Mel from Tokyo, a loyal Bag Snob reader since Day 1, alerted me to this Fendi bag last week. At first I thought my near sightedness was back even though I had Lasik 8 years ago and have had 20/20 vision ever since. I looked at it from all angles and zoomed in on every corner of the bag to make sure I was seeing correctly. Sure enough, there is nothing wrong with my vision. It really is a ghastly concoction of multi colored canvas, rope, lizard, patent leather, and Fendi plaque, all topped off with a giant gaudy yellow crown. Why, Fendi, why do you continue assaulting us with these ridiculous and horrendous bags? And naming it “Bag du Jour” is not going to entice anyone to buy it, cuz if being fashionable today means I have to be seen with this hideous bag, I don’t want to be of the moment. I’d rather be so last season and use my Pierre Hardy besace bag, the “Bag du Hier”. And the design isn’t the only appalling thing, the price is just as ridiculous. It’s $1910 on sale for $1377 at eLuxury!
It brings to mind yachting. Being out on the sea for the day, taking in the fresh air, and chucking your hideous bag over the side leaving it as somewhat of a time capsule of bad taste to be found decades later on the ocean floor. Brook , London
Bagsnob, it’s actually a pretty old bag; it’s been on eluxury for at least 6-8 months now (understandably, because it is so hideous). =)
It looks like someone just threw up on a pair of inexpensive curtains and happened to have a rope handy to create this mess of a bag. I have seen more fetching creations in Matalan/Primark (UK stores) than this. What were Fendi thinking?!?!?
This bag is offensive to my senses in oh so many ways.
