Perfect for cocktails or an elegant dinner, this vintage Fendi mini in red leather with gold-tone hardware adds a refined pop of colour. Carry it by the single top handle; the turn-lock and compact silhouette bring polished charm to evening or smart occasions.
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 this Fendi Mini Handbag? A: Based on its dimensions (approx. 20 × 12 × 11 cm), it comfortably holds most smartphones, a small wallet or card holder, keys, and a couple of small cosmetics such as lip balm and compact mirror. Sunglasses in a soft case may fit; larger long wallets or bulky items are unlikely to fit together. For best results, compare your essentials to the measurements provided on this page.
Q: Can it fit a large smartphone? A: Yes, most phones up to around 16 cm in length fit when placed horizontally. If your handset is larger or in a thick case, we recommend measuring it against the interior space and the opening to ensure a smooth fit.
Q: Does this item include a shoulder strap or other extras? A: This piece is designed for hand or crook‑of‑arm carry with a single flat top handle. It is sold as shown. Everything included is listed under the product information section; if an item isn’t listed there, it is not included.
Q: Is the turn‑lock closure secure for daily use? A: The turn‑lock closure is designed to keep the main compartment securely shut during everyday use. As with all structured mini bags, avoid overfilling, and ensure the lock is fully engaged before carrying.
Q: How should I care for the red leather? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after use. Keep away from moisture, oils, heat, and prolonged direct sunlight. Avoid harsh cleaners or alcohol‑based products; use leather‑specific care sparingly and test on a discreet area first. Store stuffed lightly in a breathable dust bag, away from humidity and light.
Q: Could the red colour transfer onto clothing (or pick up dye from fabrics)? A: Dyed leathers can transfer under friction or moisture, and light‑coloured leathers can pick up dye from dark denim or unwashed fabrics. Minimise risk by avoiding prolonged contact with new dark textiles, keeping the bag dry, and storing separately. If minor transfer occurs, do not scrub; blot gently and seek professional advice if needed.
Q: Is this bag water‑resistant? A: No—like most luxury leather pieces, it isn’t designed for heavy rain. If it becomes damp, blot immediately with a soft cloth and allow it to air dry away from heat sources. Do not use hairdryers or radiators.
Q: How is authenticity ensured, and should I expect a serial number or label inside? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes multi‑point authentication of materials, stitching, hardware and stamps. Fendi identification details vary by era: many vintage pieces have alphanumeric serials on or behind an interior tag; mid‑2000s styles often include a hologram label; later models may use updated labels or embedded RFID. The presence and format of codes can differ by model and year, so we assess the whole item rather than one feature.
Q: What does “Very Good” condition mean for this piece? A: This item shows light signs of use consistent with Very Good condition: minor marks on the leather and base, slight deterioration to edge glue, clean interior with light use, and shiny hardware with light scratches. Please review the photos and product information for full details.
Q: How should I store the bag when not in use? A: Empty the bag, close the lock, and stuff it lightly with acid‑free tissue to support its shape. Store in a breathable dust bag in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight and humidity. Avoid hanging by the handle for long periods, and keep the bag separate from dark or untreated fabrics to reduce colour transfer risks.
