The infamous Fendi baguette has returned. The baguette bags, first launched in 1997, were quite a phenomenon around 10-11 years ago and Fendi is paying a tribute to its 10th anniversary by relaunching them in the Spring ’08 runway. “I wanted to move forward, and I think this is the best way to celebrate a bag that really changed the course of things when minimalism and Prada’s black nylon backpacks were all the rage,” said the Baguette creator Silvia Venturini Fendi.
I personally think that the baguette bag is one of the best from Fendi. I like them better than the overrated Fendi Spy. For Spring, Fendi redesigned the baguette bag in four sizes, from small to extra large (the oversized clutch version) – many feature a detachable strap that turns them into clutches, or for the larger versions, they can be transformed into messenger bags. The Fendi baguettes come in different materials from python to patent leathers and in various forms, beaded, top stiched, embellished, sequined, embroidered, furry, monogram, or even just classically plain and simple.
In February a collection of quilted Baguettes in 10 eye-popping colors will become available. Fendi is celebrating the occasion with the “+10″, an all-white canvas bag that comes complete with 10 Pantone markers for customizing your baguette bag in your own design (to those who have kids, you can let them roam free on your baguette with their markers 
).
We will see if these baguettes would make a huge comeback. They’re maybe not for everyone’s taste but I’m sure there are still some Fendi baguette enthusiasts out there, just like myself, who are glad to see their return. I still have my beloved Mama baguette bags till today and I’m so glad that I never had a thought to let them go. The Mama Baguette, the bigger version of the small baguette, is quite roamy and light to carry around.
Remember how many baguette bags that Carrie Bradshaw carried on Sex ‘n The City? I came across to one blog which features one of her lines in the SATC episode, where Carrie was mugged in an alley and asked for her Purple Sequinned Fendi Baguette Bag. Then she said, “No, no, no sir. You don’t understand. It’s not a bag, its a Baguette!“ Maybe she would be reunited again with her baguette bags in the upcoming SATC movie! As quoted by The Bag Snob, “the shape is just so perfect, fits right under the arm and holds anything and everything you need for a proper night out or a lunch with the girls. It is one of the all time greatest bags!” I can’t agree more with that!

eh punten DYS, kirain yg nulis Hanzky, ga liat2 dulu by siapa… hihihi, punten neng.
Hhhhhhh… makin diliat makin lucu yg fuschia dan kuning. Itu very textured yah tampaknya?
haduh, lucu2 banget niy!!!!! maauuu!!!!! warna2nya striking banget!
candy!! yummm….. love the colors!
wihh lucu2 banget quilted Baguette-nya, warnanya juga fresh sekalii, me likey!
hm kira2 harganya brp an ya? hehe
gw juga suka yg oversized clutch yg warnanya pastel sembur2 itu..
Yummy colors! Love the large size ; )
waaa love the candy colours!
oversized clutch nya juga. sama yg biru-coklat bulu2 juga. sama mama yg kiri atas juga. hihihihi
loveee it DYS….
duh,mauuu….
wulce: hihi.. gpp say, kan kita sama2 nulis utk FD ini.. eke jg siy emang jarang nongol ya di forum, jd pd ga ngeh lagi hehe ;P .. bener bgt yg skrg lbh byk main textured, dan byk make kulit serta bulu2x sptnya.. dibanding edisi fendi baguette yg dulu, ada yg canvas, wool, denim *inget ga siy denim fendi baguette? klasik bangetss…
cynthia & retrojunkies: iya akhirnya setelah dua seasons lalu kita dikasi warna2x suram, akhirnya spring ini we’ll be seeing tonss of colors.. finally it’s about time
polkadot: kayaknya tas baguette yg skrg hrgnya lbh mahal drpd pas dulu pertama keluar.. kalo elo suka fendi baguette edisi lama, coba ceki2 ke blog decadestwo: http://decadestwo.blogspot.com/search?q=fendi
mereka suka jual tas2 baguette fendi yg lama, dan di ebay jg ada yg hrgnya belum menggila bgt.. murmer pula.. utk koleksi yg spring 08 ini, gw naksir bangets baguette yg warna ombre/mirip2 tie dye itu.. cuantikkkk bangetssss
bdj & indie: yupp the oversized version could be a hit.. i think we’ll be seeing oversized clutches everywhere this spring.. club monaco surprisingly already carried those humongous clutches since last fall.
lovely_alf: hihi.. im glad gw ga kepikiran utk ngelepas mama baguettes gue, hbis unik2 siy dan tas nya tuh ringan bgt ga spt tas2 bbrp tahun terakhir ini yg suka berattt banget dibawa! dan sptnya gw ga bakal sanggup beli edisi baguette terbaru jg siy ;(
yg paling bawahhh gw suka dehhh…is it The Mama Baguette, DYS?
GOSH!!! Luv those cute Baguette!!! Mba DYS, coba yah ini tas2nya bikin ngilerrrrr…
Bikin ngiler aja itu colorful baguettes.. Gue pengen yg pink fuchsia. Big clutch nya juga nice deh..
ayayyayayaya….
berarti koleksi lama boleh dikeluarin dong.. aku punya yang jeans.. dah lama buanget ga dipakai…
Jadi vintage deh sekarang…
hehehe…
tas2nya lucu.. tp bukan style gue sih, jadi gue cukup mengagumi aja deh..
cuteeeeee
lucu yah tas2nya.. tapi yang big clutch aga2 susah dipaduin dech..
mskellybag: iyaa foto yg plg bawah itu seri Mama, koleksi pribadi hehe ;P kcuali yg polcadot kiri atas, tak masukin jg skaligus ama temen2 nya..biar ga ngambek.. gw jg lbh suka Mama siy, lbh gede
sisil, kittycat78 & lilblackdress: hihi.. well sayang siy yg koleksi utk spring ini hrgnya melambung tinggi eke jg ga mampu beli, drpd yg pas pertama keluar.. masi terjangkau ;(
amelia: iyaa dikeluarin aja.. personally, gw juga lbh suka koleksi2 baguette yg dulu, lbh unik.. wah yg denim baguette a true classic tuh, adik gw dulu punya jg tp sayang uda dilepas ;(
yustin: iya siy tas2 skrg uda jarang yg rame kaya si baguette, dan sptnya ga semua bakal antusias dgn baliknya model baguette yg terkenal penuh dgn detail2 etc..
Baglady: iya yg oversize rada2 raksasa jg yah.. kalo tinggi menjulang kali seimbang dgn badan, tp kalo pendek bisa2 tas nya jd main focus dan kita jd tenggelam hehe
suka yang oversized coklat pojokan itu… semua mua muat hehe
Luv all the bags
gambar paling bawah.my fav pink’s so sweeeeeeet
i’d kill for these!!! FENDI BAGUETTE is NOT a trend, it’s an INGENIOUS invention derived fom a mind of a gifted being that’ll alter humankind civilization for history
Fendi is a master of clutches! Tell me Im wrong but you will look incredible sexy with those bags! Its unbelievable how good appearance can arouse such emotions in me
