In honor of National Handbag Day, a day observed by fashionistas everywhere, Fendi’s iconic Peekaboo bag was given its own book along with a new capsule for the Fall/Winter season.
Dedicated to the concept, craftsmanship, continuous evolution, innovation, and the numerous interpretations that the bag abides by season after season, with altering shapes, scales, wearability, materials, and personality, the book is a must-have for global fans of the label. An eccentric yet contemporary addition to the label, Silvia Venturini Fendi created a bag that would be in sync with a child—ever-changing, and consistently animated, forging the title “Peekaboo”.
The Peekaboo bag’s signature geometric trapezoid structure is a nod to sleek minimalism with contrasting textures and colors, creating a unique experience for the wearer. Like the bag, the Peekaboo-K (the house’s newest fashion tome) constructs an unexplored adventure, illustrating the essence of the Peekaboo and its multifaceted characteristics. The limited-edition book is designed with three-dimensional construction, inspired by the colors of the Rose Black Peekaboo ISeeU bag.
Inside, readers will find an introduction in the form of a conversation fueled by three women from generations of the Fendi family– Silvia Venturini Fendi, Delfina Delettrez Fendi, and Leonetta Luciano Fendi. The book carries a photography collection of 80 bags from the Maison’s archive, separated into four distinctive chapters.
Revising textures is the first chapter, focusing on the design and status symbol of the Peekaboo. Canvas serves as the title for the second chapter, highlighting the many different variations of the bag that diverse creatives have done in collaboration with Fendi over the years. Eclectic Instinct is the third chapter, with a focus on the playful spirit of the handbag, and FENDI Graphia is the fourth chapter- discussing the Peekaboo’s heritage and multifarious logomania.
Alongside the Peekaboo-K, the Maison celebrates National Handbag Day with the release of the Shearling Interlace Capsule, perfectly developed for this Autumn/Winter. For the capsule, the Peekaboo ISeeU Medium and Small are designed with signature interlace workmanship and warm shearling.
To create the bag, Fendi artisans put pattern and embroidery at the forefront, cutting shearling strips in shape and meticulously hand-waving them into drilled leather panels. The iconic Selleria macro stitching also adorns several of the bags in the collection. An assortment of colors to choose from include beige, chocolate brown and mint, brown, and white and beige.
The Peekaboo-K is available on fendi.com and on display in select Fendi boutiques worldwide. The new capsule collection is also on fendi.com and Fendi boutiques.
