Fendi Bag: More than Just a handbag
A Fendi handbag is more than just a handbag. It is a symbol of status, a "holy grail" of purses, a handbag that is worth remortgaging the house for.
The company creating these "to die for” handbags specializes in producing luxury goods. Fendi was founded in Rome in 1925 as a fur and leather boutique, but it grew very fast into a multinational brand. In the 1970s, the fashion house was brought to new heights by Karl Lagerfeld. About that time Fendi handbags became must-have items. Before they were sold outside Italy, store buyers and fashion editors made special trips to Rome on their way to the Milan fashion shows in order to buy them.
Today Fendi bags are more available, but still just as popular. Perhaps, the first Fendi handbag that every fashionista dreamed of is the Fendi Baguette. The famous purse was created by Silvia Venturini Fendi, the daughter of one of the five sisters who have inherited Fendi from their parents. Slender and rectangular, looking very much like a clutch, but with a shoulder handle, the Fendi Baguette became a must-have purse after it had appeared in an episode of “Sex and the City”.
The next Fendi handbag that became iconic is the Fendi Spy that was introduced in 2005. This chic slouchy oval bag with double braided leather handles was so popular that it came in hundreds of different materials and colours.
The following year it was the Fendi B that became the “It” bag. The cult purse with two signature oversized buckles was spotted on the arm of trendsetters and celebrities all over the globe, such as Nicky Hilton or Ashlee Simpson.
The collection of handbags of the brand includes many other purses such as the Fendi Peek-a-Boo, the Fendi Chef, the Fendi Fly, the Fendi Du Jour and many others. In order to get one, one will have to spend from $1,300 to $5,000. Clearly, not all women have so much money in their pockets. Even if they have it, they do not want to spend it on a purse. Even so, women still want to look fashionable.
Those who do not want to spend a great amount of money in order to be fashionable have a rather simple solution – purchasing replica Fendi handbags. These fake bags look exactly as the genuine handbags. Every detail is identical: the leather from which they are made, design, logos, and the shade of colour. The only thing that differs greatly is the price – the Fendi bag replicas are a dozen times cheaper than the real thing.
