Fendi is making me feel a little out of touch with reality right now. Because I know for sure that I fell asleep in a world that had sensible rules like gravity, and woke up to a world in which it is okay to cover a purse in what appears to be my sticker collection from the fourth grade and slap a $4,100 price tag on it.
I know, it’s Fendi, it’s supposed to be a little over-the-top flashy, but seriously, I can’t help but think that this is just too much. I think it’s really fantastic that the combination of metallic pastel leather and reptile stamping creates a fabric that looks holographic, but I don’t really want it to be part of my accessories collection. At any price.
And if the totally bizarre material wasn’t enough to do it, the stitching surely takes this bag over the edge. And if the stitching doesn’t do it, then what about the red contrast stitch closure? It looks like they sewed it up with cinnamon dental floss, and I, for one, find this completely unacceptable. (Not all the time, on something edgy it might make sense, but on this?)
The truth of the matter is that the Fendi baguette is iconic all on its own, and it really doesn’t need to be over-embellished to make a statement. Period.
