Baguette bags that exuded luxury and style in the ‘90s are back!
More than just a fashion accessory, these type of bags are a cultural icon. It’s a fashion staple among fashion icons such as Sarah Jessica Parker, Paris Hilton, and Bella Hadid for three decades and counting.
For those of you who are newly discovering the baguette bag, it is defined by its compact structure and short shoulder strap, sitting snug under the arm to replicate the effortlessness of a French woman carrying a loaf of bread. The baguette is the perfect wear-everywhere purse.
From neutral-colored leather and ultra-monogrammed numbers, there’s a baguette for you no matter what your style is. Discover our favorite options of the moment.
Bottega Veneta Cassette Intrecciato Leather Shoulder Bag
The elongated baguette shape and easy-to-wear shoulder strap make this bag standout against the lineup of alternative intrecciato pieces. Plus, you can take this number from day-to-night with ease thanks to its neutral colorways and simple silhouette.
Loewe Puzzle Leather Shoulder Bag
One of the most recognizable pieces from Anderson’s Loewe era is the Puzzle bag. Made entirely in Spain, the shoulder bag is made with multiple pieces of leather thoughtfully sewn together. Whether you’re looking for an everyday bag or a piece to wear on special occasions, you’ll be able to find a puzzle bag in any hue to fit with your personal style.
Fendi Baguette Brown Fabric Bag
This Fendi baguette is perfect for anyone looking to bring back both the baguette style and the logomania of the early aughts. Not only is it a classic monogram, but we love that the bag features detachable handles and shoulder straps that allow us to customize and mix up how to wear the purse each day.
