At first I thought it was rather silly to buy a $1300 Fendi Baguette that comes with ten markers so I can draw my own design on it, even if it is Fendi. And I’m not pulling out my credit card anytime soon, but there is some merit to having a purse of this sort.

This kit from Fendi comes with a white canvas baguette with “F” magnetic closures and ten markers so you can draw on your own design. If you are in the Fendi handbag market and have an artistic bend, consider this – would you like a upscale purse to document the major events of your life on? As the years go by, write a date or doodle a picture on the bag – marriage, a career-making event, children, first house, grandchildren – and proudly wear it through the years. Seems like it will be a great little clutch to bring along to your 50th anniversary party – and will provide a conversation piece each time you wear it in the years to come.

Think of it as a rather expensive patchwork quilt. But cheaper and more fun than getting a tattoo removed…

Find it at Neiman Marcus for $1300.
