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 is Zucchino, and how does it differ from Zucca? A: Zucchino refers to Fendi’s small-scale FF monogram, while Zucca is the larger version. Both appear on jacquard canvas in various colours; Zucchino became especially popular from the late 1990s into the 2000s.
Q: Is this the Mamma Baguette style and how is it meant to be worn? A: Yes—this is the larger, shoulder-friendly take on the classic Baguette silhouette. It features a single adjustable flat shoulder strap and is intended for shoulder carry rather than crossbody.
Q: What typically fits inside at 28 × 20 × 12 cm? A: It comfortably fits a long wallet, smartphone, keys, sunglasses, small cosmetics pouch, and an A5 notebook or an iPad mini. A standard iPad may fit horizontally without a bulky case but will be snug. Capacity depends on how you pack.
Q: Is the strap adjustable and what is the drop? A: The strap has an adjustable buckle with an approximate drop of 23 cm, allowing you to fine-tune it for under‑arm or slightly lower shoulder carry.
Q: How does the bag close and what is the interior like? A: It has a magnetic flap closure with FF hardware. Inside you’ll find a fabric lining and one zipped pocket, ideal for valuables you want to keep secure.
Q: What material is the exterior and how durable is it? A: The body is Zucchino jacquard canvas with leather trim. The canvas is robust for daily wear, while the leather trim and corners should be protected from scuffs and moisture for longevity.
Q: How should I care for Zucchino canvas and leather trim? A: For canvas, gently spot clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth; allow to air dry away from heat and direct sunlight. For leather trim, wipe with a dry, soft cloth and avoid harsh cleaners or oils. Store loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from humidity and light.
Q: What does the era “late 1990s–2000s” mean for this design? A: The Zucchino-monogram Mamma Baguette gained prominence in that period, which is why many examples on the pre‑loved market date from the early 2000s. It remains a sought‑after vintage icon today.
Q: How is authenticity assessed and what about serial numbers or holograms? A: A Retro Tale performs a rigorous multi‑point inspection of materials, stitching, hardware, brand stamps and codes. Vintage Fendi bags may feature serial numbers in different formats or locations; from around 2004 some bags included a hologram sticker, and many later models adopted RFID technology. The absence of a card does not affect authenticity when expert checks are satisfied.
Q: What is included with this listing? A: Everything included is listed in the product information section for this specific item. For this bag, the listing indicates no additional items are included.
