No, Parker did not leave home in a hurry and simply neglect to close her top-handle Fendi purse. When it went down the spring 2026 runway, the bag was left deliberately unfastened—allowing viewers to glimpse its glittering sequined lining. Forget shelf appeal: With this bag, it’s what’s on the inside that counts!
Fendi is not the only luxury label to embrace the wide-open bag trend, either: We saw similar styles at Loewe, Chanel, and Louis Vuitton. Sure, you could call this movement a pickpocket’s dream—Attenzione, pickpocket!—but there’s also something rather chic and insouciant about it, no? When you’re fabulous enough, maybe you just don’t care if your phone or wallet suddenly goes missing.

The question is: Can Parker—an enduring trendsetter—take the polarizing open bag mainstream? She was, after all, almost singlehandedly responsible for the Fendi Baguette craze during her Sex and the City days.
Feeling tempted? Maybe ease your way into the look by carrying the bag…but having somebody else carry your valuables.
