Thinking As Contradictions

A Fendi staple since creative director Silvia Venturini Fendi created it in 2008, the Peekaboo remains one of the only bags that truly represents what a day-to-night bag should be.

Thinking As Contradictions

When Silvia Venturini Fendi designed the Peekaboo for men, it was unlikely she imagined the significance it would take on today. "For many years, men have had a very basic closet," she confessed in an interview. It was September 2008 and Silvia Venturini - who oversees the designs of menswear and accessories - offered women a solution to their growing desire for a bag that translates from day to night. Her experimentations led to the creation of a structural tote with an accordion that opens in a deep "smile", exhibiting all signs of seriousness on its exterior and a tinge of playfulness hidden in its lining. The bag also features pockets that can be interchangeable in smooth leather or precious skins, and personalised with one's initials.
