Vintage Fendi Lilac Beaded Baguette with Black Python
Description
Most Baguettes from this season close with Fendi's standard FF buckle. This one wears it in crystal, set with baguette-cut stones. From the late 1990s, the years the Baguette became the bag of its decade. The body is hand-embroidered in iridescent lilac bugle beads, outlined in black, and surrounded in python. The flap, its interior, the zip trim and the adjustable shoulder strap are all in black python.

- Entrupy Certificate of Authenticity
Authenticity Guarantee
Authenticity is the foundation of everything we do.
Every piece is independently authenticated by a trusted third-party service before it is listed. For most pieces, that is Entrupy, which uses AI and microscopic imaging to verify each piece against millions of authenticated references, producing an objective, documented result. Where a piece falls outside Entrupy’s scope, such as exotic leathers or rare and prototype pieces, we use the service best suited to it, noted in its description.
Every order ships with its Certificate of Authenticity. If you would like to see it before you buy, just ask, and we will gladly send it ahead of purchase. If a piece has been altered or embellished after leaving the house, we will always say so.
Only once a piece passes does it earn its place in the collection. And we stand behind it. If a piece sold by The Archival Collection is ever found not to be authentic, we will make it right with a full refund. Claims must be made within 14 days of delivery. See our Refund Policy for how to make a claim.
