Fendi’s celebrated FF monogram is surely no stranger to you. But did you know that the brand has another signature pattern? It was the late Karl Lagerfeld who created the Pequin in 1983, back when he was artistic director of Fendi couture and womenswear. The subtle logo pattern is a design of perfectly proportional stripes traced with subtle Fendi lettering.
This season, the Pequin returns, infusing the allure of Rome’s dolce vita into the Roll Shopper Bag. What’s really interesting is that the archival style first debuted in 1997 together with the iconic Baguette bag. In fact, they work as a pair by styling the latter over the shopper handle for a cute two-in-one look.

A functional, timeless carryall, the reimagined Roll now boasts a reversible format. It features the Pequin stripe on one side and the FF motif on the other for the best of both worlds. This means you can easily switch up your look by flipping the tote inside out whenever you like. Essentially that’s two bags in one for double the joy.
The reversible shopper bag comes in a choice of two sizes. Measuring 23 cm by 19.5 cm by 15 cm, the small size (SGD2250) works as a great grab-and-go option.
The large size (SGD2590), at 35 cm by 32 cm by 19.5 cm, makes for a roomy carryall. Whichever size you choose, it comes with a removable inner zip pocket for easy organisation, as well as long leather handles for comfortable shoulder wear.
Crafted in jacquard fabric, the reversible Roll sees the Pequin stripe in sophisticated neutrals against fresh summer hues. Pick from Beige, Blue and Yellow or Beige, Light Blue and Midnight Blue for the small and large sizes respectively.
In other words, perfectly coordinated summer shades that you can take straight from the city to the beach.
