The madness keeps going, and there is no end in sight. Are you sick of me yet? Frankly, I don't care, because I am excited and on a roll and you will have to bear with me for the rest of the weekend. Because it's Fendi Weekend and we have some exclusive pictures to share.

Despite of the poor picture quality, you can still grasp the beauty of this Fendi Gold/Silver Spy with ease. I know many of our readers are suckers for shiny bags, and there is nothing wrong with it. Actually, Fendi made this lamb leather gold/silver mix for those who didn't get the chance to purchase a golden python spy earlier. I dare to say, it's a fair compromise.

Hell no! we are not sick of you! I can't seem to get enough of the Spy bag. Anything Fendi Spy! But I have been biting my nails since you posted all these new Fandi Spy because I want one of those!! These Spy bag are contagious!! Love love love them!!!

. Do you have the price info on these gold and silver? And when are these spy be available?

This limited edition Fendi Matisse Spy is new for S/S 06. Personally, I never had much of a special regard for arts. But when it came down to it, I've always had favorites that I loved to look at. Monet, Picasso and Matisse always managed to impress me the most. I truely believe that Henry would have loved to see his impressionistic works on these exclusive bags; I think the Spy looks gorgeous in this version. A wonderful symbiosis of fashion and art, like I haven't seen it in a while. Each piece is hand painted, which makes each bag in the limited series completely unique.

I am unsure about the pricing and the availability - I will inquire myself and see what numbers I can come up with.

Sometimes I wonder where the high-end fashion designers take their inspirations from. For this Fendi "Tokyo Squirrel" Crystal and Embroidery on Denim Spy, it is quite obvious where the idea for this version came from. It makes me chuckle to imagine a designer strolling through a park in suburban Tokyo, seeing two squirrels doing their thing and turning it into a limited edition handbag. Whatever works, I guess. This doesn't rank among my favorites, but I still wanted to give it an honorable mention, since it's Fendi Weekend and all...

To wrap things up for today, I've saved the best for last. For the past months, there's been a huge fuzz about the Fendi Wisteria Spy. Finding a Wisteria Spy seemed like hopelessly chasing a phantom. I would like to share why this was the case.

The Wisteria represent the ultimate peak of exclusivity. It is that rare that even the Fendi SA in Hawaii didn't really know what to do when he was inquired about it. The Fendi corporate office finally managed to dispatch a picture of the Erlkönig itself. This bag takes at least 30 days to manufacture. Relatively speaking, that is more than a Maybach takes to produce. The reserve list for this bag is only 3 in the whole U.S. Only 25 to 30 bags of this kind will ever see the light of the day, ever. The U.S. headquarters agreed to purchase only 10 bags total, for only those customers who reserve them.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but you won't have one. As much as you hope and wish, beg and sob, you will never own one. Not even remotely. I wish I could put it any nicer, but I can't.

Now I will just have to deal with my woman bothering me for the rest of the year about why she can't have one. Life is really tough sometimes.

I'm not a fan of the spy, but the last pic posted is really a great-looking bag!

edsbgrl · Jan 22nd, 2006, 12:34 PM

My faves are the Tokoyo Squirrel and the Wisteria. I like this Wisteria better than any others I've seen.

CeeJay · Jan 22nd, 2006, 12:43 PM

Hmmmm ... was kind of leaning towards not liking the current season's "crop" of Spy Bags, but I must say ... the Gold/Silver one is calling my name!

Nice ...

Zippy · Jan 22nd, 2006, 01:05 PM

The rest of the line are not particularly attractive to me in spite of their exclusivity.

wellow · Jan 22nd, 2006, 02:05 PM

Isn't the wisteria spy the one with the flowers? It's in the latest dior ad and style.com... I'm confused now.

scarlett_2005 · Jan 22nd, 2006, 03:25 PM

I am totally in love with the Tokyo Squirrel.

Mariah · Jan 22nd, 2006, 03:47 PM

Issmom · Jan 22nd, 2006, 05:41 PM

I love the detail work on the Spy I just don't like the Spy! I wish Fendi would put some of this effort into another bag....
