I want a Silvana...

No.. not the Italian screen siren, Silvana Mangano, but the Fendi bag named after her. I have been googling, reading, re-reading and agreeing fervently on blog posts that gush and swoon over how classic yet versatile this gorgeous bag is. My fashion guru colleague urged me to go down to the store to take a look myself because he is convinced that the F logo on the strap cheapens the bag. Any gals familiar with this bag agree? Another quip I have about this bag is that even though it looks pretty versatile, one still have to look relatively smart casual to carry this off, no? So that means a no-no for the usual T-shirt and shorts outfits I don in over weekends. Hmm...

Anyhow, check out the pictures of this beautiful baby.. I love the color blocking of the SS11 collection, especially this one:

Alas the fashion guru says the above version is easily replicated and he predicts that before long, replica of it will be all over town.

What do you think?

Love the vintage version too! So what if there are replicas? You'd know that you have the real bag and that's the most important. Ha.

Hee... Ya loh.. my fashion guru colleague very mafan hor.. Though I have to give it to him that he is spot on most of the time.. save me from buying a Chloe bag which on hindsight(2 months had passed since my obsession) is really a fad bag..
