Description
History of the Model: Created in 1997 by Silvia Venturini Fendi, the Baguette bag owes its name to the way it is worn, under the arm like a baguette. It was propelled to the rank of global “it bag” thanks to its appearance in the series Sex and the City, where it became the favorite accessory of Carrie Bradshaw’s character. Since then, it has been reissued in numerous variations, but the models from the first years remain the most coveted for their authenticity and their direct link with the history of contemporary fashion. Exterior Details: The Ciniglia fabric features an embossed FF monogram, with a slightly satin finish, which subtly captures the light. The edges and flap are framed in dark gray leather, creating an elegant contrast. The gold FF metal buckle, still protected by its original plastic, closes the front flap. The leather shoulder strap, secured by gold metal rings, allows for a fitted shoulder carry. The whole remains compact and structured, faithful to the spirit of the initial design. Interior Details: The interior of the bag is lined with soft gray suede, with a zipped patch pocket on the back. A gold metal plaque engraved “Fendi Baguette – Made in Italy” is affixed under the closure, ensuring the authenticity of the piece. The wide opening allows easy access to the contents despite the relatively compact size of the bag. Product Condition: The bag is new, never worn. The canvas is clean, without stains or tears, and the leather retains all its suppleness. The corners and base do not show significant marks. The gold buckle is intact, still protected, and the shoulder strap is solid, without deformation. The interior is clean, with no signs of wear. Original dustbag included. Maintenance Tips: To preserve the monogram canvas, it is recommended to avoid rubbing and prolonged exposure to direct light. Store the bag in its fabric dustbag, flat or lightly padded to maintain its original shape. Why Choose This Product: This Fendi Baguette bag is much more than an accessory: it embodies an era, a style and a revolution in the history of the handbag. This model, in its classic monogram version, combines rarity, timelessness and iconic status. Its very good conservation, with buckle still protected and original accessories, makes it a particularly wise choice for any collector or enthusiast of cult fashion pieces from the 1990s-2000s.
