Helloooooo Ladies: The Limited Edition Fendi Baguette Mezzo Punto Has Got The Handbag Game All Sewn Up!



"The Italian fashion house Fendi comes with a new funny concept of bag.

Now, you can have your Fendi Baguette, where “your” means unique and really representing your own style. How is it possible?

With the new Fendi limited edition called Baguette Mezzo Punto.

“Mezzo punto” is the Italian for “half stitch”, so you have to bring this canvas bag, a needle and all your fantasy! There are in Fendi box also diagrams and illustrations help beginning stitchers.

Fendi Baguette Mezzo Punto will be presented at Design Miami/Basel in December
.

”Fendi is a creativity factory that supports talent without boundaries. In these challenging times in which the world is changing rapidly, we wanted to exalt pure creativity by putting attention on traditional materials and low technology techniques.

We wanted to rediscover the power and the beauty of ‘Fatto a Mano’ (Hand-Craft)” Fendi Accesories Creative Director Silvia Venturini Fendi said.

“Fendistrongly believes that creativity and the flow of ideas are the Fuel for the Future. Forever.

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: The new über limited edition Fendi Baguette Mezzo Punto is more arts & crafts than artisan craftsmanship. Now, none of this is to suggest that the venerable Fendi family has dropped the design ball nor is this to imply that the workers @ the Fendi factory have unionized and gone on strike leaving half-made handbags littering the floors - no, this LVMH backed brand simply wants Y.O.U. to customize your own shit ... lol.

Admittedly, @ $995 not everybody will delight @ the opportunity to potentially ruin their latest handbag with sloppy and errant stitching, however, thanks to the user friendly how-to charts included with the baguette, one does not have to "thread the needle" like NBA guard Chris Paul in order to be a success ... lol.

Set to debut this December @ the high end international art world destination Design/Miami Basel Show, the Fendi Baguette Mezzo Punto will go on sale November 30th @ select Limited Edition Experiences pop-up shops in South Beach. For all of Y.O.U. other late bloomers who can't make it to Miami on the double, the Baguette Mezzo Punto will be available this Spring @ Fendi boutiques nationwide. *Cue Fabolous Voice* "Just sew it in the bag" ... lol. Good shit!
