Following the micro bag trend, the FENDI By The Way Boston Bag introduces a new Mini size for Fall/Winter 2022. This compact design features tortoiseshell-effect acrylic handles, FF embossed metal hardware, and the iconic FENDI ROMA logo. The detachable strap allows for both handheld and crossbody styling, while the mint green hue adds a fresh, playful touch.
· Design Inspiration ·
The FENDI By The Way Bag debuted in the Fall 2014 collection, featuring a casual yet sophisticated Boston bag silhouette. The name reflects the brand’s playful spirit, suggesting an “by the way” casual elegance. Beyond its timeless design, practical features like lightweight construction, spacious interior, and easy-access top opening have made this bag a commuter favorite for 8 years and counting.
The new Mini size measures just 20.5×12×9cm, replacing leather handles with rigid acrylic for a more contemporary architectural silhouette.
· Acrylic Handles & Embossed Logo ·
The simpler the design, the more important the details. This bag excels with its tortoiseshell-effect acrylic handles, featuring semi-transparent brown marbling that exudes sophistication.
Gold FF embossed metal hardware connects the handles to the bag body, showcasing exquisite craftsmanship. The hinge design allows 180° rotation for easy top-zip access.
Crafted from mint green satin calfskin, the bag features a heat-stamped “FENDI ROMA” logo in matching tones for subtle brand recognition.
· Boston Bag Silhouette ·
The Boston Bag is characterized by its rectangular base, dual handles, and gathered opening, gaining popularity in 1890s Boston. As the Boston Globe reported: “If you see a woman carrying a Boston bag on Broadway or Chicago streets, she’s undoubtedly from Boston!”
The flat base ensures stability, while the top zip closure with extended pull-tab allows maximum opening. The leather tassel adds playful contrast to the structured shape.
· Detachable Strap ·
The included leather strap offers versatile crossbody, shoulder, or handheld carry options. Its slim profile easily tucks away when not in use.
· What Fits Inside ·
Despite its compact size, the FENDI By The Way Mini Boston Bag offers surprising capacity. The interior features FF jacquard lining and a back-wall card slot for essentials.
We fit an iPhone, AirPods, compact mirror, tissues, perfume, keys, and a coin purse – perfect for casual outings. The petite size is especially flattering for petite frames.
