"FENDI" 80's Karl Lagerfeld design braided leather shoulder bag

Since the brand was founded in 1925

We are pleased to present you with some very rare pieces from FENDI, a brand that continues to captivate many celebrities and fashionistas and remains one of Italy's leading luxury brands.

This masterpiece embodies the craftsmanship cultivated in a Roman workshop and highlights the beauty of the braided leather.

In the 1980s, when Karl Lagerfeld joined Fendi and the brand made the leap from a fur brand to a fully-fledged luxury house, the brand produced many collections that quietly exuded presence through materials and handwork, somewhat different from its current style that puts logos and icons at the forefront.

The "FENDI ROMA" engraving on this bag is a detail that conveys the atmosphere of the time, when pride in Rome, the brand's roots, was inscribed in the products themselves, giving the impression of a special background that sets it apart from a mass-produced feel.

The entire body is woven with carefully aligned leather straps woven diagonally, and rather than a flashy logo that is immediately recognizable, the charm of this watch lies in the subtle quality it conveys through the shadows and three-dimensionality of the surface.

Each stitch is slightly rounded, and the tone of each surface changes when the light hits it, so even though it's black leather, it doesn't appear flat, and you can enjoy the way the soft sheen sways with your movements. A square patch of the same material is placed in the center of the flap, creating a subtle and intellectual accent that doesn't overly assertive and makes you feel the presence of the brand.

The strap is made of twisted cord rather than leather, so it fits comfortably around the shoulder when worn, and its slender line beautifully frames the silhouette.

The subtle sheen of the cord creates a contrast with the matte finish of the braided leather, and while the overall design is very minimalist, the contrast in the details can be clearly seen when viewed up close.

Rather than prominently displaying the logo, this bag tells the brand's story through the texture of the leather itself, the weaving technique, and the "FENDI ROMA" engraving, making it a perfect embodiment of "quiet luxury." Unlike the trendy big logo bags, this bag will never go out of style, and will last for a long time, adapting to the owner's age and style, with a design that is characteristic of old Fendi and has depth.

In terms of styling, simply draping it over your shoulder with a clean, genderless outfit such as a shirt or simple top paired with flowing slacks will give the entire outfit a more mature impression. Pair it with a minimalist dress or a high-quality knit and long skirt and it will become an iconic bag that quietly adds elegance without being too flashy.

Please take this opportunity.
