Designer IIaria Venturini Fendi has shown off her designer skills at her family label's accessories division.
This is a different kind of Fendi bag.
It has funky and flare added to it.
Her own line is called Carmina Campus; her label has been dedicated since its founding to sustaining artisan
crafts in Africa, which she combines with recycled materials from Italy
for her bags.
"Carmina Campus is an entirely separate company from Fendi, which is
owned by LVMH, but Ilaria is Fendi accessories designer Silvia Venturini
Fendi’s sister."
The collection shown above is a collection she calls A Journey Through Dumpsters, Venturini Fendi uses black
plastic garbage bags, doubled and reinforced for a glossy, slick look;
the recycled sacks, she says, take on a vintage look, “like old skins.”
Her inspiration came from touring dump sites in Kenya and Uganda, where marginalized workers make a living sifting through trash for recyclable
materials.
"she’s relaunched the collection’s Dragon bags, with intricate patchwork
panels made from fabric scraps from kangas and shukas, the traditional
drapes worn by Masai warriors."
I love that Venturini Fendi designs to help those who are in need.
The gifted and the giving!
