Fendi shows the other designers how colorblocking should be done with this Chameleon Capra duffel bag.
Colorblocking often looks gimmicky and overly trend conscious, but not here. Fendi has carefully chosen complementary earth tones, and made most of the bag that delicious olive-brown. The fawn and gray hues are used sparingly so the effect doesn’t appear too overpowering.
The colorblocking finish is complemented by golden Fendi logos at the handles. These subtle metal accents are much more sedate than the branding Fendi typically uses, and the bag looks richer for it.
The only thing I’m unsure about is the bag’s shape. It’s unique but it slouches awkwardly around the sides. The last thing we want from a Fendi bag is awkward.
I appreciate the practical design, which has just enough extras to make us feel pampered. The platform base helps the bag sit up straight once it’s set down, while the metal studs ensure its leather stays protected. The handles are a shade too short for my liking, but Fendi helps us out with a detachable shoulder strap.
Fendi bags never come cheaply, so the Chameleon’s $2420 price tag shouldn’t come as a surprise. It’s not perfect, and at this price it probably should be, but I wouldn’t dismiss it if you’re in the mood for some retail therapy.
