Q: What typically fits inside this Fendi Medium Baguette Bag?
A: With approximate dimensions of 26 x 15 x 7 cm, this medium Baguette is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, cardholder or small wallet, keys, lipstick, and a few compact personal items. It is a stylish day-to-evening bag rather than a large carryall, so bulkier items may not fit comfortably.
