Foley + Corinna gives the baguette a cool casual makeover with this Bridle bag.
Fendi popularized the style with its high-class small structured purses. This is a very different beast; the essence is still there but it’s been reinterpreted with a more relaxed touch. Fashion purists may disagree, but personally I appreciate this reinvention which makes the style much more versatile.
The soft pebbled leather slouches in all the right places, giving the style an everyday sophistication. Stirrup like hardware and belting gives the bag an equestrian feel, not in a buttoned up polo club kind of way but a much more organic sense.
The Bridle isn’t enormous but it’s much larger than the average baguette. The main compartment is lined with durable plainweave fabric and finished off with a secure zip. We’ll make good use of the storage space on offer, particularly when we attach the shoulder strap. We can carry it clutch-style if we prefer, but I think it’s much more practical this way.
At $345 the price of this Bridle is just right. It’s hardly a bargain, but it’s also reasonable for such a versatile purse made from such high quality materials.
