Fendi launches Emily in Paris capsule collection

FENDI has launched a special capsule collection to celebrate the 5^th season of the Netflix series Emily in Paris, which premiered on Dec. 18. Available in a limited release in selected Fendi boutiques worldwide and at fendi.com, the exclusive collection puts the spotlight on Fendi’s icons, with two Baguette bags and one Peekaboo bag designed to capture the spirit of the show reinterpreted with the House’s codes. Each piece features a dedicated tag and is crafted with a tapestry-effect fabric with the Fendi Dots motif — a blend of the FF logo and Art Deco-inspired polka dots, offered in color-block combinations of brown and pink or dove and mint green. The capsule collection highlights the brand’s relationship with the show, enhanced by a presence of Fendi in Season 5 where viewers will witness Emily Cooper (Lily Collins) embark on Roman adventures with the Baguette bag at the Fendi Headquarters at Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana and Palazzo Fendi flagship store.
