Fendi

"Double F (Zucca), Baguette, savoir-faire fourrure"

Fendi is a luxury Italian fashion house founded in Rome in 1925 by Adele and Edoardo Fendi. Initially known for its exceptional furs, the house established itself in leather goods with the Baguette, created in 1997 by Silvia Venturini Fendi. This bag became a cult item thanks to Sex and the City and remains one of the most desirable in the world. The double F is one of luxury's most recognisable logos.

The Fendi models to know

On the secondary market, the value of a Fendi bag is decided first by the reference. Here are the lines our experts see most often — and those that resell best.

  • Baguette (1997) — The it-bag of the 2000s, star of Sex and the City.
  • Peekaboo (2009) — Structured elegance with a hidden clasp revealing the interior.
  • Fendi First (2021) — The latest icon sculpted in F.

The pre-owned Fendi market

Collectible leather goods remain the most liquid segment of the secondary market: rare models and neutral colours resell within days, while seasonal editions call for more patience.

How we authenticate a Fendi piece

Every piece that joins Monogram Paris follows the same protocol in our Paris workshops: no catalogue photography, no supplier imagery, only shots of the actual item.

  • Saddle stitching: regularity, angle and tension of the waxed linen thread
  • Heat stamp: depth, typeface and placement consistent with the archives
  • Hardware weighed and examined under a loupe (crisp engraving, original plating)
  • Zip, pull, lining and feet: original parts, or replacements disclosed
  • Entrupy analysis followed by a second expert review before listing

Care and storage

  • Keep the piece stuffed inside its dustbag, away from direct light
  • Avoid water, perfume and light leathers against new denim
  • Feed the leather once or twice a year with a balm suited to the hide
