Vintage Fendi Pequin Stripe Cardholder Late 1980s–1990s Black

A field of sharply defined black and tobacco stripes frames the front snap tab, where a round embossed 'FENDI ROMA ITALY' logo sits against smooth black leather. The Pequin canvas—Fendi’s alternate house motif to Zucca—wraps the outer panels, lending texture and subtle sheen, equally at home on any wardrobe.

Inside, black fabric lining reveals four card slots and a slip pocket, finished with clean stitching and a gold-tone snap button closure hidden beneath a leather-covered tab. Minor surface scuffs are visible on the exterior, but the structure remains crisp. The original Fendi dust bag accompanies the piece.

The Pequin stripe first appeared in the 1980s as a graphic alternative to Fendi’s double-F, and this cardholder lands squarely in that era—c. late 1980s–1990s—evidenced by the striped canvas, roundel logo snap, and absence of a serial number. Made under Karl Lagerfeld’s long creative direction, it channels the Roman taste for bold pattern and precise construction.
