Fendi created a series of colorful luxury baskets that help to repurpose plastic waste in a fashion-forward way. The small and medium plastic baskets boast 90s styles and are lightweight, yet useful for carrying essentials for everyday use. The bags are made with 100% recycled PVC that's collected off the floor of the factory that makes the luxury brand's sneakers.
The pink, blue, yellow and white bags can be carried by the two handles with a leather clasp or worn over the shoulder when a Strap You is added. The net-like design of the bags makes them perfect for adding on a variety of charms and accessories to show off an individual sense of style.
