IT BAG #4 THE BAGUETTE DE FENDI

A LOAF OF BREAD YOU CAN'T EAT

Shaped after a baguette (loaf of French bread), the Baguette is famed to be the bag that started the It bag craze. Major credits to uber fashionista Sarah Jessica Parker and the SATC crew. 



1,000+ VARIATIONS

The Baguette is arguably the It bag with the highest number of variations. The Baguette has seen 1,000+ variations in unexpected materials and colors since its debut and each one is a work of art.



DIY BAGUETTES

It is therefore no surprise that Fendi let you create your own Baguette. To commemorate the Baguette's 15th anniversary in 2012, you could purchase a nifty needlepoint kit on Fendi's site and via the likes of Neiman Marcus to create your own piece. Fendi still offers you a chance to deploy its online app and craft your own eccentric piece of couture.



A BOOK ABOUT A BAG

To top it off, did you know there’s even a book about the bag? Fendi launched a book to commemorate 15 years of the Baguette that features the top 250 styles in color photographs. In Fendi's words "a story of craftsmanship, artisanship, connoisseurship, and design" featuring collaborations from artists such as Damien Hirst, Richard Prince, and Jeff Koons.
