Although Fendi was initially founded in 1925 as a fur and leather goods shop, the Italian fashion label only began gaining recognition for their stylish bag designs in the 1960s. Thanks to the creative direction of Karl Lagerfeld, Fendi was catapulted into the forefront of the luxury fashion industry, receiving praise for their exquisite craftmanship and sophisticated collections.
That said, it's safe to conclude that nearly every Fendi bag you come across will most likely be worth the investment. Still, there are a few specific must-have bags that fully embody the brand's essence of opulence and style. Learn more about these key pieces below and take note of anything that catches your eye!
