Yes it’s so vibrant and I love the pop of color.
Yes, i'm in europe but not located anywhere there is a shop, all Essentially gone from Fendi site (except a large mans one), a department store i France still has the Essentially in two colours, i feel pressure to commit. I think this style is the one for me. Anyone with multiple versions of peekaboo got any taught on this style vrs the more common(i'm not really wowed by the iseeu version).A while ago I was browsing the fendi US site and was surprised to see they released the essentially in selleria. There were several colors. Today I go back to take another look and all the essentially’s are gone? There is only one ostrich essentially on the site. Did the essentially get discontinued already? Has ISeeu replaced the essentially?
I ended up buying one pre-owned. I’m happy with the essentially, much more so than the mini peekaboo I used to have (that I sold and no longer have).
In these ways the essentially is better than the mini, for me:
1. Slightly larger size. Still looks cute (not huge like the medium peekaboo) but I can fit a small bottle of water as well
2. Larger opening on both sides. I was always struggling to open the mini and get stuff out, especially the rear compartment. I like keeping the sides buttoned. I think it looks nicer that way.
3. it’s more of a daytime size bag that can also transition to a nice dinner. The mini was so small I felt like it was more like an evening/“going out” bag. And I had the mini in selleria, which didn’t really match that purpose since selleria is more casual. I think mini is better in the delicate leathers like nappa because it’s small size makes is more “formal”. Selleria for essentially is great. I have a light pink color and I just use it without worry. Very casual and yet elegant enough for a nice dinner (the extent of my “going out” attire anyway.)
Btw, @Croker I contacted fendi us through chat on the website. The fendi salesperson who chatted with me was able to locate one essentially in stock. So even though they’ve disappeared from the website and the stores, they still have some inventory floating around. I’d contact fendi Europe and ask them to do a search before you feel like you have to settle for the two that are available at the department store
Thank you, this feedback is great to get from someone who has owned both, really appreciate it.
Wow - 20 cm at the bottom so I’m guessing an engineering project to get an iPhone max in there.
It’s cute but personally I’ll stick with a size I can fit actual stuff in (or my pockets which cost a lot less!).
I want to say 2020? I got
That for birthday that year but the white stitching on the handle looked a little frayed. I ended up returning it. I was so sad. Still miss it!
