Fendi pairs luxury and structure on its Silvana Croc & Stingray Bag

I’m not one to turn to single-handle structured handbags much, but sometimes an unexpected bag wows me enough to get my attention. Fendi has accomplished this with their Silvana Croc & Stingray Bag. Seriously, everything about this bag is absolutely stunning from the beige smooth leather to the dark brown crocodile to the beige stingray top handle. Each piece of the whole flows together beautifully, leaving a stunning fall accessory staple.

But does this bag evoke enough emotion to draw a price tag over $8,000?

For me, the answer is no. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this Fendi bag and it is by far one of the most stunning colorblocked brown bags I have ever laid my eyes upon. But the structure paired with the single top handle gives this bag a very ladylike vibe that simply doesn’t work with my personal style. There is, however, an optional shoulder strap, which begins to make this bag call to me and remind me that this can work for me too.

I love wearing jeans and maxi dresses with oversized tops and funky jackets. Even with the optional shoulder strap, I would never give this handbag the love and wear that is deserves. For the ladies who love a little structure, Fendi delivers an intensely gorgeous option. Overall dimensions are 8.5″ x 12″ x 5.5″. Pre-order via Neiman Marcus for $8,180.
