I was so into the Spy Bag when it hit its peak a few years ago, it literally took all I had not to splurge on one. What stopped me? The two baguettes and the croissant bag now gathering dust in my closet! I remember in 2002 when I got my first baguette — at the time, as I’m sure you all recall, they were all over the place in about a million variations — I really thought I would love the bag forever. Pshwa! One of the baguettes I have is actually cream with green, pink, yellow string details, sequins, and mirror paillettes…I don’t know what I was thinking; seriously don’t think it could be more hideous! Similarly though while the spy bag is still a cute find, it has lost it’s rassle dazzle for me. Fendi is great at making trendy bags, but not so great at making timeless ones and I’ve learned from my mistakes and frustrations over wasted money on over-priced trend items. Ashley Tisdale’s Fendi Spy-Zucca Embossed Leather and Fabric Handbag retails for $2,050,but personally I wouldn’t want it for $400 at this point.
Are you as over the Spy Bag as I am?
