Is Zucca canvas durable and water-resistant? A: Zucca fabric is typically a coated canvas with leather trim. The coating makes it light, hard-wearing and resistant to light rain and surface marks, but it is not fully waterproof—avoid soaking and wipe away moisture promptly.
Q: How should I clean and care for this bag? A: Wipe the coated canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and a little mild soap if needed, then dry with a lint-free cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, alcohol-based wipes and acetone. Nourish the leather trim sparingly with a suitable leather conditioner. Store the bag lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct heat and sunlight, and avoid hanging by the handles to prevent stretching.
Q: How can I tell the era or authenticate a vintage Fendi bag? A: Many Fendi bags from the 1980s onward have serial numbers (often 15–17 characters) on or behind an interior tag. From around 2004 to the late 2000s, many styles included a hologram sticker; in the 2010s, Fendi moved to sewn-in RFID chips on numerous models. Codes and placements vary by era and style, and fading is common on vintage pieces. A Retro Tale performs multi-point authentication; we are happy to share further details on request.
Q: What closure and interior does this model have? A: It features an open top for easy access and a black fabric-lined interior with one main compartment, making it practical for daily carry. Use small pouches for valuables if you prefer added organisation.
Q: What items are included with this piece? A: Everything included is listed in the product information on this page. This specific tote includes a detachable brown leather pouch; if an item such as a dust bag or card is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: Any tips to keep the canvas looking its best? A: Rotate use, avoid light-coloured clothing if items are prone to colour transfer, and keep cosmetics or pens inside smaller pouches. For spills, blot—do not rub—then clean as above. Regular gentle care preserves the print and structure over time.
