· IN-BAG | FENDI Debuts Fall/Winter 2026 Bag Charms: Squirrel and Karl Lagerfeld Motifs ·

FENDI has just unveiled its new Fall/Winter 2026 bag charms — the "Squirrel" collection takes its cue from the nickname brand founder Edoardo Fendi gave his wife, while the "Karlito" collection offers a playful, cartoonish take on former artistic director Karl Lagerfeld, finished with mink and fox fur accents that make it equal parts cheeky and charming.

· The Squirrel & the Acorn ·

The little squirrel 🐿 was inspired by a painting Edoardo Fendi gave his wife, Adele Casagrande, because his beloved was always "busy as a squirrel." Crafted from beige felt into an adorable squirrel figure, the charm's standout feature is its big tail, made from color-blocked mink fur that feels plush and silky to the touch.

The acorn — the squirrel's favorite treat — is also part of the design, crafted from felt and color-blocked mink fur. The fun part? It opens up, so you can tuck away your tiny treasures inside~

· Karlito, the Kaiser ·

The "Karlito" figure pays tribute to the brand's late former creative director, Karl Lagerfeld. Fashioned from calfskin and nappa lambskin, this charm captures the Kaiser's signature black-and-white look, with a tie accented by FENDI's Cuneo triangular studs — a detail inspired by the punctuation marks found on ancient Roman stone columns. Two zippered compartments, one at the front and one at the bottom, let you stash small essentials, making this piece as practical as it is good-looking.

This Karlito charm has a distinctly rock-and-roll edge, with long highlighted braids paired with a lavish fur coat for a look that's effortlessly cool and stylish. The piece is crafted from fox fur, mink fur, and Kidassia goat hair, combined with calfskin and lambskin, for a finish that's luxurious and refined.
