Debates about bag styles may continue season after season, but a timeless accessory is one that delivers all its contradictions. Imagined by creative director Kim Jones, Fendi’s spring/summer 2024 show was indicative of all that the Italian luxury fashion house has become beloved for. Boasting an out-of-this-world set, life-sized accessory icons loomed over attendees in brilliant white, and their real-life counterparts such as the First, Peekaboo, Baguette and Origami bags made their way down the runway in a careful curation of colour-blocked neutrals and sparkling accents.
Clothes-wise, the models were decked out in knitwear separates with bold cutouts, silk dresses as well as sumptuous leather pieces in a colour-blocked palette of browns, oranges, blues and greys. Effortlessly introduced as part of the mix was the Fendi Flip, an equally colour-blocked clutch that made its debut—styled in 12 different ways—at the show on Via Solari 35 in Milan. With an iconic ‘F’ embossed logo, which doubles up as a flap that reveals different colours on each side, the Fendi Flip combines house hallmarks with contemporary versatility. As for the season’s hottest colour combinations? A delectable brown, fiery red and dusty blue, coupled with an alternative selection of yellow, beige and light blue.
The bag offers its versatility in both its make and array of sizes. For one, it is available in three different iterations: a large and medium carry-all as well as a nano version. While the first two can be worn over the shoulder or under the arm as a clutch, the nano offers the option to be worn as a cross-body chain, or better yet, a bag charm.
The sizes aren’t limiting, though. Fashioned out of soft, supple leather, the Fendi Flip, though compact at first glance, unveils a surprisingly roomy interior. Add this brand new Fendi family favourite to your collection for a seamless option that will take you from day to night with ease.
