Inspired by chic Parisian women who tucked their baguettes under their arms, Silvia Venturini Fendi created the iconic Fendi Baguette bag. She envisioned a bag designed to be carried in the same way: sleek, casual, and effortless.

 

The Evolution of the Fendi Baguette

The original Baguette measured 26 x 14 centimetres. This made it compact and practical, ideal for tucking under the arm just like a fresh baguette. Over time, the bag’s popularity led to the development of new versions in various sizes. There was the miniature Pico as well as a spacious, larger version. There are now thousands of variations featuring leather, raffia, sequins, canvas, and even fur. Each one puts its spin on the original silhouette.

 

Pop Culture and The Fendi Baguette

Since its 1997 debut, the Baguette has become much more than just a handbag; it’s a pop culture icon. It was immortalised in the hit show 'Sex and the City', when Carrie Bradshaw famously declared, “It’s not a bag, it’s a Baguette!”

 

The Fendi Baguette: A Fashion Staple

Its continued reinvention across seasons and collaborations with different artists and designers keeps the Baguette fresh and exciting. With every new iteration, Fendi ensures that the bag remains a timeless staple in the wardrobes of fashion-forward individuals. The Baguette proves that true style is both enduring and adaptable, staying at the forefront of luxury accessories.
