In episode three of And Just Like That…, Carrie Bradshaw was finally reunited with a long-lost item from her 90s wardrobe.
Back in season three of Sex and the City, in an episode titled “What Goes Around Comes Around,” Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) finds herself lost near Houston St., but when she goes to ask a man for directions, she ends up with a gun pointed at her chest. The first thing the mugger asks for? Her purple sequins Fendi Baguette.
“Give me your bag,” the robber tells her, to which she replies, “It’s a Baguette.” Relatively unfazed, the culprit runs away with the purse, some jewelry, and Carrie’s favorite pair of strappy Manolo Blahnik sandals.

Though Carrie seemed mostly perturbed about the loss of her shoes, the bag itself was absolutely iconic. Launched in 1997, the Fendi Baguette became an instant classic, thanks in no small part for its regular appearances on Sex and the City. Parker even reprised her role as Carrie Bradshaw in a 2019 ad campaign for Fendi when the brand decided to relaunch the coveted style.
In the commercial, a group of trendy New York women is on the hunt for the exact purple sequin Baguette stolen off Carrie in the HBO series. Unfortunately, they are thwarted by Parker, who already purchased the bag from the store.
“Ma’am, I need that bag,” one of the women shouts at Carrie Bradshaw, who responds, “Oh, this isn’t a bag. It’s a Baguette.”

Now, it seems that the commercial may actually be a part of Sex and the City canon because the purple Baguette is back in its rightful place on Carrie’s shoulder in episode 3 of the HBO Max reboot, And Just Like That…
One eagle-eyed fan noticed immediately, posting past and present images of the bag on Instagram. “It’s all in the details,” Evan Ross Katz wrote in the caption. Twenty-one years after Carrie was mugged on Jersey Street in Soho (“Give me your bag.” “What?” “Your bag.” “It’s a baguette.”), her iconic purple sequined Fendi Autumn/Winter 1999-2000 baguette re-emerged in the latest episode of AND JUST LIKE THAT, signifying Carrie’s return home.
Parker saw the Instagram post and responded, “Man you are good!!! X”
We love a happy ending, but I couldn’t help but wonder, “Did Carrie ever find her favorite strappy sandals?”
