The Return of the Baguette

[spiralsnowman]

Not sure if someone has posted about this yet, but I've been hearing a lot about how Fendi is reviving the baguette style this year, and now they are doing a collection of new quilted bags in bright colors for it's 10th Anniversary

Are you guys into it? I'm thinking about getting one, but am concerned whether baguettes are "out" or old-fashioned? I really like it's classic and versatile look though, and I like the idea of pretending I'm SJP while wearing it.

From W Magazine:

"Fendi is celebrating the design's 10th anniversary, and instead of staging a retrospective the label is hoping to spark a revival... In February a collection of quilted Baguettes in 10 eye-popping colors will become available."

Well, TBH, they do look a little old-fashioned, to me. Not that that really matters, of course.

Nice collectors items, though.

Give it another 10 - 15 years and they'll probably look very modern again.

The baguette is too small for me, plus I'm not crazy about the style to start off with. I would always go with the small classic Chanel flap as my #1 choice for a small bag. However you will find enough lovers of the baguette on the forum.

personally, I'm glad to see the baguette come back since I already have one from a few years back. To me its a very simple, classic bag though it is small. I was very surprised when I first joined tpf that it was out of style.

i love the baguettes esp the embroidered, beaded, sequins ones...I became a bag lover cuz of the Fendi baguette

I like the baguette. The quilted ones have a simple elegance. As for being an old lady bag, well, I'm an old lady, so I like 'em. That never really mattered, because I'll be carrying my bags for the next 25 years! I don't have one, but the aqua looks pretty to me.

I like the "slouchy" ones - the nonstructured kind. I had one but it practically shredded and brought it back years ago. I would love it if they became popular again.

The colours are amazing! I'd love to get the hot pink one.

I'm intrigued! Accompanying article says they come in a variety of sizes, with detachable handles, small ones convertible into wristlets and larger ones into messenger bags. Hmmmm

Hi,
Let me tell you what I know ….

The Design:
The baguette bag is a classic design by fendi as you all know .. but Because of the Baguette design 50th Birthday, fendi produced for the first time the baguette bag in Large and Maxi size, the baguette bag 08 was in the runway show

Available colors:

I saw the Baguette Bag (Large) in different colors\designs... It exists in
FF (Signature print canvas) fabric with Brown leather details - perfect for anyone who likes logos
Also in vintage style plan leather with stitches details, they have a nice range of colors (brown, beige, black, orange, gray …etc) – goes well with jeans I think!
You can find a lot of fantasia (fun) designs with colorful\flowers\ beads....etc
Also you can find it in Black patent leather with golden HW


Bag size:

Most of the designs are available in small, medium, large and Maxi sizes

How to wear the Bag:

The bag comes with two straps (short and long) .. You can wear the bag as a clutch – without strap – or on the shoulder using the short strap
Or even around the neck

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

I have the large Black patent leather bag, and my friend bought the large FF logo fabric bag
They look very nice on and I like the fact that its weight-less I mean not heavy at all

I attached some pics* of the bag (*the black one is my bag, the rest I took it from NM website)

Please tell me what do you think of the bag? Also share any pictures \information you have

Thanks,

!
No one !
Nothing to say !

do u like it or not ?

do u think its a nice idea to have the baguette in large and maxi ?

 

[kiss_p]

I like the large. I've seen the maxi in pictures and for some reason, it reminds me of a pillow. Have you tried the maxi IRL? Was it as big as it seems in pictures?

Love it! Oversized bags are awesome. Btw your black one rocks! Super awesome!
