Fendi has launched a series of playful handbags reminiscent of the 90s.
The plastic bags are made from recycled plastic with a tone-on-tone embossed leather Fendi stamp.
The lightweight carrying accessory is crafted from 100 percent recycled PVC, which is collected from the Fendi factory floor. Excess material from creating the luxury brand’s sneakers are collected and formed to create these cute plastic baskets that are available in four colors—pink, baby blue, yellow, and white.
The tote comes in two sizes—one big enough to fit your book and phone while another has room to fit a picnic mat. The bag has a leather clasp and an optional shoulder strap and is finished with gold-colored hardware.
The small-sized basket retails for £450 (US$620) while the medium-sized version is priced at £650 (US$895).
