80s Fendi mini Boston Bag: Black/Grey Pequin striped coated canvas, Black snake stamped leather and Gold tone accents. IOB

Fendi’s classic Boston Bag made in their iconic Pequin stripe shrunk to fit the mini Boston beautifuly! IOB. The perfect size for day or night!
Luxury goods aren’t often associated with durability but the tonal black & grey Pequin strip is printed on a heavily coated canvas and affixed with five gold finish metalware feet making the Mini Boston, just that. Included with the bag is it’s flannel logo’d drawstring dust bag. This bag was made for and sold exclusively in Nieman Marcus department stores as indicated by the bags identification. Located inside the bag above it’s pocket is the Fendi gold finish metalware bar label affixed to a stamped leather Nieman Marcus Exclusive label. Purchased by a friends mother in the late `80’s, this bag has had only one owner & stored in Fendi’s flannel drawstring dust bag. I can guarantee its authenticity. All logo’d hardware and labeling are intact and correct are the stitching & fabrication.

The bag is generously sized for a mini and with the hinged opening, all your treasures are easily accessed. One 7” flat welt zippered pocket lay inside just under the bags inside labeling. Zip closure at both opening and pocket keep your items extra secure. Zipper closures are tonal with gold finish Logo’d metalware pulls. The underside of the top zipper is even logo’d! More gold finish logo’d metalware is found affixing the bags handles and feet protecting the bottom of the bag. Handles and piping are made from fine snake skin stamped leather; center folded and stitched for strength. Handles are fastened to the body by double layer matching leather patches stitched directly on the bag. Two hoops are fastened to opposite handles to use a longer strap (not included). The bag can be carried by hand, or worn either on the shoulder or cross-body thanks to the soft, black stamped leather handle and detachable shoulder strap (not included). 5 gold finish metalware feet are attached to the bottom - one at each corner and one at center to preserve the bag from sitting directly on the ground.
A stylish, durable, and all purpose bag that works both day and night! Made in Italy.
