I have to hand it to Fendi: they’ve been killing it lately, thanks to their color-blocking acumen and high level of creativity. They have mixed up the colors, rethought the basics, and gotten out of their funk. And as of now, I’m officially swooning.

This fresh take on the “Silvana” has it all, and I want it. Badly. It’s vintage-inspired seventies chic with a 21st century sensibility and modern multi-functionality. And it looks several steps ahead of the pack. The smooth metal clasp, the ladylike fold-over design, the neutral tan base – totally retro. The double-your-pleasure colorblocking, completed in futuristic-shaped panels – now, now, now! Tan, taupe, and ivory are colors that are neutral enough from spring to fall, and that shimmer of slick pale gold hardware finishes off this beguiler of a bag like a delectable swipe of icing on a birthday cake. Tempted much? At Saks Fifth Avenue for $2,520.
