Baguette

Bags

Good for 400 pages
It is truly an achievement: more than four hundred pages devoted to one bag model. This makes the Baguette, designed by fashion house Fendi in 1998, already a classic. This cylindrical ladies bag with a short shoulder strap is clamped under the arm like a baguette. For major fashion brands, it is now of global importance that celebrities walk with their bag, so that it becomes an it-bag: a bag with status and prestige that everyone immediately wants. In the book, which was published in honor of the 15th anniversary of the Baguette, the bag has a different face on every page: made of wool, snakeskin, fur, lace and decorated with sequins, embroidered flowers, beads or studs.
