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.
