Another Classic FENDI Bag Is Set to Blow Up: The "Croissant" Bag Returns, and Its Crescent Silhouette Is So Irresistible!
Even playfulness than the Baguette!
Summary
・ The classic 1999 "Croissant Bag" makes a strong comeback: Following the Baguette, FENDI brings back the classic half-moon shoulder bag born in 1999, the Croissant. Reimagined by Maria Grazia Chiuri for the Resort 2027 collection, it reignites the retro It Bag conversation. ・ Soft, playful half-moon casual aesthetic: Distinct from the rectangular silhouette of the Baguette, the Croissant features a half-moon curve reminiscent of a croissant. Free from overly complex structures, it naturally hugs the body, infusing sharp suits, denim, or skirts with a sense of relaxed chic. ・ Rich and diverse materials and textures: This update introduces striking material details, including shimmering sequin embroidery, fringed animal prints, glossy cracked leather, and the brand loyalists' favorite classic FF Zucca monogram jacquard. ・ Combining high recognition with practical details: Carrying forward the brand's iconic FF flap closure and side buckles, it comes with an adjustable strap that transitions easily from casual daytime looks to evening date outfits, showcasing its highly versatile classic appeal.
When thinking of classic FENDI bags, the Baguette might be the first to come to mind, but the brand holds plenty of other archival treasures worth rediscovering. This time, FENDI turns its focus to another charming retro style: the Croissant. Defined by a crescent silhouette reminiscent of its namesake pastry, this classic shoulder bag first debuted in 1999. Now reinterpreted by Maria Grazia Chiuri for the Resort 2027 collection, it officially returns with a fresh look, leaving everyone wondering if it will become the next It bag.

First introduced during the Fall/Winter 1999-2000 runway show, the FENDI Croissant serves as a natural evolution of the iconic Baguette. While both share an effortless shoulder-bag style, each brings its own personality. Compared to the Baguette’s signature rectangular shape, the Croissant stands out with softer, playful crescent lines, earning its cute nickname from its pastry-like curve.
Free of overcomplicated structure, the Croissant hugs the body naturally for a chic, easy look. Whether paired with a sharp suit, simple jeans, or a feminine dress, it adds a touch of vintage style to any outfit.

This season, Maria Grazia Chiuri brings a bolder personality to the Croissant with eye-catching updates in materials and patterns. Highlights include sparkling sequin embroidery, fringe-trimmed animal prints, glossy cracked leather, and the familiar FF Zucca jacquard fabric beloved by FENDI fans.
Each material gives the Croissant a distinct mood, ranging from glamorous and striking to casual and rebellious, alongside vintage-inspired options perfect for everyday wear. The combination of the classic monogram with a rounded crescent shape captures late-’90s fashion charm that feels just as fresh today.
