Sometimes I feel like Fendi isn’t trying anymore. Looking at the brand’s Forever Boston bag is one of those times.
It seems the label thinks it can deliver a stock standard Boston bag, slap its signature print on it, and charge like a wounded bull. And I guess since there’s just one left on Amazon, perhaps the brand still can. It’s a shame, because I think fashion fans deserve better.
It’s not that the Forever Boston bag is bad per se. I’m not a fan of the blatant advertising of signature prints, but this subtle gray and white look is more palatable than most. The image of Fendi’s Palazzo flagship store almost gets lost in these pastel shades, ensuring things never get too busy. The design also does the job, classicly cool with its gently curved shape and rolled handles.
I can’t fault the features either. There’s ample space for daytime must-haves, and the zip top closure inspires confidence. The lining is much lovelier than most with its fine textile weave, and the padlock gives extra peace of mind.
But there’s just nothing to woo me here. Fendi is supposed to be one of the leading fashion houses in the world, so why aren’t they trying to seduce me? If they continue to create lackluster purses like this, they may just lose their crown.
