2007 Fendi Mini Mamma FF Motif Baguette Bag
Fendi’s Baguette bag was launched in 1997. Silvia Venturini Fendi, granddaughter of the brand’s founders, designed it. Inspired by the ease with which Parisian women carried their loaves of French bread under their arms, she wanted it to fit as comfortably. The Baguette has evolved over the years, with Fendi bringing out over 1000 variations over the past three decades. This edition was launched in 2007, a Mini version of the label’s popular Mamma bag - updated from the original rectangular shape, the Mamma was now a triangular at each end which allowed for more storage. It showcases Fendi’s instantly identifiable “FF” monogram all-over, trimmed with a limited edition black felt along the seams and at the corners. The iconic logo clasp is gold-toned and set on a black leather rectangle. These sit atop the flap, which is secured underneath with a strong, magnetic snap closure, debossed with the brand name. The black leather strap is adjustable through two gold-tone metal buckles, again, both are debossed with the brand name. Inside, the bag is lined with chocolate brown cotton woven with “FENDI”. There is a single slip pocket - the perfect size to fit a credit card - which features a leather patch with a gold plaque that reads “FENDI” and “Made in Italy” alongside the double-F logo. There is also a care label with a hologram that proves this piece’s authenticity. This bag comes with the original dust bag and card.
This bag is in excellent vintage condition. There is no wear to the black leather. There is no wear to the gold externally and some minor rubbing around the magnetic buckle under the flap. There is a very small amount of wear to the felt, particularly at the edges. Internally, the bag is in pristine condition.

We also have an extensive offline collection. If you let us know your size, style, favourite colour to wear and perhaps your budget, we can browse through our archive in advance of your appointment.
Do I need to bring anything with me?
Clients may wish to bring modern shapewear when trying on garments from certain eras, especially the 1950s. Vintage clothing was often worn with undergarments that shaped the waist and as such is tailored for them.

You may also wish to bring your favourite footwear. We often find a classic pair of nude shoes work well when trying on, or a pair in gold or silver.
