Handbags

This is an iconic and historic bag because a Fendi bag with an internal metal plate that reads “Fendi S.A.S.” indicates an authentic vintage piece produced around the late 70s and early 80s. The wording on this plate, accompanied by the registered trademark symbol ®, is typical of bags made before Fendi adopted modern serial numbers, so bags with the Fendi SAS plate do not have an alphanumeric serial number inside, as these were only systematically introduced from the 90s onwards. Bags from this period are distinguished because the plate is carefully attached and generally has a capsule shape, the two Fs of the logo must never touch, and the black leather used for these vintage models is renowned for its high quality and durability over time. In fact, despite this bag's age (half a century), which makes it a rare and precious object, it does not show its age at all, as can be seen from the photos and even more so in person. Moreover, experts say that the leather of these Fendi bags should be soft but not perfect in texture, as is generally the case with an inauthentic bag. The bag has two compartments in addition to a pocket inside one of the two spaces that closes with a zipper, which has a charm with the writing Fendi Roma Italy 1925 and then in the center the two Fs that do not touch. Also, the fact that the founding year of the fashion house, 1925, is written makes it a vintage collector's item. In short, you are not buying a normal Fendi bag but a rare and highly valuable bag that many often look for but do not find. This bag, instead of having the two Fs on the front, has the brand engraved under the closure directly on the black leather with the full writing Roma Italy 1925, and this reference to the brand expressed in this way makes it even more elegant. Bags with the Fendi SAS logo are highly sought after by collectors, especially if the leather is well-maintained and does not have deep scratches or wear at the corners because, being rare, their value tends to increase over time; this is what the parent company, as well as auction houses and collectors, claim.
