Baguette (bag)

Fendi Baguette, designed 1997, peak around 2000 Silvia Venturini Fendi designed a small bag to be tucked under the arm like a loaf, and Sex and the City made it a punchline when Carrie corrects a mugger: it is a Baguette, not a bag. Fendi reissued it in 2019, and this is one revival that genuinely flatters, because the short strap and compact shape work with anything from jeans to a slip dress. Original late-1990s beaded and sequined versions are the collector pieces; plain leather ones are the easier everyday buy.
