The Fendi Baguette

I am somewhat (majorly) obsessing over the
iconic Fendi Baguette these days.

The Fendi Baguette handbag is a petite, simple design
meant to be casually tucked under your arm 
like, well, a baguette.

Except I never tuck baguettes under my arm, but go figure.

This is a handbag for the lady who sees a handbag as a work of art.
Each bag requires a long production time, and is exclusively handmade.

Initially launched in 1997, the baguette has made a huge resurgence
in recent years. To the extent that there is even a book about them.


These bags are incredibly special, and come in many colors and fabrics,  pythons, leathers - you name it.

The beaded Fendi's are super special. 
They only make one or two designs in a year,
and are very labor intensive, making them a collectors item.
