Fendi began in Rome in 1925, when Adele and Edoardo Fendi opened their first boutique. Leatherwork remains central to its heritage, with Selleria stitching tracing its roots to Roman saddlery. Bags such as the Baguette and Peekaboo reflect the house’s focus on distinctive accessories. Visible stitching, textured leather and attention to construction connect these designs with a craft tradition that also appears in its clothing.
