Examining the Backstage: Fendi's Compact Peekaboo Bag
In the heart of Tuscany, Italy, the Fendi Mini Peekaboo bag comes to life at the brand's factory, a testament to Italian craftsmanship and artisanal skill. Each bag is a unique masterpiece, crafted with meticulous attention to detail and a blend of traditional techniques [1][3].
The journey begins with a sketch, a one-of-a-kind design that sets the stage for the bag's creation. The Selleria Cuoio Romano leather, vegetable-dyed in various colours, is then carefully cut and perforated, preparing it for the signature Selleria stitch [2].
The bags are hand-stitched by skilled artisans using traditional tools, a process that ensures the highest quality and a distinctively Fendi style [1]. Once stitched, the metal bar, the heart of the bag, is added. This bar maintains the bag's shape without adding excess weight [3].
The locks, hardware, handles, and removable strap are added next, followed by the painting of the edges in a complementary or contrasting colour [2]. The Peekaboo bag is designed to slouch open, showcasing the luxurious lining within [4].
For those seeking a more personalised touch, the made-to-order program offers clients the opportunity to customise every aspect of the handcrafted bags, including choosing the material, stitching, and hardware [5]. Luxury options include crocodile bags with solid-gold hardware studded with diamonds [5].
This intricate and meticulous process, carried out by skilled artisans in Tuscany, results in a finely finished product that reflects Fendi's longstanding tradition of Italian craftsmanship [1]. The made-to-order program is available at select Fendi boutiques and special events around the world [6].
