Fendi vintage costume jewelry
One of the oldest Italian fashion houses, Fendi has been creating clothing, leather and fur products, perfumes and accessories for more than 100 years! However, the company made costume jewelry for a short period 1980-1990s.
Founded in 1918 by Adele Casagrande, originally it was as a leather and fur shop in Rome on Via del Plebizio. In 1925, Adele married Eduardo Fendi and they decided to change their name to Fendi.
After the end of WWII, all five daughters of the Fendi couple joined the company: Paola, Anna, Franca, Carla and Alda. The most important business decision of the sisters was the invitation of the young German designer Karl Lagerfeld. As a creative director, he came up with the famous Fendi logo for the House.
Traditionally, Fendi vintage decorations – statement jewelry of bold designs and catching eye massive earrings, brooches and necklaces. Made of textured metal or sterling silver tone, with the use of gold plating, enamel, glass and faux pearls, all pieces have logo FF on the back or front side, or just signed Fendi.
