If you haven’t visited Fendi Men’s at Level 2 of Takashimaya Shopping Centre, here’s a good reason to. Aside from being the first standalone men’s boutique in Southeast Asia, the newly renovated 123 sqm store stocks all-new goodies from the current Spring-Summer 2023 line-up.
From the compact Peekaboo ISeeU in five colours to ready-to-wear featuring the signature FF motif, plenty of pieces here will make your heart skip a beat.
Another standout item is a new basket bag, simply known as the Basket Forty8. At almost 48 cm wide (hence the name), the easy-breezy style offers lightweight appeal. It also has elements of the signature Peekaboo, such as the twist-lock frame and expandable side buttons. Except this time instead of leather, it uses recycled plastic with the geometric FF weave.
Some of you might recall that Fendi created a similar version for ladies several moons back. However, the size was tiny in comparison to this Basket Forty8 bag from the current menswear line. Not a fan of blue? The basket comes in a bright shade of orange as well.
While the unlined bag is meant to be a carryall, it also comes with a Cuoio Romano leather tie to keep the handles together if you prefer.The Basket Forty8, which is going for SGD1690, is an excellent choice for sunny summer days out and about.
