The Iconic Baguette
First introduced in 1997 by Silvia Venturini Fendi, the Baguette quickly became FENDI’s most iconic bag. Its name comes from the French word for “breadstick,” perfectly describing its elongated shape and the way it’s carried under the arm.

“It was a special day when I designed this bag; the stars aligned. The horoscope said it was a Fendi day.”
Interestingly, the Baguette’s initial success was unexpected. At a time when minimalist bags dominated, its ornate design was considered against the trend.

The bag’s popularity skyrocketed after being featured on Sex and the City, with Carrie Bradshaw famously declaring “It’s not a bag, it’s a Baguette!”
