So, I’ve been on this hunt, right? Trying to snag a Fendi 2002 FF Zucca Oyster Bag, the vintage kind. They don’t make ’em like they used to, you know? I started by hitting up all the usual online spots. You know, typing in “vintage Fendi Zucca bag” and seeing what pops up.
I saw a bunch of options, some were kinda beat up, some were way overpriced. Then I dug a little deeper. Looked specifically for that 2002 collection, because that’s the year they made this particular style. Found some descriptions mentioning the “Oyster” or “Ostrik” name. That helped narrow it down.
I’m looking for this specific bag that is brown, with a canvas body. Printed with that classic FF Zucca logo that everyone loves. And it’s gotta have that dark brown leather trim, with the gunmetal grey hardware. Not just any old Fendi, this is the one I want.
It was so cool! I found an example of the fall 2002 Fendi Oyster bag. This is the bag I want, so I started searching for it with more confidence.
I learned that the measurements are supposed to be around 12 x 10 x 2.5 inches, with a 10-inch strap drop. Good to know, so I don’t end up with some tiny little thing. Plus, it should be a shoulder bag with a single adjustable strap.
I finally found one! It looked to be in decent shape, and the price, while not cheap, wasn’t totally insane, either. I compared it to a few others I’d seen, checked the seller’s ratings, and the way they described it made me think they knew what they were talking about.
I pulled the trigger and bought it. Now I’m just waiting for it to arrive. Fingers crossed it’s as good in person as it looked in the pictures. It is hard to buy it, I felt so good when I finally made my purchase!
Will definitely update once I get my hands on it. Gotta make sure it’s the real deal, and not some knock-off. Wish me luck!
