Bagopedia's Comment: A Little Treat For this Spring

Hello again. Still the same thing- long time no see!

Maybe because it is May now that inspires me to write. Bagopedia has been thinking about how to make this blog more personal. I have visited a lot of other bags' blogs. I have found that either blog owners talk a lot about themselves (food, travel...) or make negative comments on bad designs.

It is easy to find a bag with bad design and attack it. However, Bagopedia decides to only focus on bags and only post bags that I will/would add to my own collection. 

I haven't been inspired by handbag designs for a few seasons. This FENDI bag catches my eyes for two things: the size and the design.

The size of this bag is perfect- not too big or not too small. It has a zipper closure (I think I probably close as when you use handles, the bag is kind of closed itself). The bag is about 30 CM which is on the trend to smaller sizes. 

The bag has almost no details which will last. If you are looking for a high-end bag to start your collection, this one is not to miss! The only details are the unique design handles that can disappear (not removable), a tiny logo, and the clochette. The bag comes with a removable shoulder strap. You can carry this bag as a day bag, a clutch, or an evening bag.

The bag has a really nice FENDI leather outside. As a high-end brand, $1,700 is a reasonable price tag.

FENDI 2Jours Bags

This fall/winter FENDI introduces the 2Jours bags- simple totes with luxury finishes. This huge tote (15" Wide) has a beautiful shape that stands up. The luxurious finishes just tell you how beautiful these bags are. FENDI is famous of its fur and exotic leathers. It is really nice seeing them using the fur and exotic leathers on the bags.

Bagopedia's Rating: 4 Bags (Out of 5)

Bagopedia's Comment: There is something working about putting suede and gold hardware together. Bagopedia loves the colors. There are many amazing colors Fendi makes for this bags. Bagopedia loves the idea of a clutch into a tote. I also like the bag can be transformed into a different shape.

Bagopedia's Comment: Bagopedia saw this tote in a store and tried it on me. I loved the bag. It is a good size with a vintage look. I also loved that you can hind the Zucca logo behind your arms if you wanted to. It looked really great! However, I tried to put everything in my bag inside this tote, then I found the chains are not very comfortable on my shoulder. If you wanted to buy a new bag, make sure you know what you will put inside the bag. You might be surprised.

Bagopedia's Rating: 3.5 Bags (Out of 5)

Bagopedia's Comment: If you are finding this bag interesting, you are in the right territory. Gold color is big this fall/winter. Gold color in metallic finish is even hotter. Even though Bagopedia thinks this bag has longer life after this winter. Optional strap is a handy thing. Either as a clutch or a shoulder bag will get you through this winter warmly. Price tag? Not so crazy about it.

Bagopedia's Comment: Colorblocking is the key to the look now. Many companies make colorblocking handbags and clothes. Bagopedia likes this bag. What I like about this bag is even though it is busy- FENDI curve + colorblocking + stitching in the front + different materils + two large metal logos, and super thick handles, it looks like a complete piece. It tells you what a good design is and how FENDI can put different materials and colors together well.

The only thing I don't like about this bag is its name: The Chameleon. I've got the idea that the bag has many combinations of colors and materials, but the bag doesn't change colors. I have seen YSL and CHANEL made bags that change colors themselves. I will call that Chameleon.

Fendi Felt Shopper: $600? Seriously?

Bagopedia's Rating: 2 Bags (Out of 5)

Bagopeida's Comment: This bag looks exactly like a $20 tote from a local craft show. Bagopedia has no problems with the tote. In fact, I really like it. It has a structured body with really tick felt. It is roomy with a solid feel. However, felt costs nothing. The price tag is way too high for this tote. A large FENDI logo will make it better.

Bagopedia's Comment: Christmas in the summer

The bag Bagopedia is most excited has arrived today! Even though Bagopedia doesn't have a lot of opportunities to carry the clutches, I collect a lot of them. I knew I needed to have it as soon as I saw it. Bagopedia is a huge fan of stingray. I collect a lot of stingray pieces including bags, wallets, jewelry, shoes... Bagopedia loves the combination of the stones and the stingray leather. This bag is so beautiful that I can just stare at it all the time. The look, the feel, and the smell are amazing!

Bagopedia's Comment: Have you ever wondered why some bags go on sale right after they come out, but some never go on sale? Some bags still look good years after you bought them, but some don't look good anymore? Some bags keep their values but some don't?

This 2Bag looks good for about 10 seconds then you realize it doesn't look that good.

Bagopedia's Comment: FENDI is making a bold statement by designing the Silvana series. Bagopedia loves the bolor blocks and combinations. The multicolored ones mix 5 colors in one bag: some ever brown on green. The design is elegant but the color choices are risky- something very French. Bagopedia loves the combination that SJP's carrying. The green crocodile flap is to die for. The Silvana series provides many different combinations in materials, leathers, and colors. It goes from under $2,000 to $7,000 which shown on SJP.

Bagopeida's Comment: This uninteresting and uninspired bag will make your spring days dull. Bagopedia feels even duller to learn that it is a Fendi bag. The unnecessary zippers will just scratch your legs or jeans.
