Fendi has had some major designer collaborations in recent years (think: Versace, Tiffany & Co. and Skims), but its new partnership with Marc Jacobs is an undeniable highlight. As part of the Fendi Baguette’s 25th-anniversary celebrations, the Italian luxury house enlisted the talents of the American designer to reinvent the iconic bag and other Fendi staples. The result is a marriage of uptown chic and downtown cool that adds new life to old favourites.
