Fendi unveils a colorful, studded women’s capsule collection at Saks Fifth Avenue

Browsing through the tightly-edited, new offering of Fendi clutches, sandals and jeans studded with bold geometric studs might be a good way to get you into the mood for the impending holiday shopping season.

The venerable Italian brand, in partnership with Saks Fifth Avenue, has unveiled 16 pieces from an exclusive women’s capsule collection adorned with colorful studs. It is an aesthetic inspired by the Fendirumi characters — the plush and criminally cute mascots unveiled by Fendi earlier this year — which have popped up in the form of handbag charms ($1,500 at fendi.com). Think of the Fendirumi characters and this new women’s holiday collection as the luxury brand’s answer to those colorful trolls and their related merchandise tie-ins for the upcoming “Trolls” movie.

The special Fendi footwear, clothing and accessories pieces, which are priced from $650 to $3,050, will be rolled out at the Saks Beverly Hills store this weekend for the holiday season. Among the selections is a nifty rectangular pouch, a structured backpack and a cropped sweater — all with strategically placed studs across their surface. The Fendirumi characters will also be on hand at Saks for the launch event from 12:30 to 5:30 p.m. today, no doubt inciting the inevitable Instagram selfie.

Saks chief merchant Tracy Margolies said that “partnering with Fendi was a fantastic way to highlight the brand’s iconic product as well as create an immerse experience for our customers.”

The collection is also available at select Saks stores around the country, including those in New York, San Francisco, Phoenix and Boston, as well as online at saksfifthavenue.com.
