FENDI: THE HAND IN HAND PROJECT

A Journey into the Heart of Italian Craftsmanship to Celebrate Fendi's Baguette with a Unique Sewing Kit 

The Hand in Hand project by Fendi was initiated to honor Italian artisanal excellence. Starting with the Baguette, the iconic bag designed by Silvia Venturini Fendi in 1997, the project involved 20 ateliers, one for each region of Italy. Each workshop reinterpreted the Baguette using their distinct techniques and traditions, transforming it into a true masterpiece of craftsmanship. This journey across Italy not only pays tribute to the products but also to the artisans and the transmission of their savoir-faire from generation to generation.


In the realm of Italian luxury and craftsmanship, the collaboration between Lorenzi Milano and Fendi for the Hand in Hand project is a testament to excellence and tradition. This initiative saw the reimagining of the celebrated Baguette bag, enriched by the expertise of artisans from all over Italy. Among them, the historic Milanese workshop Lorenzi stands out, having created a unique piece with extraordinary details and a hidden kit.

 

Inside the Baguette crafted by Lorenzi Milano lies a precious sewing kit made of white mother-of-pearl. This kit includes spools of thread, ribbon holders, needle cases, a thimble, a tape measure, and a pair of scissors with intricate ajouré detailing. These tools, reminiscent of ancient embroidery art, represent a perfect blend of functionality and beauty, making the Baguette not just a fashion accessory but a collector's item.

 


Mother-of-pearl, with its unique iridescence, is a material Lorenzi Milano uses to create objects of rare beauty. For the Hand in Hand Baguette, the FF buckle and the kit tools were crafted from a single piece of white Australian mother-of-pearl. This natural material, admired and imitated worldwide, embodies nature's perfection and authentic beauty, making each piece unique and unrepeatable.

 

Participating in the Hand in Hand project has been an honor and privilege for Lorenzi Milano. This collaboration has allowed the merging of skills and cultural backgrounds of two entities that, although operating in different ways, share the same passion for craftsmanship. The opportunity to interpret Silvia Venturini Fendi's vision by combining leather with mother-of-pearl has been a unique chance to express creativity and mastery.


The collaboration between Lorenzi Milano and Fendi in the Hand in Hand project is a splendid example of how Italian craftsmanship can be celebrated and valued through the work of artisanal excellence. The Baguette, with its secret mother-of-pearl kit, is not just a luxury accessory but also a collector's item that tells the story of a passion passed down through generations. This blend of tradition and innovation is a true tribute to the beauty and quality characteristic of Made in Italy.

 

Through the Hand in Hand project, Fendi and Lorenzi Milano have shown that Italian craftsmanship is alive and continues to captivate with its timeless beauty. This collaboration celebrates not only artisanal mastery but also the value of the people who create unique works of art with their hands. The Lorenzi Milano Baguette, with its secret kit, is a tribute to this excellence and an example of how tradition can meet innovation, creating pieces that will continue to be admired for generations.
