Fendi Peekaboo Canvas Tote | Chic And More Affordable Canvas Take On A Classic Designer Bag

Posted on: Jul 10

The Peekaboo is Fendi's answer to the Hermes Birkin Bag. It's classic, understated, and very expensive. With this new canvas version, Fendi is trying to make luxury available to a wider audience. The problem is that it ends up delivering a great bag at a still less-than-reasonable price, as usual.

While I feel indignant about the possibility of spending $1,980 on a canvas tote, I know that for some women this is an entirely reasonable price to pay for an everyday bag. For those women, the canvas Peekaboo is a great investment. The black canvas is durable, and it has a slightly more casual look than leather.

The contrast between the deep black material of the bag and the brown leather accents gives the tote a preppy, conservative look that is timelessly chic. The leather also gives the bag a richer look, and makes it seem altogether less tote bag-y and more handbag-y.

The Peekaboo has a modern, tailored look that is set off nicely by the simple turnlock closure and understated gold hardware. The base is made of leather and has logo-embossed feet that extend the rich appearance and reinforces the strength of the bag. Overall, the Peekaboo is a fabulous bag with major uptown appeal, and women who want a classic bag to take them well into the next generation are going to find themselves well served by it.
