Inspired by the Baguette, a handbag that was popularized by Sex And The City, Panera created the BAGuette. This accessory for fashion aficionados and foodies alike is the perfect size for toting around one of Panera's new Toasted Baguettes.
The 12" purse is styled in Panera green and it adds a pop of color, and functionality, to a wardrobe. Complete with an embossed pattern and a magnetic closure with a "P" buckle, this accessory promises to be the perfect companion for the all-new Green Goddess Caprese Melt, the Pepperoni Mozzarella Melt and the Smoky Buffalo Chicken Melt.
Just 500 BAGuette purses from Panera are available now for pre-sale and for a limited time in February, MyPanera members who purchase all three Toasted Baguette Sandwiches will be entered for a chance to win a purse of their own.
