Accessory alert!
FENDI
The Summer 2010 bags and belts look soothing on the surface, but retain the classy spunk that is synonymous with the brand name. Floral motifs and scalloped edges lend a delicate feel, but the glint of acrylic and metal puts in a strong vibe. Canvas, linen and Nappa leather come in colours ranging from ivory and camel to bright green and lilac. The famous double F logo provides the finishing touch.
