Carried Away

In season three, episode 17 of HBO’s Emmy Award-winning Sex and the City, Carrie Bradshaw, dressed in a graphic wraparound giraffeprint dress paired with a petite metallic-pink pochette, encounters a mugger in an alleyway “somewhere south of Houston Street”. “Give me your bag,” the burglar says, to which Bradshaw famously responds with, “Uh, it’s a Baguette.”

To the ordinary viewer, Bradshaw might be misconstrued as referring to a loaf of French bread, but to Fendi—and many of its loyal followers—the Baguette is a mark of the Italian house’s first It bag.
