“It’s a baguette.” Sex And The City fanatics will almost certainly know this famous line. Ever since Carrie Bradshaw uttered those words while she was mugged, Fendi baguette bags have attained legendary pop-culture status. But a new obsession might be giving this timeless bag a run for its money.

Introducing the crescent bag – the love child of the hobo and shoulder bag that is taking TikTok and Instagram by storm. The bag has several names, such as the half-moon and the croissant due to the shape of the satchel.
Why are Gen Zs and millennials so in love with the crescent bag? That’s largely due to the resurgence of Y2K trends, which paved the way for the crescent bag to re-enter the scene.

Crescent bags of the 2000s were usually made small and came in denim, canvas or neutral-coloured leather but the versions we see today have been updated with neon hues, exotic leather and colourful prints.
