IT'S GOING BACK 👎 FENDI MIDI BAGUETTE DID NOT WORK FOR ME AND HERE'S WHY - Includes comparison

[@ReginaM.0220]

Thanks for my first closeup of the Fendi Zucca print. I would have the same problem as you do with the shorter strap, btw. That just means there is another type of purse out there, waiting for you to find it!

[@DaylesAddiction]

I’m glad it was helpful Regina - it’s such a beautiful finish but not this style.

[@AshetLux]

Oh no. I don’t understand non adjustable and non removable chains

[@DaylesAddiction]

I know right 😔

[@janehex]

So sorry Dayle, it's beautiful. I wish designers cared about making bags adjustable for every body type. The only reason I'm selling my Gucci Marmont is the strap drop is too long on the smallest setting, and of course doesn't come off the bag. Apart from that the bag is gorgeous. But I don't like wearing it. 😕 Looking forward to the next one! 🥰

[@DaylesAddiction]

That’s it Jane, sometimes it’s a blessing as it helps to exclude some pieces and make room to consider others ☺️

[@elinalall3475]

Sorry to hear the midi didn't work out but thanks for sharing your experience about it and what fits ❤️. I wish more bags had adjustable straps. Looking forward to hearing about your obsessions list!

[@DaylesAddiction]

Oh Elina - the obsessions don’t stop 🙈

[@kaybaldock5468]

Your joy when you opened the special box was so nice to see! X

[@DaylesAddiction]

Thank you!!!

[@mycorreia]

I love this bag and I’m sorry it didn’t work out for you because of the strap drop. I bought the midi baguette in nappa leather in pale pink, being petite it works well as a crossbody, but I like to wear it as a shoulder bag with the chain doubled up so it sits nicely under my arm. The zucca print mini baguette is on my wish list, you should definitely get it 😊

[@DaylesAddiction]

I’m so happy to hear it worked for you - you’re right, the mini is super cute too, I’ll definitely add it!

[@heidijay5902]

I love this bag, but I agree the chain is just a little too short for you (the lilac one is perfect). I actually wanted one of these bags (I fell in love with a leather one I saw last year), but I’ll have to try it on myself, because cross body is a non-negotiable for me.

[@DaylesAddiction]

This mono has to be crossbody for me but I get for many people you’ve gotta have multiple ways to wear it!

[@deborahsmith9968]

Oh gosh, it sits at SUCH a flattering place on you, much better than the pink, longer strap, baguette. You look lovely (as always) today in that pink sweater!!!

[@DaylesAddiction]

You think? Eek I think it makes me look so much thicker through the waste. Thanks for your opinion tho- I wish I could see it as you do!

Totally agree with you. The chain is not long enough on you. Too bad 😢 how tall are you ?

I’m 5’5”

[@stacey5741]

Me again Dayle, an unrelated question if I may? You mentioned all the stickers on the hardware during the unboxing. Last Sunday I purchased my first LV two SLGs for a birthday treat. I just opened them, I know, a week later, I wanted to saviour the experience. Anyway, I notice there is no stickers on the hardware and scratches!!, no padding inside and no paper around the small chain. I'm positive they gave me the shop stock that everyone looks at. I assumed they would wrap new ones for me when they disappeared. Bummed for my first experience, I even told the lady it was my first time. Can you confirm I am correct in expecting brand new items? Many thanks, I went to Pac Fair, I'm a local lady too. 🙂

[@DaylesAddiction]

Hey Stacey I’m so sorry that was your first experience, stickers on everything are uncommon in my opinion which is why I made such a deal about them. The fact that your pieces have scratches does indicate that they were probably floor stock (I have heard of similar service at Pac Fair before). I think you need to talk to them about it lovely.

[@gdkarma]

This is so helpful as there are virtually no reviews available for this bag. I have been contemplating the leather multicolor diagonal stripes pink version, but would only get it if I could crossbody it. I’m 5’ 5”, but tend to wear my crossbody bags a bit low on my hip, so I fear this would sit a bit high. I am not a fan of chain straps in general, but had been warming to the midi because of the color way. I wish Fendi had released the regular baguette in the multicolor 😩

[@DaylesAddiction]

Yes I know the one, it’s on sale on 24S at the moment - might be worth a try with free returns!

[@gdkarma]

@@DaylesAddiction it’s been calling me!! I think we are about the same size, so it may land in the same spot, but to your point - worth a try with the free returns. I picked up a pre-loved Fendi multicolor pochette that arrives Monday (sort of like the LV pochette accessories I think). The LV never really excited me enough except for a few special editions here and there, but the Fendi was just something different. I’m excited for it to arrive!

[@DaylesAddiction]

@@gdkarma 🤗🤗🤗 that’s exciting! I’d love to know what you think!

[@littleblackbabycat]

It sux when the bag chains/handles/straps are wrong, especially with length. I'm small and I find most things hang in the wrong spot for me. 🤔

Yes it seems that they must learn how to make adjustable chain straps!

[@marciamorris6626]

Such a great bag and you loved it. Since Fendi has such great customer service have you thought of contacting them to see if you could get an extended chain? Doesn’t seem like it would be too hard to do .

[@DaylesAddiction]

I didn’t even think of it, so maybe it’s not right for me. I will ask my SA one day!

[@luxpetite]

[@rhondafrazier8205]

Kind of strange that the crossbody was not a bit longer. I think the mini would be perfect though!

[@DaylesAddiction]

Yes I think so too Rhonda but I have a few convincing opinions about ways to wear the regular too that I might try also!

[@Roxas9822]

It’s a beautiful bag - I actually will buy one in yellow 😂. Thanks

[@ClaireLouiseLuxe]

Such a lovely bag! So sorry it’s got to go back Dayle 🥺 I have the same issue with so many bags I love - they are just too short for crossbody as I’m not petite and tiny and have a chest!! It’s so frustrating when the bag is perfect in every other way x

[@DaylesAddiction]

IKR! The only benefit is that it’s money back in the bag account for something more suitable!

[@glamluxemama]

Like yourself, I’m also over a bag needing to be crossbody. I’m sorry the Midi size didn’t work as you’d hoped. The canvas is so pretty on this one! Maybe they’ll change the strap to an adjustable/lengthening one in the future.

Oh Dayle....I feel your pain. That bag is so beautiful!! Sometimes it is so hard to just take a true look at how it will work for you...especially when the bag is just gorgeous!!! Just think, some other person is going to get that, who maybe didn't think they would, and are going to be so pleased! :-) Thank you for sharing this, when something doesn't work. It helps to see it, sometimes it can be so easy to keep something you know isn't going to work..and then regret it later,. It helps to see others feel the struggle too. Your disappointment was palpable, I felt so bad. Hugs.

[@DaylesAddiction]

Thanks for understanding- I literally thought it was my Goldilocks Zucca. It also helped that I had to find the money for the peekaboo so my decision making became a lot more analytical than from the heart - but ouch! Thanks for understanding lovely ☺️

[@stacey5741]

Such a shame Dayle, I really love that bag and print too. The mini may be better for me too then. Thanks heaps for the information. It will be my first Fendi bag, woohoo.

[@DaylesAddiction]

Oh that’s so exciting- I’m looking forward to trying both the mini and regular again!

[@StyledByGwenny]

I LOVE the size & shape of the Midi, but the chain really puts me off, it's just not as versatile as the other baguettes. Sure it's disappointing, but it frees you up for something on your 5 obsessions list! 😉💕

No kidding Gwenny You gals have me in all sorts of pain with that tag! Filmed it today 🙈

[@LuMiLevelUp]

I love the bag, sorry to hear it didn’t work for you. But then you definitely made the right decision with returning. But I wouldn’t assume the Zuccha isn’t working for you, it‘s for sure just the strap lenght!

[@LouisaDD]

I disagree! It looks like it might be meant to be more of a ‘tummy’ bag than shoulder bag. I actually really like it on Dayle! It certainly does not highlight any ‘bits’, I think it sits beautifully! For me it’s more the style that seems out of character, it’s not as fun or colourful as her other bags. But I LOVE it😍 Oh well, Dayle, plenty of fish and so on😊

[@DaylesAddiction]

@@LouisaDD thanks lovely, it’s great to have another perspective!

[@cindysfavouritethings]

Hi Dayle, how disappointing for you! It is such a beautiful bag, I agree that they should have made the chain longer or adjustable, I don't understand why they didn't do it, it would have appealed to more people. Please just be patient, you will definitely find your dream Zucca print bag:)

[@DaylesAddiction]

Thanks Cindy, it’s unusual for Fendi but it’s not surprising as I hadn’t tried it before and was just going off other peoples experience.

[@imbaghappy]

I have the same problem with it and it looks awkward on me crossbody... and I'm all about crossbody! My bust and built limit the bags I can carry, to be honest, which is both a good and bad thing, I guess. Also, I much prefer my medium baguette and I feel like having the midi would just be a little bit redundant... but that's me and my thought process when it comes to my collection.

[@DaylesAddiction]

I was a great idea in theory Marie but in practice 💁🏻‍♀️ I’ll retry the regular and mini now 🤗

[@traingirl.meghan]

I'm sorry this didn't work out. I've had trouble finding my ideal zucca print piece as well. I'm really into some of the men's bags, so it might end up being one of those. Then again, they are more often black, and I do like the traditional brown canvas. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I hope you find the zucca bag of your dreams! ❤️

[@DaylesAddiction]

You’re right Meghan, the mens bags are intriguing too!

[@julietuffee]

Sorry it didn't work out for you Dayle but I really appreciate you putting an honest review up here anyhow. Not every bag is going to suit all body types and I have a similar frame to yours so I now know this bag won't work crossbody on me either.

[@gracek51921]

Maybe so, since it’s a perfect in between size 😉

[@booksandbags1790]

I would love one but I feel the baguettes are so overpriced. I would also be concerned about the hardware being scratched by the chain.

The baguettes are definitely not what I’d call - reasonably priced, fendi isn’t a cheaper luxury brand at all. However what I’ve learned lately is how much more expensive it is in Australia, omg it’s crazy!

The “WFIMB” I’m wondering where do you put medication container (pot with a day’s meds), glasses/sunglasses, contact lens pot, hygiene products, small tissue pkt, haven’t got hearing aids…. yet… any ideas? Didn’t think about any of this in my younger years🙈🙉🙊. Plus I couldn’t handle having to swap my card/coin/ purse holder depending on the “BOTD”.

Oh Dayle I am so sad for you. You were so excited when you unboxed it. Such a stunning bag. It is such a shame they didn't make the chain longer or adjustable. I would have the same problem as you. Curvy and bigger boobs though I am a shorty also and lets add in the old age spread. LOL. Of course you look a lot better than I do. I think you have the perfect figure and you always look stunning. It is just frustrating that like a lot of brands they make the strap lengths so different on the same style bag but in different sizes. The mini has perfect strap length and then they shorten it on the midi just like Chanel do with the medium classic flap being so much shorter than the mini so that is no good as a cross body. Well not for me anyway and I would say the same for you. It's so disappointing they do this. I love this Zucca print so much. Hopefully you will find the perfect one with the right strap length. Crossing my fingers for you. I could have all your baguettes they are so gorgeous so if you ever get sick of them you can send them my way. HAHA. Much love. Jenni from Adelaide. XX
