"The Fendi Baguette wasn't intended to be a global phenomenon, as evidenced by the number 26424 attached to it when it was first designed by Silvia Venturini Fendi in 1997. To her, and to the house, it was just another bag - and she designed many."
"The Baguette fast became a fashion fetish - within 18 months, over 500 variations were proposed. Celebrating its almost-30th birthday, Fendi's new creative head Maria Grazia Chiuri has revived the Baguette in its almost-original form."
"Chiuri has reverted to a softer body, and the original buckled straps, meaning it could be removed to convert the bag to a soft evening clutch, but with longer length, leaning it can sit at different points on the body."
"Following a debut at the Milan Montenapoleone flagship, 14 iterations of the Fendi Baguette will then be available at the Shanghai IFC and New York City 57th Street boutiques."
The Fendi Baguette was designed in 1997 by Silvia Venturini Fendi and initially viewed as just another bag. Its unique design led to its rapid popularity, resulting in over 500 variations within 18 months. Celebrating its 30th anniversary, Maria Grazia Chiuri has revived the Baguette, returning to its original softer body and buckled straps. The new designs feature historical embroideries and will be showcased at Milano Design Week 2026, with 14 iterations available in flagship stores in Milan, Shanghai, and New York City.
