DOUBLE TAKE: CHLOÉ, FENDI, & DIOR!
During their respective Fall/Winter 2025-2026 shows, Chloé, Fendi, and Dior reintroduced a few of their most culture-defining pieces from the early to mid-2000s. We are talking about the handbags (& more!) that gave you a run for your money–quite literally.
If the timeless cool girls of Y2K were sporting these items, then you just know there’s a reason why they made a resurgence on this year’s runway circuit. And it wouldn’t be a fashion roundup without a little something from Ms. Carrie Bradshaw’s iconic closet making a necessary reappearance as well.
Snuggle up on your couch, stream a DCOM (translation for Gen Z: Disney Channel Original Movie), and we will fill you in on three of Deuxmoi’s favorite revisited designer items:
CHLOÉ PADDINGTON BAG:
Led under Phoebe Philo’s creative direction during the French designer’s Spring/Summer collection in 2005, celebrities could not get enough of this boho chic accessory after its initial debut. Mischa Barton wore it everywhere. Katy Perry held it by her side during the Russell Brand era. And Pink rocked it in Paris. Kelly Osbourne was a big vibe too.
The Paddington bag made an uproarious return during the March 6th, 2025 presentation at the Tennis Club de Paris. Repeating fashion history, the runway accompaniment will be back to complement this year’s upcoming chillier seasons.
FENDI SPY BAG:
Welcoming the Spy Bag into the Fendi family circa Spring 2005, the Italian luxury brand had an instant hit on its hands. From Nicki Minaj to Janet Jackson to Lindsay Lohan (#handonhip) to Mary-Kate Olsen, you had the “IT Factor” if you were toting this bag and perhaps it even loosely inspired The Row’s tote evolution…
Most recently, we spied supermodel Amelia Gray carrying a reimagined version of the bag during the designer’s February 26th centennial celebratory show and vintage lover Bella Hadid using the bag in NYC in 2022.
J'ADORE DIOR TEE:
Making its runway debut via the SS01 collection, this top is part of the Sex and the City hall of fame – thanks to a few famous faces. Flashback to Season 4, Episode 11 and PR titan Samantha Jones has lunch with a J’Adore-laden Lucy Liu in an attempt to gain her as a new client. (Later on, Samantha unsuccessfully uses Lucy’s name as ammunition in securing an Hermès Birkin)
But the SATC connections do not end there.
Enter Sex and the City 2: Carrie Bradshaw goes shopping in Abu Dhabi. Just what did she pair with her Zac Posen skirt when she bumps into ex Aidan Shaw? A certain Dior tee, of course.
It comes as no surprise that Dior brought this top back to the runway on March 4th, 2025.
So if you’re needing guidance in your next vintage purchase, a healthy dose of nostalgia, or a bit of a closet refresh, look no further. Just which throwback will say hello again next?
