I just got an email from eLuxury, and what I saw made me do a double-take. First of all, I was hit by the realization that it had been 10 years since the Fendi Baguette, once an insanely popular little bag that over the years has come in every possible color and material combination, was released.

But at the bottom, amidst all the spring-colored baguettes, was a new addition for those with an artistic flair…

If you have ever dreamed of decorating your own luxury bag, but had to settle for using paint pens on a $4.99 canvas tote from Hobby Lobby, Fendi is making it possible for you to go a bit more upscale.

Inside the Fendi gift box is one white coated canvas Baguette and ten Pantone Universe markers. I would imagine that these are permanent markers, so it would be best to make sure you have a very good design plotted before cutting loose.

It all sounds like great fun until you get the reality check, or should I say “the bill”. $1300 for a blank canvas that you can wear…hmmm.

But then, how cool would it be if you had one personally decorated by your favorite artist (dead or alive): Stephen Sprouse, Peter Max, Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Piet Mondrian, Jackson Pollack; these are just a few that I think could do justice to a bag like this.

My smiley faces and stick men would hardly justiy such a rarified medium.

Are you brave enough to risk $1300 and decorate your own? Or one for your sweetie? If so, then click here.
