Perhaps I’m merely prepared to indulge Fendi’s current logo-fendi spy bags silliness since the lovely runway collections the brand has given us over the past few seasons, but 1st I liked Fendi‘s a little bit strange horse-head tote, and now I locate myself enjoying the flowered-but-not-frilly Fendi Roll Bag Tote.
I feel the much more likely explanation is that these latest fendi spy handbags show a brand that’s not taking itself too significantly, which is usually worthy of applause. The double-dipped logo patterns of this tote could very easily read showy and dated, but the somewhat soft way in which they’re blended brings about an unusually satisfying visual dissonance for which I’m prepared to set aside my typical distaste for logo bags.
For me, the factor that makes this tote work is the fact that the Louis Vuitton Seasonal Collection Leather Speedy 25 and darker patterns do not line up. If they had, it would just have looked like one sheet of pattern was dyed with a flower pattern; instead, the mismatched Fs give you a much better impression with the topstitched fabric flowers (the yellow thread even adds some detail to the flowers, but you have to zoom in to see Louis Vuitton Seasonal Collection Leather Speedy 25), which looks far more interesting than just a typical pattern. Actually, the only assume I do not like about this bag is the cost – for a easy fabric tote, no matter how whimsical, the cost should be under $1000. Buy via Saks for $1010.
