The Fendi and Tiffany & Co Magic Wand

Twenty-five years ago, the Italian house Fendi launched a rectangular shoulder bag whose metal clasp represents the logo designed by Karl Lagerfeld in 1965, two “F” head to tail. With its 27 centimeters long and 15 centimeters wide, the model is worn high under the arm, like holding a baguette, a wink that will inspire its name. If the model quickly became cult, before going out of fashion, it has again become an object of desire since the style of the 1990s infused everywhere.

To celebrate its quarter century, the Baguette has been reinvented by the American house Tiffany & Co, famous for its diamonds and silver jewelry. For four months, artisans at the Rhode Island workshop designed and crafted a model entirely in sterling silver, engraved with lilies, the national flower of Italy, and roses, the state flower of New York. A unique piece made using a goldsmith technique that casts the bag in metal, reaching a weight of 2.356 kg. To accompany it, a dozen Baguette bags are also marketed in several sizes, in smooth leather, silk satin, sometimes embellished with diamonds, but, above all, colored in the famous Tiffany sky blue.
