So, I’ve been on this journey to recreate that iconic Fendi Brown Zucchino Mama Forever Baguette Shoulder Bag. It’s a classic, and I wanted to see if I could get it to look just like the original.
First, I spent hours online, looking at every picture of the bag I could find. I studied the different versions out there, especially the ones in black and brown—they’re the most popular. I noticed that the tobacco brown Zucca canvas is a big deal, and that adjustable chocolate shoulder strap is a must-have.
Then, I got down to actually making the bag. I chose a similar brown canvas and carefully printed the Zucchino FF logo on it. It wasn’t easy getting the print to look just right, but after a few tries, I think I nailed it. I made sure the silver-tone hardware was on point because that’s what gives the bag its signature look.
- Selected a quality brown canvas material.
- Printed the iconic Zucchino FF logo, matching the original pattern.
- Attached a single shoulder strap, adjustable just like the Fendi design.
- Added silver-tone hardware to mimic the classic Fendi aesthetic.
- Included leather trim embellishments for that luxurious touch.
- Lined the interior with a logo jacquard fabric, attention to detail and all that.
- Crafted a single interior pocket, just like the authentic bag.
I also added some leather trim and that logo jacquard lining to make it feel more luxurious. Inside, I put in a single pocket—simple, but it’s all you need. The whole process was a real labor of love, with a lot of trial and error.
The Result
After all that work, I ended up with a bag that I’m pretty proud of. It looks really close to the original Fendi, from the 2008 collection. I’ve even started using it, and honestly, it feels great to carry around something I made with my own hands. It’s not perfect, but it’s got character, and it’s definitely a conversation starter. This project taught me a lot about bag making and just how much detail goes into these designer pieces.
