So, I’ve been eyeing this Fendi By The Way Soft bag for a while now. You know, the one they updated for the Fall-Winter 2024/25 fashion show? It’s got this super chill, relaxed vibe that I’m totally into. I started my hunt online, because, let’s be real, who has time to go to actual stores anymore?
First, I hit up the usual suspects like The RealReal. They always have a good selection of designer stuff, and I was hoping to snag a deal. Found a few By The Way bags, but not the exact soft version I was after. Bummer. They were all pretty discounted, though, some up to 50% or even 90% off, if you can believe it! But, I was on a mission for this specific bag, so I moved on.
Next, I checked out a few other luxury online stores I know, like Farfetch, LUX LAIR, and Baltini. They all had Fendi By The Way bags, but again, not the soft version. Lots of regular ones, some even iconic mini versions, but it felt like I was searching for a needle in a haystack. The prices were all over the place, but definitely not cheap, even for the pre-owned ones.
Then I thought, “Why not try Poshmark?” People sell all kinds of stuff there, and sometimes you can find some real gems. I found a bunch of Fendi bags, but still no luck with the soft version, they even offered up to 70% discount. Prices were generally lower than the other sites, but, honestly, it was starting to feel like this bag was just a myth.
I even tried a website called ShopStyle, which lets you set sale alerts. I figured I could just set an alert for the Fendi By The Way Soft bag and wait for a good deal to pop up. They had over 40 sale items when I checked! Super tempting, but I resisted the urge to buy just any By The Way bag. Still no soft version, though. I set the alert anyway, just in case.
So, after hours of searching, I still haven’t found my dream bag. It’s frustrating, but I’m not giving up yet. I mean, I know this bag exists somewhere, probably in the hands of some celebrity right now. Guess that is the end of my finding, or maybe I’ll just wait for my ShopStyle alert to come through. Fingers crossed!
