It’s time for another handbag review, and this time the late-aughts classic Fendi Peekaboo has gotten a flashy facelift in jacquard and silver crystal. Our editors huddled in the Interview closet with fashion interns Ife and Mollie to fantasize about pulling shooters and blinged-out iPhones from their sexy, structured seams.

MEKALA RAJAGOPAL: First of all, I’m obsessed with how tiny this jacquard one is. I don’t always care for micro bags, but I love a shrunken bag. A bag that looks like it’s supposed to be big, but it’s actually small.
MOLLIE JOHNSON: You could definitely fit everything you need.
RAJAGOPAL: You can fit at least 10 vapes in here.
JULIAN RIBEIRO: I like that it has diamonds on the top. I feel connected to any bag that looks like it’s wearing its own crown.
IFE IBRAHEEM: Oh, that’s a line. You need a fur coat with it.
JOHNSON: Like this one? [Points to coat]
IBRAHEEM: No, this one. A big white fur. Floor length, almost dragging.
JOHNSON: I would definitely take the sparkly one for a night out.
RAJAGOPAL: What club?
IBRAHEEM: I feel like you can’t take that to any New York club. Maybe like, Le Bain. I don’t know.
RIBEIRO: I think it does give Le Bain.
RAJAGOPAL: She’s going to be crusty and grimy. There’s going to be dirt between these Fs by the end of the night.
RIBEIRO: This bag is actually too nice to take to Le Bain.
JOHNSON: It would dress up any outfit. Just add a bit of sparkle.
RAJAGOPAL: To me, this is giving catsuit. Like, black Escalade, catsuit, big glasses, IG baddie down, with my Peeka-Birkin.
RIBEIRO: It’s the kind of bag they would steal in The Bling Ring. Paris Hilton has this bag.
JOHNSON: And you would pull one of those bedazzled phone cases out of it.
RIBEIRO: The crystals make a little rainbow in the light. Maybe this is someone’s pride moment.
IBRAHEEM: It’s the coming out bag.
RIBEIRO: I want someone to pull a drink out of it on a parade float.
IBRAHEEM: We could fit shooters in here too. Just the shooters.
RAJAGOPAL: You can’t really take this outside. This is like, car, plane, club, another club, another club, no sleep.
IBRAHEEM: What are you drinking with this bag? Champagne?
RIBEIRO: Maybe a better question is, “Are you paying if you’re drinking with this bag?”
RAJAGOPAL: Exactly.
RIBEIRO: This is a sugar baby bag.
IBRAHEEM: This is Erika Jayne.
RIBEIRO: This is the pretty mess. I would bet it all on blonde with this bag.
IBRAHEEM: There’s a lot of storage inside.
RAJAGOPAL: She’s got card holders. She’s definitely functional.
IBRAHEEM: What’s her sign?
RAJAGOPAL: She’s a Leo.
IBRAHEEM: 100%.
JOHNSON: And the jacquard is a Capricorn.
RIBEIRO: That makes perfect sense.
JOHNSON: I’m a Capricorn, so I think I should just take it now. It could work with what I’m wearing.
RAJAGOPAL: I think so. So cute.
