FENDI has brought the Baguette® 26424 Re‑Edition to New York City, celebrating the bag’s latest chapter with an intimate, gallery like event that united friends of the Maison, celebrities and cultural voices at its Madison Avenue flagship. Following presentations in Milan and at Shanghai IFC, the New York stop extends the global journey of a reimagined icon that frames personality as the ultimate expression of beauty.
From Milan and Shanghai to Madison Avenue
The Baguette® 26424 Re‑Edition was first unveiled during Maria Grazia Chiuri’s Fall/Winter 2026–27 collection and showcased in depth at Palazzo FENDI during Milan Design Week 2026, where 20 iterations of the bag were presented in an installation dubbed The Baguette Lab. Fourteen of those variations are now touring internationally through dedicated pop ins at Milan Montenapoleone, Shanghai IFC and New York City’s 57th Street and Madison Avenue boutiques.
After its debut in Milan and a subsequent stop…
in Shanghai, the Baguette 26424 arrived in New York, where FENDI staged an evening tribute to the design at its Madison Avenue flagship, offering guests a first look at the New York edit of the Re‑Edition collection.

Vogue reports that Lively and Wilde “bonded over Baguettes” during the evening, underscoring how strongly the bag still functions as both accessory and cultural signifier almost three decades after its 1997 debut.
