We usually prefer our baguettes stuffed with ham and cheese, but thanks to Panera there's a new baguette that people on social media are absolutely eating up—literally and figuratively.
Earlier this month, Panera announced that it would be creating and selling the BAGuette bag, and actual handbag kinda shaped like a baguette. For those wondering just how stylish a $39.50 handbag created by a cafe chain can be, we're here to tell you that the BAGuette bag is actually chic. We're talking Carrie Bradshaw levels.
Not only has Panera's BAGuette bag sneakily become the new "it' bag, it also comes with an actual baguette!
"The purse is donned in the beloved Panera green, designed for those looking for a pop of color and a unique touch of style in their wardrobe...At 12” long, the BAGuette is the perfect size to carry one of our new Toasted Baguette sandwiches," reads a description of the bag.
Unfortunately, the bag is currently sold out following a presale that began on February 7. But don't give up hope! The bag has been the subject of a number of videos on social media, with many expressing their disappointment at it being sold out. And thanks to their rallying cries, a second presale could soon be on the way!
"Why did Panera come out with a purse and why is it so nice? By the way, $40. And it comes with a sandwich. Why is it sold out?" asked TikTok user @marwaelhamasy in a video shared last week.
There is a glimmer of hope in the comments section of @marwaelhamasy's video, which has received 1.4 million views. The official Panera TikTok account commented that they are "baking up another batch…2/14"
Looks like we have a completely different reason to mark our calendars for February 14 this year.
