Hello Darling,
today we would like to share with you some interesting facts about one of the most iconic bag of all the times: The Fendi Baguette!
This bag was launched 27 years ago, when Silvia Venturini Fendi, inspired by Parisian women who carried baguettes under their arms, created a comfortable bag to be worn easily like a loaf of bread.
The design is practical indeed and the standard Baguette measures 26 x 14 centimeters. It is longer than it is tall so it’s perfect to be carried under the arm.
Over time, it has evolved into different sizes – mini, small, medium, and large - and many variations in canvas, leather, raffia, sequins, and more fabrics. Countless colors and multicolored patterns have been added to the collection year after year.
“It’s not a bag, it’s a Baguette” Carrie Bradshaw
the real moment of glory of this bag came thanks to "Sex And the City" and its protagonist, indeed Carrie appeared multiple times in the series wearing the baguette and made it a must-have accessory.
The baguette was a bag that really represented Carrie's style, in fact even in the sequel of the serie "...And Just like that" it is proposed again as a distinctive accessory of the main character.
“It was a special day when I designed this bag; the stars aligned. The horoscope said it was a Fendi day”, Silvia Venturini Fendi said in a press release announcing the latest batch of 25 re-editioned baguettes launched in November 2022 to celebrate the bag’s 25th anniversary.
