Well, let’s yak about this here… Fendi… Calf… Hair… Mama… Bag… Baguette… Brown… Bag, thingy. Sounds fancy, huh? Like somethin’ them city gals would carry.
Is it any good? That’s what you really wanna know, ain’t it? I ain’t no expert, but I seen a thing or two in my day. They say it’s made of, uh, “calf hair.” Now, I ain’t never seen a calf with hair like that, but what do I know? It’s supposed to be soft and, what’s the word… supple? Like them fancy leather boots the preacher wears, only hairy. Sounds kinda itchy to me, but folks say it’s the real deal, “authentic” they call it.
They also say it’s got this “logo jacquard lining” inside. Sounds like a bunch of jibber-jabber to me. Probably just some fancy cloth, keeps your stuff from rattlin’ around, I reckon. And it’s got a pocket inside, just one. Well, that’s enough for a few coins and maybe a lipstick, if you’re the type.
- Strap: It’s got a strap, see? So you can sling it over your shoulder. They say it’s “adjustable,” which means you can make it longer or shorter, depending on how you like it. And it’s got some gold-colored… uh… hardware. Buckles and stuff, I guess. Shiny things.
- Size: Now, this “baguette” thing… I guess it’s kinda long and skinny, like that bread the French folks eat. Not big enough to carry a whole chicken, that’s for sure. More like for a wallet and your keys. Maybe a small Bible, if you’re goin’ to church.
- Colors: They talk about “patches of colored pony hair pieces.” Sounds like a quilt, don’t it? Different colors all stitched together. This one’s brown, they say. Brown’s a good color. Hides the dirt.
Where do you get one of these things? Seems like they sell ‘em in fancy stores, “official flagship stores” they call ‘em. And online, too. eBay, someone said. But you gotta be careful, lots of fakes out there. You want the real McCoy, you gotta pay the price, I hear. They call it a “luxury” item. That means it costs a pretty penny. More than I make in a month, I betcha.
Is it worth it? That’s the million-dollar question, ain’t it? I guess it depends on who you are and what you want. If you got money to burn and you wanna look fancy, then maybe it is. But if you’re like me, and you gotta make every dollar count, then probably not. I could buy a whole lotta flour and sugar for the price of one of them bags. And that’d feed a family for a good long while.
Some folks say it’s a “vintage” thing. Means it’s old, I guess. Like them old quilts my grandma used to make. Only these quilts cost a whole lot more. And they ain’t as warm, I betcha.
They also say it was designed by some woman named Silvia. She must be a smart cookie. Made a whole lotta money off these bags, I reckon. And they became famous ‘cause of some TV show, “Sex and the City.” I ain’t never seen it, but I heard it’s about them city gals and their fancy lives. Always chasing after the latest this and the greatest that.
How to spot a real one? Well, they say the real ones got “FENDI” or “FF” stamped on all the metal parts. And the snap under the logo, it’s square and got “FENDI” wrote on it real neat. Just like them fancy dishes my aunt had, always had the maker’s mark on the bottom. Shows it’s the real thing, I guess.
This “calfskin” they talk about, it’s supposed to be tough. Last a long time, they say. Well, for that kinda money, it better last. I ain’t spendin’ my hard-earned cash on somethin’ that’s gonna fall apart after a few months.
So, there you have it. That’s all I know about this Perfect Copy Fendi Calf Hair Mama Bag Baguette Brown Bag from the “Official flagship store”… or wherever they sell ‘em. It’s fancy, it’s expensive, and it’s probably not for the likes of me. But if you got the money and you like the way it looks, then go for it, I say. Just don’t come cryin’ to me if it gets a hole in it.
Folks in Windcrest are sellin’ used ones too, if you’re lookin’ for a deal. But be careful, like I said. Lots of them fancy things ain’t what they seem.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go make some biscuits. That’s somethin’ I know a thing or two about.
