About Silvia Venturini Fendi
Her compact Baguette, introduced in 1997, turned the shoulder bag into a recognizable fashion icon, while the Peekaboo appeared on the spring/summer 2009 runway, presented in 2008. Her work also encompassed menswear and, later, womenswear. The bags shown here pair her accessories leadership with Fondazione Lisio’s textile craftsmanship. In October 2025 she became Fendi’s Honorary President.
