The making of the Baguette

To mark the exhibition, Fendi worked with artisans AXiWuZhiMo, head of the "Yi Needle Yi Thread" professional embroidery cooperative, and LeGuShaRi, whose family have been crafting silver jewelry for 14 generations, to create a Baguette in velvety black fabric embroidered with blue, green and aqua silk threads, and lined in green silk satin with a 925 sterling silver FF buckle and ornaments.

Fendi also invited local artists Chen Fenwan, Lu Pingyuan and Ni Youyu  to customise the iconic Peekaboo in their own styles.
