10 Iconic Brand Collabs That Totally Should Have Been

Pull aside any New York Fashion Week attendee and they’ll be more than willing to discuss the latest, must-have baguette bag. No, we’re not talking about Fendi’s classic shoulder bag silhouette—we’re talking about Panera. Seriously. In honor of its new toasted baguette sandwich menu, Panera designed a green shoulder bag with a removable gold chain strap that is the perfect size for stowing a baguette sammie should you find yourself suddenly getting hangry on the go. The bag (which sold out in just nine hours) is shockingly chic and can’t help but make us think what a brilliant opportunity this would have been for a brand like Fendi to partner with Panera for even more style points. In that spirit, here are ten more brand collabs we wish we could shop for double the fun.
