THE FENDI PEEKABOO
A quick look into the iconic bag and 10 reasons why we can’t get enough of it
1 The Fendi Peekaboo derived its name from the classic childhood game, thanks to its defining feature— easy-to-open side pouches that are secured by a central turn lock closure, which when left unclasped offers a sneak peek into the interior of the bag.
2 These bags are aesthetically pleasing as they are functional. Each bag is split into two compartments that’s separated by a stiff partition in the middle ensuring that your belongings are well organised.
3 True to Fendi’s dedication to exceptional craftsmanship, each bag is crafted and handstitched by an artisan in Italy, ensuring top-notch quality for every piece.
4 Each bag is just as beautiful and functional on the inside out, as only super high-quality soft leathers are used to ensure longevity.
5 While the fashion industry is chockfull of “investment pieces”, this is one designer bag that has truly stood the test of time. The bag made its runway debut in 2008, and still continues to rise in popularity a decade later due to its timeless appeal.
6 The Peekaboo has a sleek trapezoid shape that’s understated, elegant and instantly recognisable. A single top handle (as opposed to the typical double top handle) makes it easy to carry, and an optional shoulder strap is a practical addition.
7 In tune with its minimalist look, the hardware is kept to a minimum, with the turn lock acting as both a decorative and functional feature. Rivets are placed at the base of the bag to prevent the leather from being scratched.
8 One of the best things about the Peekaboo? The myriad of options available. From ladylike iterations in pastels and neutral tones, to heavily embellished pieces and monster eyes for adventurous fashion fans, these bags are a collector’s dream and you won’t want to stop at just one!
9 The bags also come in a multitude of sizes, from large oversized totes that are functional enough for daily use, to mini purses that are perfect on a night out. The latest iteration is the Peekaboo Essentially, which is a petite version of the Peekaboo Essential, and meant to be worn crossbody.
10 Still can’t find the perfect combination? With the launch of Fendi’s made-to-order experience in 2012, fashionistas can customise their very own Peekaboo in any manner and fashion they desire. One of one? Now that sounds like the ultimate luxury.
