Fendi Handbags

Starting off with a price tag of nearly $10,000, the Fendi Mink Spy was released early last year and caused quite a fuss. The fluffy white Danish mink fur, along with the silvertone mesh metal double handles and the fine satin lining are a pricey force to be reckonned with. Going big all the way, the bag sports a hidden python coin purse with a snap closure. Luxury in every orifice. Although this bag has since been retired from the Saks site, there may still be a few lingering around. Call your local Fendi boutique or check Saks for $9450.

You can sit there and stare at your computer screen, throw things at it, and bash your head on your keyboard wondering why Jessica Simpson is still in the news, but face it, she is not going anywhere. Hair gets darker, its in the news. She wears a hat, its in the news. She has a Roman vacation with the hunky and fabulous John Mayer, its in the news. What I love to see in the news is her style. Jessica Simpson has someone who typically puts her together quite nicely. Her dark wavy hair matches that of Mr. John Mayer himself, the hat is totally my style, the laid back sweatshirt and jeans screams casual, and the Fendi Small Spy Bag is the cherry on top. Perfectly cute and not too big, the Fendi Small Spy Bag features lush Nappa leather and double woven handles. Absolutely love this mini version. Buy it through Bluefly for $1040 or check out your local Fendi boutique.

One of few females that can rock red lipstick so amazingly well, Christina Aguilera was seen leaving chic Hyde rockin’ out her edgy and bold look. Christina and I should definitely hang out sometime, have a little girl talk, and then she can show me her makeup routine. If I applied the colors and amounts she does, I’d look like a clown. Always adding the perfect accessorizing touch, Christina sported the Fendi Canvas B Bag. Her rendition is the natural canvas and what looks to be dark suede trim. Stunning number on a stunning lady. Check out many other versions of the Fendi B Bag’s at NAP.

Rawr? Animal print has been used through out fashion time to add a bit of sex appeal and a racy flare, but this bag is overdone. When most consumers look for animal print, they want a splash of it, not an entire bag of it. Come on, couldn’t the B Bag signature buckle at least be plain black or even matte gold? Welcome your eyes to the disaster at Fendi, the Fendi Leopard B Bag. An attempt at sassy gone awry, this hobo features leopard print fabric, chunky brass hardware and brass strap, and a leopard print patent leather buckle. Over-kill is making this handbag road-kill in my eyes. Via Net-A-Porter for approximately $1,131.

Check out the equally ugly, if not worse, little sister (Fendi Mini Leopard B Bag). This ugly duckling is all patent leather with in-your-face leopard print, which really stands out more than necessary. I think I am a tad cross-eyed from these bags!

Note: If for some reason you want to buy this bag, you have to check it out through GBP not $USD on NAP. Different bags for different parts of the world!

Fendi has designed so many renditions of the hit Spy bag that I can not keep track. I myself have a ‘plain’ Spy, especially compared to some others. The leather is so supple, the bag is huge, the handles are intricate, and overall I just love the Spy, still. This Fendi Spy Handbag brings in a beautiful pattern contrast stitching to the mix, either cognac or black leather are available at Neiman Marcus.

I am one of those girls that never used to like pink, but I have developed a special liking for it since college; it is just so feminine. If you are looking for a great pink patent leather bag, the Fendi Patent Leather B Bag may be just for you. The B Bag is an amazing style in my opinion, and this version is killer. It all depends on your bank account or your love of pink. If you truly have so much money that owning a pink patent bag is no biggie (seeing that you won’t get incredible use of it), or if you are a lover of pink so much that this could be your bag staple, then this is for you.There are brass chain handles and blue patent leather shoulder panels which both break up and even out the colors. A great B Bag rendition via Net-A-Porter for $1765.

5. Fendi Crossword Grande Mirrored Bag.

I know silver is the new gold, but I prefer not looking at myself on this bag. I can picture bystanders giving me the ‘are you seriously wearing that bag’ look which I would be able to see in the reflections of my handbag. Sure, at first glance it is not awful, but the picture on the model makes me really not like this thing at all. The silver coated calf leather is gives the seat-belt effect again and the perforated double F logo is so beyond my style. Maybe the bag would even be better with no panels, no perforations, and a better shape. That means we need a new design from scratch. Way too much; $2230 at eLuxury.

4. Fendi Transparent Zucca Tote with Pouch.

Looking just like the mesh mask layer that protects beehive workers, this tote bag is made with nylon and trimmed with Zucca canvas. You know what I would do with this tote… I’d sew right into the bag with yarn like I did as a child. That is precisely what Fendi is asking for with this ‘semi-sheer’ bag. Sure it is not the worst of the bunch, but I would not carry it to the beach or even use it to store dirty diapers. A waste of $475 via eLuxury.

3. Fendi Crossword Patent Clutch.

Look at me, look at me, I’m a Fendi clutch. For some reason even though handbag designer recognition is high, handbag designers think we all need their name all over our bags. Why? I could care less for the world to see the name Fendi randomly placed all over my clutch. I do love the patent leather, the polished silvertone metal handles (with their slight F design), but the silver mirror like coated letters plain old suck. Take em’ off, and I’ll be forgiving. Great size though; 12″x 5.75″x 1.5″. $920 through eLuxury.

2. Fendi Crossword Grande Net Bag.

Boring. We have all seen seatbelt bags, or the like, but to see a design house like Fendi use large net panels to weave like a basket is overly dull. For a price like this, I guarantee you could find about one bajillion better bags (ok, taken from Austin Powers, but still just about true). There is some patent leather trim thrown about. Fendi, if you are going to use seat belts, at lease grab them from a respectable car rather than an entry-level 16 year old’s car. I’d put the $1580 towards the down payment of a nice car with nice seat-belts, not this bag at eLuxury.
