Get up to 22% back on Fendi in Europe with your VAT refund. Baguette Bag, Peekaboo ISeeU, First Small Bag across 3 stores. Rome flagship.
Founded in Rome in 1925 by Adele and Edoardo Fendi as a fur and leather shop, Fendi evolved into a global luxury powerhouse. Karl Lagerfeld joined as Creative Director in 1965, introducing the iconic double-F “FF” logo and transforming the brand with innovative fur techniques and playful designs. The Baguette bag, created by Silvia Venturini Fendi in 1997, became a cultural phenomenon after appearing on Sex and the City—Carrie Bradshaw famously corrected a mugger: “It’s not a bag, it’s a Baguette.” Today, Fendi remains synonymous with Roman luxury, leather craftsmanship, and the whimsical Fendi monogram.
Fendi is a Roman brand with deep Italian heritage, making Europe the best place for authentic shopping experiences and exclusive collections. With 12-22% VAT refunds, a €3,500 Peekaboo becomes €2,730-€3,080 after refund—compared to $4,500+ US pricing, saving $800-$1,200. Rome's flagship offers bespoke customization services unavailable in the US.

You must validate your VAT refund at your last EU point of departure, not your final destination.
