In my Replica Handbag All Stars column I like to look at the bags that made it to the top of the A list and then just never came down. It’s not enough for it to be an “It” bag at one time or another, it has to become a classic, long after it makes the trends. The replica Fendi B Bag hits this criteria right on the nose. It’s one of my all time favorites, and along with the Spy bag it’s Fendi’s signature style.

Replica Fendi B Bag History
Voila, the replica Fendi B Bag, love it or leave it? Of all the famous It bags, this one is perhaps a bone of contention more than any other. Fendi has always inspired that kind of divided response to their designs. Whether it’s the B, the Spy, or the Baguette, their most popular designs have always been their most criticized as well.

The Fendi B bag was launched in the spring/summer 2006 line with instant craze surrounding it, and an immediate response from replica Fendi makers too. The bag appeared on Eluxury for all of 4 minutes before the whole stock sold out, after that it was all up to connections or copies for anyone who wanted one. Just as fast as the popularity went up, and stars like Jessica Simpson, Ashlee Simpson, Kate Hudson, Lindsay Lohan and Christina Aguilera got one, the naysayer chorus piped up.
Criticisms of the Fendi B Bag
Common criticisms are that it’s gaudy and boxy, that it’s aimed at Nouveau Riche and therefore snobby looking, and not in line with modern style, that it’s impractical and just plain ugly. While I definitely see why these accusations came up, I ultimately feel that it’s so versatile a style, that’s been made in so many color and material combinations that there’s certain replica Fendi B bag looks that I wouldn’t touch, and some that are bang on the money. That’s me. But regardless of what I think, you can’t argue with the influence of it…the trail of designs inspired by it is paved in Bs’.

Replica Fendi B Bag Specs
There are as many replica versions of the Fendi B bag as real ones, so a set materials list is impossible, but the basic structure is always the same:

• Soft-grained leather exterior (could be patent leather or canvas)
• leather trim (again could be patent leather)
• fine topstitching with aged brass hardware
• two oversized logo buckles trim the front (many different materials—usually patent leather)
• leather-and-chain straps top the bag
• flap closure and clasp open to a canvas interior and one patch pocket
• drop handle
• signature F detailing on the brass buckle prong

Size: 13″x4″x8″
Price
The replica Fendi B Bag above goes for $294 or $176 wholesale on Sofia’s. That’s a pretty standard price for a quality replica. The original goes for $1300-$5000, but a special edition went for $27 000 in 2006.

Well, the stars are still wearing it, and all evidence points to the It bag of 2006 being a classic bag for years to come. The Fendi B bag is definitely a replica handbag all star.
