The old saying goes a little something like this: if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. In the case of Fendi‘s new update to one of its most popular and classic bags, that couldn’t be further from the truth. I’ll happily admit that this saying does not apply to the Fendi Peekaboo X-Lite. I’m loving this slouchy, but sleek and incredibly chic update to the Fendi Peekaboo, and today I’ve got a treat for you: a look at one of my favorite picks from this new line, a stunning dark green suede beauty.
Think of this bag as the Peekaboo’s slouchy little sister. It’s less structured and, in a way, less—dare I say—stuffy, though it’s still incredibly sleek and, like its predecessor, it’s sure to be an instant classic. I love that this bag is big, and in the age of endless mini bags, that’s like a breath of fresh air. It’s the perfect bag to tote around during the day, and it can easily carry whatever it is you may need to take you from work to play. The best part is, it instantly elevates any outfit. I’m simply obsessed, and I wish my daily looks were chic enough to warrant snagging this bag.
The Peekaboo X-Lite is exactly what you would expect given its name–a super lightweight bag that’s easy to carry. It feels great when handheld by the top handle strap, just as it does draped in the crook of your arm. Made of a beautiful, soft suede, this bag feels as luxurious as it looks. Thin straps on the side of the bag allow this bag to be styled a few ways. You can wear it with the straps open, so that you can see the interior pocket, but when styled to show you the details of this bag, it sits best with the side straps closed and secure.
The inside of this bag is super roomy and though the only thing keeping the interior closed is a beautiful gold turncock, minimally engraved with ‘FENDI’, there is also a fairly large interior pocket with a snap, which is a great feature if you wish to keep your wallet or other items secure. I love that this pocket is not only a functional feature of the Peekaboo X-Lite, but it also adds a bit of a flair if you style the bag more open. Overall dimensions of the Peekaboo X-Lite are 12.6″H x 16.9″W x 5.5″D, which retails for $4,550. Not your average day bag this bag will certainly stand out amongst the crowd if you’re willing to pay the price. What are your thoughts on this new update to the Peekaboo?
That it is lightweight is a huge plus for me. I avoid structured bags because the added material for structurizing gives the bag weight even when empty. And I love how unpretentiously elegant the bag looks.
This bag is definitely elegant! I love the color as well.
intrigued (however price point does give pause) Is there a reason you don’t show bags on models to give a sense of the size/scale. Would be very helpful (I’ve noticed it missing in other posts where I would have also found it helpful)
I regret having passed on a snakeskin version on sale for 900$, I’d never spend $4000 on any fendi bag. It may be an “it bag” now but i don’t consider anything from fendi a classic, just my two cents
I agree with you. I bought a Fendi handbag at Neiman’s in Houston. Three months later it got a tear where the material bent like a natural crease. Neiman’s contacted Fendi to send it back, they would not replace it, fix it or take it back. Neiman’s had never had that happen. Nor did Neiman’s replace the bag or refund the purchase. No more Fendi!
That is pure lust worthy .
The material and color combo are poetry.
Simply beautiful! In love
Gorgeous! Absolutely gorgeous.
Out of my price range. Sigh.
Could not agree more no Fendi is classic but this is good hate the inner print but good !!!
I own a Fendi Peekaboo Mini and it’s one of my favorite unicorn bags. This version of the Peekaboo is lovely, but I prefer the more structured silhouette than this slouchy version. It’s definitely a personal thing. With that said, I can certainly admire the beauty in this one … I just don’t know as though I’ll shell out hard earned cash for it. 🙂
I love this one, if it were half it’s price I would probably buy it right away! 🙂
This bag is absolutely beautiful! Wow!!
It is beautiful and I think I like it better than the original version. The suede stops me completely, while beautiful too difficult to take care of.
I like the update, but I hate the price. That snap pocket does nothing to me coz it doesn’t seems to hold a thing except loose tissue or some receipts and tickets. It’s just for decoration.
NICE SHARING LOVELY BAGS INDEED
I am in love with this bag!
Could you do a feature of bags with srsly roomy interior side pockets? They alle have one, but you can never stuff 2 sets of keys, car keys, earpods, nail file, nose spray, band-aids, phone and business cards in there. They all just fit 1-2 small, very flat items.
The color is gorgy, but I prefer the original. 🙂
Beautiful moss green color and velvety, soft-looking material, though I avoid suede for care/wear reasons. I always have disliked the (to my eyes) gaudy Fendi logo fabric used in this lining. And it doesn’t offer any version of detachable shoulder strap? At this price point, it should, IMO. Pretty as it is on the exterior, It’ll be a pass for me.
The Perfect update for one of my all time favourite pieces of Arm Candy.Fendi Forever.x.
I love it! too much $ though! it is just me or are huge bags just not cutting it anymore? I pull one out to use for a day, get annoyed and bring back my trusty pochette. Having the dig deep for my wallet(and anything else) is super annoying.
Beautiful
I’ve always loved the Fendi Peekaboo range. The silhouette is just gorgeous to me. I love the green suede color. If I had the money I absolutely would buy it!
Absolutely obsessed! Now to go sell some organs 😉
I’m gonna have to throw in my first-born as well 🙂
That dark green suede is glorious! Sadly we get a ton of rain where I live, so it wouldn’t be practical. Does anyone have any tips on protecting suede from the rain?
Have you tried the Invulner spray ?
No! But I just found it on Amazon. Ordering some now. Thank you!!!
I am in love with this bag … the black and red version is perfect. Unfortunately, green is one of the colours I don’t do.
I just bought the leather version in taupe and It’s swoon worthy. I love the peekaboo and I love this equally as much. I think the price matches the size. The regular peekaboo is close to 4000, and I feel itnis indeed a classic. What makes a classic? Only a Chanel and Hermes really fit the classic label.
I went to Chanel as to my go to destination and was saddened by the same ole same ole. I’m glad fendi is throwing it out of the park.
Bag is stunning. See the leather in person. Or the suede you’ll be stunned too.
This Olive green colour is so divine, even more amazing in this suede material.
I love it! Wish I had money to buy it.
