Vintage Fendi Janus Medallion Tote Bag. This authentic vintage Fendi shoulder tote is an incredibly rare collector's piece from the iconic Janus Collection designed by Karl Lagerfeld. It showcases Fendi’s historical Roman roots through a central centerpiece emblem and its classic tone-on-tone textures. Product Overview: Brand: Fendi (Inner plaque marked "FENDI s.a.s. Roma Made in Italy"). Era: 1980s (The "s.a.s." designation was used by the fashion house prior to their transition in style markings during the early 1990s). Collection: Janus Head Collection. Design Detail: Features the rare, dual-profile Janus medallion on the front facade (representing the Roman God of beginnings, transitions, and time—historically used by Lagerfeld to mirror the duality of the interlocking FF logo). Exterior Material: Matte black, ribbed structural nylon canvas in a vertical tone-on-tone striped shadow pattern, accented by textured terracotta-tan genuine leather handles and trim. Interior Lining: Smooth, high-grade terracotta leather upper frame lining with a clean, dark navy/black coated composite main lining. Key Features & Hardware: Emblem: Central bezel-set terracotta glass/resin Janus Roman coin cameo centerpiece. Stamps & Markings: Gilded vintage FENDI s.a.s. inner leather plaque. High-shine magnetic snap closures stamped with FENDI. Circular gold-tone metallic zipper pull engraved with "FENDI ROMA ITALY 1925" wrapping around the signature FF logo crest. Layout: Dual open side compartments secured by magnetic snaps flanking a heavy-duty, zipper-enclosed central compartment for maximum organization. Includes an additional interior sidewall zipper pocket. Measurements (Approximate): Width: 29 cm, Height: 25.5 cm, Depth / Base: 9 cm, Strap Drop: 34 cm — designed to sit comfortably under the arm. Condition: Excellent vintage condition. See photos. Interior: Very clean. Leather trim pieces are vibrant with excellent stitching alignment. Hardware: Magnets and zippers are fully functional. Mild micro-scratches are visible on the metal surfaces commensurate with age.
