Whether you were a diehard fan or an occasional viewer, you can’t deny the massive impact Sex and the City had on trends and style across the country. If Carrie Bradshaw wore a crop top, we attempted to rock a crop top. If the four women on the show were stocking up on Manolos, then you could bet your bottom dollar we were saving up to do the same. So how fitting is it that one of Carrie’s mainstay handbags is back in style, 20 years after she made it a cultural phenomenon. The Fendi Baguette was always perched on the main character’s shoulder whether she was shopping in Soho or meeting the girls for brunch, and the mini style is back in full force. Shop the classic bag now, plus similar styles for every budget.
