It all began with the Baguette bag, designed by Silvia Venturini Fendi in 1997, taking inspiration from the way a baguette of bread is carried under the arm in France. 23 years later and the Baguette-style bag remains adored by fashion lovers the world over, carried under the shoulder by its shorthand strap or held in the hand like a clutch.
