A Sex and the City Tribute: The Fendi Baguette

FabSugar — Wed, 14 May 2008 09:00:22 PDT

Sure, when in episode 47 of season three of Sex and the City, when Carrie Bradshaw pleaded with a thief - "They're my favorite pair. I got them half price at a sample sale" - it sounded like she cared more about her Manolo Blahnik strappy sandals than her purple sequined Fendi Baguette. But when that robber ran away with her fabulous purse, we could feel her sadness through the tube. As a tribute to one of Carrie's favorite bags, I tracked down all Fendi Baguettes out there, old and new. Perhaps it will inspire you to get in on the revived trend. I did recently with a black pony-hair Baguette!

On Our Radar: Celebrities Customize Fendi Baguette

FabSugar — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 02:00:22 PDT

I already ordained it Simply Fab, but I think the Fendi Paint-Your-Own Baguette Tote may have just gotten Fabber.

In celebration of the Fendi Baguette's 10th Anniversary, the Italian fashion house asked big names like Scarlett Johansson, Kim Cattrall, Marchesa designers Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig, and Project Runway Season 4 contestant Chris March to each customize their own Fendi Baguette.

The products - Marchesa's has black and white hand-embroidered feathers on it - will be sold for $2,500 each on eLuxury.com starting April 17, and the proceeds will be donated to the designer's selected charities.

Simply Fab: Fendi Paint-Your-Own Baguette Tote

FabSugar — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 08:00:22 PDT

Relive your childhood in style and let your imagination run wild with the Fendi Paint-Your-Own Baguette Tote ($1,300).

If you're up to the challenge, Fendi is offering a DIY kit that includes a blank, white, canvas tote, and ten Pantone Universal markers wrapped in a colorful Fendi box. If you're artsy and feel like stretching your creative fingers, this would be the perfect project! I think I'll have to skip this one and leave the designing to the professionals - I'd hate the thought of ruining a Fendi bag with my scribble scrabble.

Fab Flash: The Fendi Baguette is Baaaaccck

FabSugar — Thu, 27 Sep 2007 12:30:33 PDT

How appropriate is this: just as SJP is traipsing around Manhattan filming the "Sex and the City" movie, the handbag that was her faithful SATC sidekick, the Fendi Baguette, is getting another spin today on the runway.

The bag was first launched in 1997, so for its ten-year anniversary, it's getting a makeover! For Spring, Fendi redesigned the bag in four sizes, from small to extra large - many feature a detachable strap that turns them into clutches, or for the larger versions, they can be transformed into messenger bags.

The bags are made in all different kinds of materials, from python to plasticized leathers, and many come lavishly embellished, too. Sounds like one of the original "It" bags may be "It" all over again...

See the Outlandish Crowns Mulberry, Lanvin, and More Designed for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee

Fashionista — Wed, 16 May 2012 12:55:18 PDT

We're excited to bring you the best fashion finds, shopping stories, and style news from one of our favorite sites, Fashionista. Today, they're giving us a look at the crowns designed for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.

Queen Elizabeth has long been considered a woman of many hats–and she’ll soon be adding many more to her burgeoning collection of (mainly pastel) headwear.

In honor of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, Harrods has tapped thirty-one of the biggest names in fashion–including Mulberry, Valentino, and Lanvin–to design revamped versions of the St. Edward’s Crown, the fancy-pants topper Elizabeth wore during her coronation way back in 1953.

And while there’s maybe a little too much crushed velvet for our taste, there’s also at least one fuzzy Jamiroquoi hat (Cavalli), one tiny Corgi (Paul Smith), two life size snakes (Bulgari and Boucheron), and what appears to be a crown made entirely of that caviar nail polish (Mulberry).

All the designs will be on display at Harrods in London starting today–but if, like us, you’ll be on the wrong side of the pond for all the jubilation, here are fourteen of the new crowns via Vogue UK. Cheers, m’dears.
