OUT OF PROPORTION

You know fashion’s in a holiday mood when raffia shows up in new offerings, such as Fendi’s latest Summer Capsule 2022 collection. Among the sophisticated models – from the Sunshine Shopper tote to the By The Way Boston bag – given a dose of pastoral charm, you can’t miss the eye-catching Nano Baguette with its oversized woven leather handle coupled with an oversized FF fastening on the flap, a quirky juxtaposition accentuated by graphic black. But don’t let the mischievous play on contrast trick you into thinking that it’s all show and no go. The pocket-size Baguette comes with a clip that attaches it to larger bags or belts, while the adjustable fine chain shoulder strap lets you wear it cross-body. Its functionality extends to the lining that is equipped with a flat pocket for keeping essential cards safe yet within easy access.
