First Vintage Bag : Fendi Zucca Purse
My first ever vintage designer bag was a Fendi Zucca bag that I got from a private seller. It was so cheap (and I did my research to make sure that it was not a fake) and it is still in good condition (although a bag spa would liven it up a bit). It didn't come with its original dust bag or box as most of vintage items do, so that's part of the reason why it's so cheap. I also think that the seller doesn't really know or care about designer bags so she had no clue that her bag could actually worth more (psstt, don't tell her, LOL).
Anyway, this was my first ever vintage item and I got it for $30 - which I considered cheap compared to other vintage Fendi items. The condition wasn't excellent but it was pretty good with no scratch or scuffs. The leather handle was still in good condition, the canvas was still very good albeit a little dirty, and the hardware were still looking nice although it has lost its shine (but a bag spa could easily bring some shine and life to the bag!). So I snagged it right away because I thought it was an offer I couldn't resist.
Usually I would only go for preloved bags that comes with its original dustbag / box / certificate to make sure it's authentic and to retain its value when I decided to re-sell it again in the future. But for vintage items I understand that most of them don't come with original dustbag or boxes so as long as they are authentic and in overall good condition I'd take it ! (*wink*).
After a further research I think this bag was from circa the 80's. And I'm glad I got this one before it got popular again, so I was able to get it at an unbeatable price. Nowadays ever since Fendi logo bags have risen up again in the fashion world the price of a vintage one is about 8-10 times the price I paid for my bag! So I was very lucky (again) I guess... I just can't believe my luck. And I'm so thankful because of that.
Back to this bag's story, when I first got it I didn’t really wear it as much as I want to. The size wasn’t big enough for me to carry my usual stuffs so it just wasn’t practical for me as a daily bag. It also has a dainty little shoulder bag shape (which I think is a little bit outdated at the time) so maybe that's why I didn't really wear it that much.
So I only wore it to wedding parties or to small events where I don’t have to bring a lot of stuffs with me. Plus I was also a little bit shy wearing designer logos back then, so that’s why I didn’t get to wear it that often.

But now this bag has slowly getting its way back into my daily wardrobe. Nowadays I prefer to bring less items, so I tend to wear smaller bags these days. And I’m a bit more comfortable wearing logos now because it’s actually "on trend". And Fendi logo bags and accessories were also in a "hype" right now because lots of celebrities wore them now, especially by rappers and kylie jenner and the likes. So yay for scoring this Fendi bag waysss earlier :))
Can't wait to style this purse with my other outfit.
Hoping for a much more wear to this cute little classic bag now that it's on-trend ;)
