The fashion world loves a good comeback story and Fendi’s centenary celebration delivers one in style. First launched in 2005, the Silvia Venturini Fendi-designed Spy Bag defined the early 2000s with its slouchy silhouette, hidden pocket and effortlessly cool attitude. Now, two decades on, the icon returns in an all-new mini size, refreshed and ready for 2025.
More than a nostalgic revival, this comeback reflects Fendi’s commitment to evolution over replication. The new Mini Spy is a compact powerhouse measuring just 15 cm wide by 12.5 cm high. The once-hidden pocket transforms into a sleek magnetic flap, lending a cleaner, more refined silhouette that feels modern yet true to its roots.
Crafted from sumptuous, supple leather, its design prioritises both form and function. Twisted leather handles offer a comfortable hand-carry style, perfect for day-to-night transitions. For added versatility, a removable and adjustable strap transforms it into a chic shoulder or crossbody companion.
While classic hues like black and beige are easy-to-match neutrals, vibrant red and baby pink inject a playful, on-trend energy to the Mini Spy. For maximum impact, the standout edition in printed calfskin with a ‘pony’ effect delivers texture, attitude and instant statement appeal.
The Mini Spy proves that a bag doesn’t need size to hold significance. Priced at SGD3490 for classic leather and SGD4100 for printed calfskin, this modern icon is already shaping up to be one of Fendi’s most covetable reissues yet.
