At first glance, the Fendi Studded Leather Satchel, seems basic. But on closer inspection, you will note that it is rich with quality and details! It’s the perfect lady-like bag with a teensy bit of edge.

Fendi is known for chic, classic handbags and this satchel exemplifies that style, but ramped up just a notch. The classic, rich creamy shaded pebbled leather exudes sophistication and richness. The pebbled texture keeps it from becoming too prissy. It’s boxy shape is classic yet fashion-forward at the same time. We don’t really see this exact shape too often right now. So, in a way, it’s a bit unique. The whipstich detailing provides the edginess reminiscent of styles by Carlos Falchi but without any slouchiness. Little wooden studs provide a jewel-like accent to this beautiful bag.

What I think I love most about this handbag is that it is quintessentially Fendi quality without the easily identifiable logo that we’ve come to know. This bag is a long, long way away from the double “F” canvas bags of the 80′s and 90′s!

It’s soft rectangular shape measures 12″ x 81/2″ x 4″. There is a zipper closure and fully lined interior with two inside pockets. The double hands have 5″ drop with matching stitched details.

I think you could safely say it is a forever bag and while pricey, will last and last! $2050 – Fendi Boutique at Saks Fifth Avenue
