The making of the Fendi Hand in Hand Baguette Made For A Woman in Madagascar

The Maison is proud to present its latest Hand in Hand #FendiBaguette created with Made For A Woman in Madagascar.
Conceived across Italy in 2020 and expanded worldwide to the USA, Japan, China, and Scotland, #FendiHandinHand is a grassroots partnership between Fendi and local artisans that celebrates the #FendiBaguette by Artistic Director of Accessories and Menswear Silvia Venturini Fendi as an icon of the Maison and an instantly recognisable canvas for perpetual transformation.
The Baguette crafted by Made For A Woman reinterprets traditional Malagasy designs into an intricate pattern of different stitches. Working with locally sourced raphia, the artisans created the bag from four different crochet squares tied together, outlined by three-toned raphia with fringed edges. A macramé braid runs over the Baguette, its flap and shoulder strap, embellished with exquisite carnelian beads.
