Well, let me tell ya ’bout this here… uh… Fendi Brown Zucchino Mama Forever Baguette Shoulder Bag. Sounds fancy, don’t it? But it’s just a purse, a bag, ya know? For carryin’ stuff. I seen a lot of bags in my day, let me tell ya.
This one, though, this Fendi Baguette, they say it’s a “classic style.” Hmph, “classic.” Means it’s been around a while, I reckon. Probably cost a pretty penny too. These city folk, they spend money on the craziest things. But I gotta say, this bag, it looks sturdy. Like it could hold a good amount of taters, or maybe some apples from the orchard. Wouldn’t wanna be carryin’ rocks in it though, that’d be silly.
Now, this “Zucchino” part, sounds like some kinda fancy Italian food. Like zucchini, ya know, those green squash things? Maybe the bag’s the color of a zucchini? Brown, though, they say it’s brown. So maybe it’s a brown zucchini? I dunno, city folks and their fancy names. They call it a “Mama Forever” bag too. What’s that supposed to mean? Is it for mamas? Does it last forever? Probably nothin’ lasts forever, ‘cept maybe the good Lord and the dirt under your feet.
- It’s a shoulder bag, so you can sling it over your shoulder.
- They say it was designed by some woman, Silvia somethin’-or-other, way back in 1997. That’s a long time ago!
- And it got popular ’cause of some TV show, “Sex and the City.” Never seen it myself. Too busy workin’, ya know?
They talk about the “FF” logo. I seen somethin’ like that before. On a fancy belt buckle, I think. Guess it means Fendi. They like to put that “FENDI” name on everything, even the little metal bits. Shows it’s expensive, I guess. Like brandin’ cattle, but for purses. Heh.
I heard tell you can buy these bags online. “ShopStyle,” they call it. Sounds like another one of them city things. Probably got all sorts of stuff on there, not just bags. Shoes, and whatnots. Jewelry too, I bet. Shiny things to catch your eye. But me? I’d rather have a good pair of work boots and a sturdy basket.
This “Baguette” part, it makes me think of bread. French bread, long and skinny. Maybe that’s why they call it that? ‘Cause it’s kinda long and skinny like a loaf of bread? I seen these fancy folks makin’ bread in special molds, little tiny loaves. Silicone, they call it. Waste of good flour, if you ask me. But I guess it’s all about bein’ fancy.
They talk about “vertical baguette lames.” Sounds like somethin’ you’d use to build a fence, not somethin’ you’d find on a purse. But I reckon they’re talkin’ about the way things are lined up, straight up and down. Makes things look taller, they say. Don’t know why you’d need a purse to look taller, but there ya go.
So, this Fendi Brown Zucchino Mama Forever Baguette Shoulder Bag. It’s a brown bag, long and skinny, made by some fancy company. It’s got their name all over it, so you know it’s expensive. And it was popular on some TV show. That’s about the gist of it. Me? I’ll stick with my old canvas tote. It holds everything I need, and it don’t cost an arm and a leg. But hey, if you got the money to spend, I guess you can buy whatever you want. Just don’t be wastin’ it on foolishness, that’s what I always say. And this bag, well, it seems a bit foolish to me, but what do I know? I’m just an old woman who knows the value of a hard day’s work and a good, strong pair of shoes.
Now they are selling it at a discount. Maybe it’s used? I saw one they were selling for one dollar! Now that’s a price even I would pay. But how much would it cost to ship it to me? Probably more than a dollar, those city folks are tricky like that.
And another thing, they talk about how careful they are when they make it. ” souci du detail” they say, whatever that means. Probably means they don’t want no crooked stitches! Well, I can sew a straight stitch myself, thank you very much. Learned that from my mama, and her mama before her. We didn’t have no fancy Fendi bags, but we had clothes that lasted, and that’s what mattered.
So, if you are looking for a classic shoulder bag, that is brown and was made famous on TV, maybe this is the bag for you. I still don’t know what Zucchino means but it must be important to them city folks.
