It’s no secret that Fendi is having a moment. Over the last couple of years, Fendi’s popularity has gained momentum, thanks in large part due to the return of the brand’s iconic Baguette bag. It seems there is no stopping this storied Italian design house now that it is once again one of the top luxury players. You won’t see complaints from us—the Baguette and the classic Peekaboo are some of our favorite bags.
For Spring 2020, Fendi plays on its current hits, offering interesting takes on its beloved bags. Offering up interesting fabrications like terrycloth and woven leather, these bags are quintessentially spring. These novelty bags are fresh and fun. Not to mention—in pastel pink, they’re right on target with one of this spring’s hottest trends.
Fendi’s cult favorite Baguette bag, which is arguably one of the most popular reissues of the moment, gets a fun update in plush terrycloth. The perfect poolside companion, this version of the Baguette comes with two straps for dual-functionality. It can be hand carried via the small top handles or worn over the shoulder with the longer strap.
Though the longer strap is not adjustable, both straps are removable, allowing this bag to really work overtime. Though pricey for a bag that’s completely leather-free, the plush terrycloth is a great option for those who chose not to wear leather or simply for those who love a good novelty bag. The Medium Fendi Baguette is available now via Fendi for $2,590.
Another great option from Fendi’s Spring 2020 bags are the updated Peekaboos. A classic bag and shape, the Peekaboo is one of Fendi’s most iconic bags. Available in a wide array of sizes, colors and fabrications, the Peekaboo is updated in an intricate woven leather for the warmer months that are to come.
Typically one of Fendi’s more structured styles, this updated novelty version of Fendi’s classic Peekaboo is a bit more laid back. The woven leather is soft and less shapely, so if you prefer a structured shape this isn’t the bag for you. Available in three sizes: mini, medium and large, there’s a version for everyone.
While the elaborate woven leather is see-through as the bag is completely unlined, the Peekaboo bag keeps your belongings secure with its iconic gold turnlock. All sizes also come with a detachable longer strap for shoulder or crossbody wear. The iconic mini in pastel pink retails for $4,800 while the tan large will set you back $7,200.
These bags are pretty and one day I hope to own a leather Peekaboo, but the price for these are a bit standoffish. (Also, the photos are great, but why is the model’s head chopped out of the photo? It’s disappointing and I presume it’s Kaitlin. In other photo shoots she looks happy, pretty and elegant modeling bags).
Kaitlin is all of those things! We try to keep editorials focused on the product versus the person. Whenever we do more in depth reviews with our bags, we share ‘heads’!
I understand, but let me play devil’s advocate and present another viewpoint. It looks awkward to see these type of photo’s and I’ll explain why. When her head is turned and/or cropped It gives the illusion that she doesn’t want to be seen carrying this bag. And it looks weird to see a model without a head, especially when I know what the model looks like, which makes me focus more on this than the bag. Seeing a model having fun and enjoying a bag pushes me more in the direction of purchasing the bag. However, with all that said my viewpoint isn’t meant to be confrontational. Furthermore, I recognize that you are the professional with significant knowledge in this area and my viewpoint is just food for thought. Thanks for hearing me out and with your busy schedule don’t feel obligated to respond, these are just my thoughts. Enjoy your day!
Thank you for sharing your viewpoint, totally get it and that is why we do share pics that have her included as well! We will keep it in mind and continue to! I always want our site to be focused on the bags, but I do get your point 🙂
These Fendi bags look great!
absolutely love the peekaboo and its newest iteration
Fendi should learn from Saint Laurent and lower the prices!! My goodness $7000 for a handbag??? Uffda!!! Ladies you can buy 40 grams of pure 24 karat gold for that price in India and the gold value keeps going up!
Sure, for the price of these bags a person can buy gold, silver, jewelry, furniture, etc. etc. but people come here looking for ideas and inspiration re: bags. Gold is a smart investment, but will it satisfy the craving or need for a bag? No. If you want gold, you buy gold. If you want a bag, you buy a bag.
Mini = $4.8K!!! NOPE!!!
I own a medium Peekaboo bag which is very pretty but so difficult to get into. The The center opening is small and I struggle getting everything out of it, especially my full size wallet. I’ve scraped my knuckles trying to get my wallet, phone, lip gloss out so I no longer carry it. What a waste of a very pretty but very non-functional bag.
Thank you for such important info for us who are considering getting one!
it’s a medium? I thought the medium would offer more space than the mini :/
I’ve been considering to buy a preloved mini but I keep going back and forth because of the size. thanks for your input!
The medium is what I have (or I call it the regular) and I think it’s a great size – I use it really often for me and my kids even and it works. You sure you have the medium butterbox?
Yes, it is the medium and I have the most difficult time getting in it. I literally skin my knuckles at times digging around for keys or wallet or whatever. It’s a very cute bag, but I just don’t use it because of the opening flaw.
Fun, “girlie” looking bags. I’m only a 10 pound girl, so I might fit nicely inside one of them…Take me along, get loads of attention..!?
Nothing at those price levels, even if made out of toweling, should be brought poolside.
