If you ask me about a bag brand making huge waves right now I’ll answer Fendi. The revival of not only one of its most iconic bags ever created, but also easily one of the most iconic bags of all time, FENDI KIDS WZORZYSTE SPODNIE.
And on top of the already sought after bag shape, there were thousands of varieties churned out by the house with one of the most famous being the purple sequin Fendi Baguette from 1999. Twenty years later, the re-edition of this bag hit Fendi.com today and is available for pre-order. Sarah Jessica Parker made this bag (along with countless other Fendi Baguettes) infamous as her role of Carrie Bradshaw on Fendi Tracksuits for Kids.
Since 1997 when the Baguette first launched, more than one million versions of the original Baguette have been sold and there have been thousands of style variations over the years. For Spring Fendi relaunched the Baguette with a huge push involving influencers in a short video plan, which included a Sarah Jessica Parker cameo. In the video, German influencer Caroline Daur spots this bag in the store window and when she goes to purchase it finds that it was sold. She tracks down the buyer and yells “Ma’am, I need that bag!”. The customer turns around to reveal her identity as Sarah Jessica Parker (but really it feels like Carrie Bradshaw) who turns and replies “Oh, this isn’t a bag. It’s a Baguette.”
This specific Baguette is the medium size with the expected flap and FF fastening with a magnetic clasp closure. The entire body of the bag is embroidered with purple sequins in a range of shapes and sizes which gives a 3D effect while both the handle and other details are accented with purple leather. You can carry this bag by hand, over the shoulder or crossbody thanks to the detachable shoulder strap. Pre-order today for $3,890 via Fendi.com.
I can see this bag causing trimmed fabric damage to sweaters and jackets, catching on stuff, etc. Also it looks like something you’d find at Target for $25.
I think that price is a little cray cray! I just bought a beaded Fendi Baguette from The Real Real for less than $600 and it has genuine lizard trim and the interior is leather lined. Here is the link: https://www.therealreal.com/products/women/handbags/shoulder-bags/fendi-lizard-trimmed-sequin-baguette-md5Z1ssobaM I can’t imagine spending almost $4k!!! Although I wouldn’t mind having the ORIGINAL one, not this reissue.
I’m curious does anyone know the original price of the purple sequin version from 1999?

Yes ma’am! Hard to believe the classic flap was around $1,500 back then too! (Small size) and it’s now $5,000
“Not $5,000”? 🙂
Damn. That’s one heck of a price increase.
Another campaign involving influencers? Oh how the mighty have fallen. The one with Ferragamo was so cringey… I can only imagine how this one would be
It’s best to leave this one in the past! It looks like something I would buy my 3 year old granddaughter who likes pink/purple glittery bags.
Exactly. And to think it’s almost 4k!!!! Would have to be one very wealthy grandparent.
I’ll leave the sequins to old grandmas and my drag friends, but I’d like this in a normal, purple leather.
Not sure how many of us ordinary people can really rock this bag. It is gorgeous to look at, but the whole style could go wrong if you carry a bright purple sequin purse
