Alright, let’s gab about this fancy bag, the Fendi Calf Hair Mama Baguette, they call it. Sounds like a mouthful, don’t it? But it’s just a purse, a real nice one, I reckon.
What’s the big deal with this Fendi Mama Baguette thingamajig?
Well, from what I gather, this ain’t just any old bag. It’s a “vintage” one, which means it’s been around the block a few times. They say it’s from, like, 2008 or somethin’. Heck, that’s like yesterday to me, but in the purse world, I guess that’s old. And they say it is a “Mama Baguette”, sounds like somethin’ you eat, but no, it’s bigger than them little Baguette bags they got. This one holds more stuff, like a mama would need, you know?
- Calf Hair, you say? Yep, that’s what they tell me. It’s made with hair from a baby cow. Don’t ask me why, city folks got their own ways. But it’s real soft, I hear, and it looks kinda fancy. They even got ones with all different color hairs stitched together, like a patchwork quilt, only on a purse. Now that’s somethin’, ain’t it?
- Is it the real McCoy? Well, that’s the million-dollar question, ain’t it? If you’re gonna spend your hard-earned cash on somethin’ like this, you wanna make sure it’s the real deal. They say look for a little tag inside, made of leather, that says “Fendi” on it. Sometimes it says “Fendi Roma” or “Fendi Made in Italy” too. Or it might be a little metal thingy with the same words. If it ain’t got that, it might be a fake. And nobody wants a fake, right?
- Where can you find one of these fancy bags? Seems like the place to go is this “eBay” thing. My grandson talks about it all the time. Says you can find just about anything there, used or new. They even got free shipping sometimes, which is a good thing, cause these bags ain’t cheap. You can find used ones too if you’re lookin’ for a deal. Just be careful who you’re buyin’ from, that’s what I always say.
This Baguette Bag, it’s got a history, they say.
Some lady named Silvia somethin’-or-other, she designed it way back in 1997. And then this show called “Sex and the City,” it made the bag real popular. City folks, I tell ya. They watch a show and then they all gotta have what them actors got. But hey, if it’s a good bag, it’s a good bag, no matter how you heard about it. And seems like Fendi, well, they been makin’ bags and such since 1925, over in Rome. Started out as a handbag shop and a fur workshop. Fancy stuff from the get-go, I guess.
So, is this Fendi Calf Hair Mama Baguette worth all the fuss?
Well, I reckon that depends on who you ask. If you got money to burn and you like fancy things, then maybe it is. They say it’s “rare” and “collectible,” which I guess means it’s hard to find and it might be worth somethin’ someday. It’s also a “staple” for them fancy folks, whatever that means. If you just need somethin’ to carry your stuff, well, you can probably find somethin’ cheaper. But if you want a bag that’s gonna make folks say “Ooh la la,” then maybe this is the one for you. But me? I’d rather use that money for some new garden tools or a good ol’ rocking chair, somethin’ practical you know.
What do they mean by original order?
Now this “original order” thing, I ain’t so sure about. But I reckon it means it’s the real thing, not some copycat. Like when you order somethin’ from a catalog, you want the real deal, not some cheap knockoff. So maybe they’re sayin’ this bag is just like the ones they first made, back in the day. Good quality, I hope, for the price they’re askin’. They do say the condition is “Excellent”, but then they say it “shows some wear and signs of use”, so which is it? Make up your mind, I say. Maybe it’s just got a little scratch or somethin’. If you’re buyin’ used, you gotta expect a little wear and tear, that’s just common sense. And they got all different colors too. Black, gray, you name it. So, if you can’t find a black one, you can get a gray one, or whatever color tickles your fancy. Lots of choices for them city folks, that’s for sure.
Anyways, that’s the long and short of it, as far as I can tell. This Fendi Mama Baguette thing is a fancy purse made of cow hair, it’s old, it’s collectible, and it costs a pretty penny. If that’s your cup of tea, go for it. Me? I’ll stick to my old canvas tote bag. It holds just as much, and it don’t cost a month’s worth of groceries. But hey, to each their own, right?
