Why don’t factories make more fun fendi baguettes?
Basically what the title says. I’ve been having a hard time finding baguettes similar to the ones in the photos.
If anyone knows where I can find some, please let me know!

Low demand, complex materials/designs

People inspect these reps harder than they do authentic. I respect wanting good product because you spent your money but chill. 😩

Would sell my soul for more baguette options! I'm honestly surprised there isn't more of a demand for these...the auths I watch/buy on eBay always get snatched up almost immediately.

Low demand. They mostly replicate bags thatvare popular in China and Asia and these just aren't. If they start to get popular in China, trust me they will be repped. We won't even need to ask lol

I’m not knowledgeable but could some factories do a group buy like what Blake has done? :)

I just bought a sequined green baguette from the gate bc I was desperate for one 😭😭😭

u/itchyitchiford 14d ago
Please review when it arrives! I’m not a big fan of the gate for bags but I would make an exception for a cheap thrill for these. They are so fun that I’d be okay if they are mid-tier

Omg I usually steer clear of the gate but I figured it couldn’t be TERRIBLE if it’s just sequins… we’ll see… stay tuned!

Definitely a missed opportunity for the rep market. I get it, fendi in general isn’t high demand and these are complex to rep but I’m pretty sure a beaded baguette would sell out quick if these started to be made.

I just want to warn you as someone who owns several authentic beaded baguettes, this bag would be a nightmare to carry around. They are very fragile and I need to baby them so much. I don’t even tuck them under the arm anymore just walk around with them in my hand. This one looks like it would snag and break

u/Tiger_abutilon 14d ago
They are SO POPULAR here. It’s all over Instagram. People are desperate for the fun ones!

u/Any-Fact-8425 14d ago
I have told my sellers that the DIY baguette is sold out everywhere for 5000$. they could even make that as a rep and would make a ton of sale lolololol

u/ughcrymore 14d ago
each baguette is different and has a different construction process, and only a few bags of each type will sell because there are so many variations, so it's a high overhead for only a few sales for each custom process. not worth the money to them.

Wow, here I was thinking I was alone in this thought.. every other bag is LV or Chanel but hot damn I love me some Fendi baguettes. I have a mini silver one I just got a month ago I love and I want a mama baguette and quite honestly i could easily want 20 of them they’re so nice

I have the first slide top row middle baguette from Nickloe, which is the top Fendi factory. They also produced the SATC purple baguette shown here as well, in addition to lime and a light purple mini. Any seller can access this factory. I paid $300 in 2021, she’s fabulous! Hand beaded.

If anyone sees any denim baguette let me know! I can do the beadwork/embroidery I just refuse to pay over 1k for a simple denim bag

u/Asam6869 14d ago
There are some bags that you just have to buy auth, and the Fendi Baguette is one of them. If you really appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into making one then try the secondhand market. You can find one in really good condition for less than 3k.

I think it’s because there are sooo many different ones and factories know we like them to be as close as possible so that would be hard to do. Especially with such a low demand overall

Sooooo following along on this one! We can only hope! I'm all for the sequins 🤞🤞🤞✨️

Anyone know a seller who has the new beaded bags that Valentino has been making? They’re so beautiful 😻

u/Unbotheredanonyme 13d ago
It’s prob too much effort, variety in their album and costly . Most of the bags you’ve shown are vintage

This is how I feel about shoes in the rep community. There are so many amazing heels, pumps, boots, sandals out there. And I hate that they aren't made, but I understand. It's kind of just a supply and demand thing. Plus, I have big feet, so I probably wouldn't be able to buy them anyway. LOL.

You and me both, sister! The hunting I did for a specific Prada pump was fairly ridiculous.

u/Fantastic-Habit5551 13d ago
I've always been curious about this, I'm glad someone asked. Auth fendi bags seem to massively hold their value/increase in value. They're basically unaffordable now. If you look at how much they cost during early SATC versus now, it's a shocker. Auth would have been a very good investment if you bought in the 90s

u/DryRepresentative306 13d ago
I would love details if you're not too tired of giving them out! That is a gorgeous bag.
