This bag, you see, it’s called a Fendi Mon Tresor Bucket Bag. Sounds fancy, don’t it? But it’s just a bag, like what you carry your taters in, only smaller and costs more than a whole harvest! They sell ’em at them specialty stores, where everything’s got a big price tag. I seen ’em once when I went to the city with my daughter.
Now, this Fendi, it’s some Italian name. They make all sorts of things, like shoes and coats, and even them smelly waters. But these bags, they’re what everyone’s hollerin’ about. They started makin’ ’em a long time ago, way back in 1925, I hear tell. That’s before I was even a twinkle in my daddy’s eye! An old fella named Edoardo and his wife, Adele started it.
They got this big place in Italy, in the countryside, where they make all these fancy things. They call it a “factory”, I heard them saying it was 30,000-square-meter. I don’t know what that is, but it must be real big! They make these bags there, I reckon. Lots of ’em.
These Fendi Mon Tresor bags, they come in all sorts of colors. I seen a brown one, all leather, with these little “F”s all over it. They call it a “motif.” And it’s got this gold, shiny stuff on it. “Hardware,” they call it. It’s like the buckle on my old belt, only shinier. You can carry it with a little handle, or a long strap, so you can sling it over your shoulder. Handy, I suppose, if you’re carryin’ a lot of things and don’t wanna drop ’em.
- Fendi Mon Tresor Bucket Bag – that’s the name.

- Fendi – that’s the folks who make ’em.

They say it’s “iconic.” Whatever that means. Just means it’s popular, I guess. Everyone wants one. Even though they cost a fortune. These young girls are walking with it, holding it like it was gold. They’re so happy, so proud, so silly. It’s just a bag!
Some of these Fendi bucket bags are small, real small. “Mini,” they call ’em. Just big enough for your lipstick and maybe a little bit of money. Not much else. I don’t know what you’d put in one of them little things. But they’re popular, too. They call it a “trend.” Everybody’s doin’ it. They all want a Fendi bucket bag mini.
And there are different kinds of these bags. Some are soft, like a lamb. They call it “shearling.” And it’s got them “F”s on it, too. They say it is a “drawstring bucket”. Means you can pull it closed with a string, like a feed sack. Keeps things from fallin’ out, I reckon.
You can buy these bags in them specialty stores, where they sell all them fancy brands. This one is Fendi brand. You can find them all over the place, I hear. Even online, where you can buy anything these days. But be careful, some of those online stores, they might try to sell you a fake one. You gotta be sure you’re gettin’ the real deal. You don’t want to be payin’ all that money for somethin’ that ain’t real. If you are not sure, go to the Fendi specialty stores.
I seen ’em listed for sale, these Fendi Mon Tresor bags. Seventeen of ’em, all different, I guess. And they was all on sale. From $1, they say. That’s cheap. But I bet they go up from there. Way up. I can’t imagine why anyone would spend so much on a bag, but they do. Every day. It’s a mystery to me.
They say, “It’s not just a bag, it’s a Fendi Baguette.” Like it’s somethin’ special. Like it’s made of gold or somethin’. But it’s just a bag. A Fendi Mon Tresor bucket bag. Remember that. A small one is a Fendi bucket bag mini. It holds your things. That’s all. This bag can be found at Fendi specialty stores. Don’t let ’em fool you. It’s a nice bag, I suppose. If you like that sort of thing. And if you got the money to spend on such foolishness. Me? I’ll stick to my old cloth bag. It’s served me well for years. And it didn’t cost me an arm and a leg, and maybe a kidney, too.
