This Got Us Nostalgic: The Fendi Spy Bag Is Back

Let’s be real: some bags are just... bags. But FENDI’s Spy Bag? That was a full-blown fashion era. If you know, you know. The twisted handle. The secret pocket. That chunky, buttery silhouette that said, “I’m expensive and a little mysterious.” Launched in 2005 and instantly iconic, the Spy Bag defined It-Girl energy before the term even existed.

Now, in 2025, it’s back. Yup, we’re fully spiraling with nostalgia.

Resurrected for Fall/Winter 2025-26, the Spy Bag still has the same undercover chic vibe we obsessed over in the early 2000s. Designed originally by Silvia Venturini Fendi, it’s all about that signature silhouette: bold curves, chunky hardware, and yes — the famous hidden flap pocket that feels like it could store your darkest secrets or at least your lip gloss.

This season, the bag comes in two sizes — OG and mini — and a full wardrobe of textures: luxe black and caramel leathers, glossy eel skin, and soft mink chevrons (hello, maximalism). Plus, if pastel-core is still your thing, there are shades of dusty rose, mint, and lemon so good you’ll want to eat them.

Why We’re Feeling Things

This bag is giving confidence, chaos, and couture all in one. It’s the kind of piece that turns a jeans-and-tank moment into a look. And let’s not pretend we didn’t once dream of being photographed with one on our arm outside Kitson or Le Marais.

In a fashion world full of tiny, timid accessories, the Spy Bag is here to say: loud is good. Chunky is good. Drama is very, very good.

Available from July 17, 2025, in select FENDI boutiques and online at fendi.com. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
