Fendi - Zucca - Handbag

Model overview
• Brand: Fendi (Vintage)
• Type: Oval Camera Bag / Crossbody Bag
• Era: approx. late 1970s to early 1980s (recognizable by the FENDI S.A.S. label).
• Color: dark blue (Navy) / Charcoal with brown accents.
Material & Design
• Main material: The exterior is made of the classic Zucca Jacquard fabric (the large double-F logo). In this vintage version, the material is often very sturdy and has a lightly textured surface.
• Trim: The bag is edged with brown leather. A special detail is the striped leather section on the sides or along the edges, reminiscent of the Pequin pattern (Fendi's famous stripe pattern).
• Form: oval "pochette"-form with a flat profile, which was very typical for luxury fashion of that era.
Details & Hardware
• Closure: A gold-colored zipper on the top. The slider (Zipper Pull) is a solid metal element with the punched FF logo and the engraving "FENDI".
• Shoulder strap: A narrow, round leather strap that is threaded through side leather loops and knotted. This design often allows you to adjust the length by simply retying.
• Lining: Usually lined with smooth leather or a coated textile.
• Inside label: A leather patch embossed with “FENDI S.A.S. ROMA - MADE IN ITALY”. The “S.A.S.” is an important authenticity hallmark for bags from the brand’s pre-LVMH era.
Condition check (based on the photos)
The bag has a beautiful vintage patina. Especially the zipper pull is a sought-after detail among collectors, as this specific design is no longer produced today. The discoloration on the interior label is normal for bags of this age and often results from the natural aging of the adhesive or the leather.
