FENDI opens exclusive Harrods pop-up to celebrate its FW26 collection

FENDI is launching not one but two exclusive pop-up boutiques at Harrods this month in celebration of its FW26 collection. Inviting shoppers to discover the maison's new designs, expert craftsmanship and timeless appeal, it's the perfect opportunity to be immersed in the world of the Italian luxury fashion house and shop the latest pieces. Open until Saturday 26 September 2026, the three-week pop-up spans two ground-floor spaces, and exudes traditional Italian warmth and welcome. The experience, however, really begins outside, where 24 striking window displays line the Brompton Road department store. With subtle nods to the runway set of chief creative officer Maria Grazia Chiuri's inaugural FW26 collection and digital displays featuring campaign visuals from acclaimed artist and photographer Jo Ann Callis, as well as new pieces from both men's and women's collections, the exterior sets the scene, and your journey very much begins before walking through the door. Once inside, guests will first encounter a space dedicated to the FW26 collection, showcasing a curated array of ready-to-wear, shoes and accessories for both men and women. It will also spotlight the brand new My Peekaboo® and Baguette® 26424 Re-Edition bags in the recently relaunched Selleria leather, as well as the Trunk Selleria. This space is very much a celebration of old and new, an ode to the maison's heritage, modern design sensibility, and legacy of tactility. The second space focuses on FENDI's expert craftsmanship, with the legendary Baguette® bag taking centre stage, namely the Baguette® 26424 Re-Edition introduced by Maria Grazia Chiuri earlier this year. Originally born in 1997 into an era of minimalism, the style returns in a vibrant spectrum of colours and textures, from metallic purple sequins to beads and embroidery. With more than 20 different designs on display, expect to be truly dazzled. Throughout the duration of the pop-up, there will also be daily live demonstrations from FENDI craftspeople, giving a behind-the-scenes look at how exactly two of the house's most iconic bags are made. Highlights include a spotlight on the needle techniques used by Mumbai-based Chanakya (FENDI's longstanding partner, which has been crafting the Baguette® since 1997), and the meticulous hand-stitching process used on the Peekaboo® Selleria, perfected by specialist craftsmen from the maison's leathergoods atelier in Capannuccia, Florence. From the heart of Rome to the centre of London, don't miss your chance to get up close to the people, stories and endlessly covetable collections that make FENDI one of the world's greatest luxury brands. The FENDI pop-up at Harrods is open until 26 September. Visit fendi.com for more information.
