Selleria is the quiet flex in the Fendi catalogue. It's the house's saddlery line — leather worked and hand-stitched the way Roman harness-makers did it, with the stitches left visible on the outside because they're the point. Each one is numbered. The plaques are actual sterling silver, marked and hallmarked, which is not a thing most luxury houses bother with.
This is the Mini Linda, and the scale is what makes it. The buckle across the front is there for the look — a snap underneath does the actual work, so you open it one-handed. Nine inches across, crisply structured, standing up on its own four feet, in a metallic pewter that shifts warm or cool depending on what you're standing under. It goes from a work day to a dinner without a thought, which is more than most small bags manage.
Two notes for the curious: the 1925 on the interior plaque is Fendi's founding year, not a date of manufacture — it's a house mark that appears across the Selleria line. And the Serie numerata engraving is the numbered-series designation, unique to this bag.
It comes with its Fendi Selleria dust bag, which carries a sterling Selleria plaque of its own — a small detail, and the kind of thing that tends to go missing first.

Very Good Condition. Structure is crisp with no slumping; the bag stands on its own. Leather is supple with no cracking, and the hand-stitching is intact throughout with no loose or broken threads. There is one small area on the back that looks a little lighter in color - circled in red in last photo. Interior sterling plaque shows fine surface scratching. Normal for sterling, which is a soft metal. Shown in photos. Leather hangtag shows creasing and softening from handling. Light rubbing along the darker edge piping at the corners and seams. Metallic beige/gray finish is intact across the body and at all four corners, with no rub-through. Base and feet show light contact marks, no wear-through. Tan linen lining is in good shape. Shade varies slightly across the panels, which is natural to linen and not staining. Dust bag has several small stains.
