The Find:
Silver Baby Phat is the loud one. This is the going-out bag of the 2000s, the metallic that catches every light in the room, built when Kimora Lee Simmons had the whole culture wearing the cat. The crackled gunmetal finish, the snakeskin trim, the charm overload, this is McBling done right and it predates every reissue trying to copy the era. Pieces this complete, with the original hardware intact, do not come around often.
The Details:
- Gunmetal silver metallic crackle body
- Silver-grey snake-embossed side gussets and top trim with silver pyramid studs
- Matching snake-embossed shoulder straps on silver-tone O-rings
- Signature Baby Phat cat-head zipper pulls
- Rhinestone-bordered silver "baby phat" nameplate on the front
- Embossed cat logo patch on the back
- Top zip closure
- Interior allover Baby Phat signature logo lining
- Interior zip pocket plus leather logo patch
- Styled with a chrome bow charm, silver beaded strands, a star-charm chain, and a jeweled crystal butterfly, all on keyrings so the charms lift off
Measurements:
14" W x 6" H x 5" D.
Condition:
Good vintage condition. The crackle metallic finish is distressed by design and shows light natural rubbing at the corners and along the straps, which is true to the era and the material. Hardware is bright and the cat pulls are intact. Interior lining is clean.
Authenticity:
Verified authentic by California Boho Studio. Interior "baby phat AUTHENTIC" woven tag with the registered cat logo, full signature logo lining, embroidered logo patches front and back, and the original cat-head zipper pulls all confirm a genuine Phat Fashions era piece.
