Fendi Peekaboo
The Fendi Peekaboo is one of the best-known handbag designs from the Italian luxury label Fendi. Since its launch in 2008, it has come to symbolise an unmistakable blend of classic elegance and modern design. Its defining features are its clean silhouette, the distinctive twist lock and the unique construction, which allows one side of the bag to be opened slightly, revealing the interior. It is precisely this playful detail that gave the Peekaboo its name.
