Fendi is celebrating the 15th birthday of its iconic baguette bag by reissuing six of its most popular design.
Admittedly some of these styles have aged better than the others. The denim version with its embroidered flowers is looking particularly tired, but I love the pop of the citrus yellow version. And with fashion from the past continuously cycling back into vogue, perhaps an investment in retro designs is smart for our fashion future!
“In this time of a quick-changing, fast-paced world, it is important to remain close to one’s roots and values. The Baguette represents the perfect expression of this and of Fendi’s DNA,” Pietro Beccari, the brand’s CEO told of the plans.
With this latest announcement it seems everything old really is new again. After all, it comes hot on the heels of Prada revealing it would also re-release several favorite bags from its vault.
To complement the reissued baguette purses, which are scheduled to hit shelves next month, Rizzoli will also publish an illustrated coffee table book paying tribute to the purse that gave rise to the It bag concept.
Can you believe it’s been 15 years since Fendi’s baguettes first hit our shelves? Will you snap up one of the reissued baguettes, or the coffee table tome, to celebrate the milestone?
