First off, the Baguette. Seriously, this thing is a legend. Silvia Venturini Fendi, total genius, basically designed it to be *the* bag, and she nailed it. Apparently, they’re always coming out with new colors and stuff, which is cool, I guess, but I kinda prefer the classics. A girl can’t go wrong with a simple black Baguette, am I right? It’s, like, timeless. I read somewhere that they use “top-notch materials”. I mean, duh, it’s Fendi! What else would they use, plastic from the dollar store? (Okay, that was a joke, don’t @ me).
And speaking of materials, that’s gotta be part of the reason they’re so pricey, right? Like, think about it… the stitching, the leather, the hardware… it all *feels* expensive. But honestly, sometimes I wonder if I’m paying more for the name than the actual quality. (Don’t tell Fendi I said that!).
Then there’s the whole “investment piece” angle. I saw something about resale experts saying certain Fendi styles are “smart buys” now and in the long run. Like, they’re predicting which bags will hold their value or even *increase* in value. That’s kinda wild, right? Imagine buying a bag and actually making money off it later. I mean, I usually just end up spilling coffee on mine.
Oh! And the Origami bags! Those are kinda cool, I saw something about those too. I haven’t personally handled one but I can see that you can fold them? That’s a neat concept!
They also have bucket bags, the “Mon Tresor” specifically. I actually always thought these were cute. Perfect size for everyday stuff but still stylish. It’s that perfect balance, you know? Not too big, not too small. Just… *right*.
And the shoulder bags! Oh my god, the shoulder bags! They have the “Fendi First” and “Fendigraphy,” which, okay, I’m not even gonna pretend I understand the names, but they look amazing. And the FF embroidery? Come on! That’s just *chef’s kiss*.
But here’s the thing: I’m a little conflicted. Like, I *love* Fendi, I really do. But can I afford it? Usually, no. And sometimes, I wonder if I’m just falling for the hype. Is it *really* worth it to drop a few grand on a handbag?
