Description
Model History:
Launched in 1997 by Silvia Venturini Fendi, the Baguette bag has become one of the Italian fashion house’s most iconic models. Designed to be carried under the arm, like a baguette, it marked a turning point in the history of the contemporary handbag. Popularized in the 2000s thanks to pop culture and TV series, this model quickly became a symbol of status and style. Since then, it has undergone numerous re-editions, but vintage versions like this one remain the most sought-after for their authenticity and iconic character.
Exterior Details:
The white lambskin leather has a smooth finish, typical of luxury bags from the 2000s. The dark-brown, slightly satin-finished leather handle with engraved Fendi metal buckles allows for a snug shoulder carry. The flap is highlighted by a wide brown leather tab decorated with the FF silver metal clasp, a strong graphic element of the design. Reinforced corners and contrasting stitching add a discreet but neat detail. The approximate dimensions of the bag are 26 cm wide, 14 cm high and 4 cm deep.
Interior Details:
The interior is lined in robust black canvas, incorporating a zipped pocket edged in white leather. An engraved Fendi – Made in Italy – metal plate is attached below the closure, attesting to the piece’s authenticity. The main space is compact but well arranged, suitable for everyday essentials.
Product Condition:
The bag is in good overall condition for a vintage piece. The white leather shows some discreet traces of use, mainly visible on the back and bottom corners. The metal clasp shows light surface marks. The handle and seams are solid and well preserved. The interior is clean and spotless.
Care instructions:
We recommend cleaning the leather with a soft, slightly damp cloth and occasionally nourishing it with a product suitable for smooth leather. Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight or humidity. Store the bag in its original cover when not in use, to preserve its shape and color.
