Fendi Zucchino Shoulder Bag

Q: What is the Fendi Zucchino pattern?

Q: Is a serial number listed for this piece?
A: No serial number is noted in the product information for this item. On vintage Fendi bags, internal codes can appear in different places and are not always straightforward to interpret, so authentication should rely on the overall construction and details rather than a code alone.

Q: How do you authenticate vintage Fendi bags?
