Fendi 'Forever Mama' Flap Bag


Remember when Fendi was the go-to designer for chic everyday handbags? I actually fell in love with accessories the very day that I spotted a white mink Fendi Spy bag at Saks Fifth Avenue's flagship store. And of course, Carrie Bradshaw had some pivotal fashion moments with a myriad of Fendi baguettes. Unfortunately, the brand just couldn't seem to maintain it's luster. Recently, after years of mediocre designs, the sophisticated Peekaboo put the label back at the forefront of handbag design. Similarly to the Peekaboo, the Forever Mama is a seemingly classic bag, but the minute details give it a special twist. First and foremost, the pebbled leather is incredibly sumptuous and features a lovely sheen. The buttery yellow version certainly makes a style statement, but the chocolate brown is obviously more neutral. I've always been obsessed with the natural beauty of tortoise shell, so you can imagine my delight with the logo plaque as well as the strap. With traditional bags taking the place of oversized designs, this may just be the perfect it bag that will undoubtedly stand the test of time. The 'Forever Mama' retails for $1,400.
