We have to talk about this iconic moment in fashion history. FENDI, the legendary Roman fashion house, just turned 100 years old — And how are they celebrating? In true Italian fashion, with their own official FENDI Stamp.
Yes, the stamp you’d put on a letter — but this one’s a literal collectible piece of fashion history.
The stamp combines iconic symbols of FENDI, representing a century of legacy founded on values such as tradition, innovation, and passion. These elements are core pillars, recurring codes, and motifs that trace back to the beginnings of the House in 1925, anchoring FENDI’s past to its present.
The design features a reinterpretation of the FENDI Roma logo crafted for the 100-year anniversary, incorporating the number one and the infinity symbol in the signature FENDI yellow colour, paired with the iconic FF logo as the backdrop. The latter was created by Karl Lagerfeld in 1965 upon his appointment as Creative Director by the legendary five Fendi sisters – Paola, Anna, Franca, Carla, and Alda – daughters of the Maison’s founders, Adele and Edoardo Fendi. Standing for ‘Fun Furs,’ the FF logo marked a pivotal moment, boldly defining the limitless creativity and identity of FENDI.
The stamp is included inside a collectible four-flap, philatelic A4 folder – accompanied by a text signed by Silvia Venturini Fendi, FENDI Artistic Director of Accessories and Menswear – created for the occasion in the signature FENDI yellow colour.
This stamp is part of a larger themed series titled ‘le Eccellenze del sistema produttivo ed economico’ (the Excellence of the productive and economic system), dedicated to Italian brands on their centenary, and is available for purchase at Poste Italiane post offices throughout Italy or online at filatelia.poste.it
