Fast forward to 2008, both Fendi and specialty boutique Kirna Zabête are introducing their takes on the collectible playthings.
Fendi, in celebration of the tenth anniversary of its cult Baguette bag, has issued a limited-edition of 10 miniature Bearbricks, each personalized with the fashion house’s logo in the same bright, cheery hues as the 10 anniversary-edition Baguettes. Fashioned in three different sizes, including the macro 1000% edition), the super fashionable Japanese toys, however, won’t be available to the public. Instead, Fendi will install the robots in their store windows in the coming months. A handful of VIP clients, however, have been earmarked to receive them as a personal thank you for being loyal Fendi devotees and shoppers. Look out for an eBay near you.
