Peekaboo

There are bags, and then there are bags. The Fendi Peekaboo definitely belongs to the latter. As much as I have loved (and still love) every single bag I purchased over the years, I have recently found my craving for timeless staples to increase while my appreciation for louder pieces that catch the eye immediately has been decreasing. Muted colors, designs that have been around for years and will (most likely) be around for years to come, and most importantly: bags that are practicable and can fit more than my iPhone 8 plus.

During said transition, I decided to part ways with a few of my designer bags. I don’t think it is ever easy selling something that you spent a lot of money on at a previous point in time. Even though I own numerous expensive designer pieces (not tons, but more than enough), it doesn’t mean that each and every purchase is not well thought out and special to me. It requires saving up and appreciation to spend a month’s rent on a bag. And when you see that appreciation fade, it is time to say goodbye and make room for something new.

Said and done, I sold a Valentino bag, my red suede Saint Laurent bag and a Stella McCartney Falabella. The Falabella was not an easy decision because it was amongst the first designer bags I ever bought and one I originally thought I would have forever. But at the end of the day, it rarely left the back of my closet and I knew there was a bag more special waiting for me.

Fendi Peekaboo Regular: Powder Grey

It is hard to believe that the Fendi Peekaboo bag has only been around for 10 years (released in 2008), because to me it feels like such a classic. Remember when it was on my wishlist a few months back? Well, now it is mine and I have a feeling it won’t leave my arm any time soon. During the summer months, I plan to wear it with hues of white and blue – like today’s outfit – and come Winter, the deep red lining will come in handy to work with heavy knits and darker colors.

Long story short: Welcome home, Peekaboo!

    Weddings are always a perfect reason to get dressed up in a new dress and some heels. Theoretically. Slowly, however, I feel like I am getting to an age where lots of our friends are getting married, which means lots of new dresses. Most of which I will probably only wear once. So when we…

  1. Wenn du schreibst, dass du eine Valentino Tasche verkauft hast, dann meinst du aber nicht die tolle Glamrock in Poudre, oder? 🙂

    1. Nein 🙂 Ich hatte letztes Jahr im Sommer eine andere, schwarze aus Wildleder gekauft. Die in Poudre liebe ich nach wie vor heiß!

  2. Liebe Vicky,

    ein wahres Träumchen deine neue Tasche und ich LIEBE dieses Outfit!
    Ich war schon gespannt in welchem Dress du uns die Tasche auf deinem Blog das erste Mal präsentieren wirst und du hättest es nicht besser machen können!

    Ich wünsche dir ganz viel Spaß mit ihr und einen zauberhaften Tag.

    Liebe Grüße
    Nicole

  3. Liebe Vicky, da hast du dir wirklich eine ganz wunderbare und zeitlose Tasche gekauft – ich dachte lustigerweise dass die Peekaboo von Hermes ist, weil ich sie auch unter “timeless classic” im Kopf hatte 😉
    Auf den Fotos sieht man auch schon deine Erfolge von euren Sporteinheiten mit dem superlustigen Coach – vorallem an deinen Oberarmen.
    Das motiviert mich persönlich grad total zum “reinbeißen” und “durchziehen” #noexcuses 😉

    Liebe grüße und viel Freude mit der Tasche,
    Raphaela

    1. Liebe Raphaela,
      danke dir für deine lieben Kommentare (immer!). Ich habe SO die Freude mit der Tasche und denke sie wird mich noch viele Jahre begleiten.
      Merciii auch für das Feedback zum Training <3 Es macht unheimlich Spaß zu merken wie stark man wird - und gegen die kleinen optischen Änderungen habe ich natürlich auch nichts!

  4. Toller Look und ein Traum von einer Tasche. Und ich finde die Länge deiner Haare derzeit absolut perfekt, sieht chic aber auch cool und lässig aus!

    Abgesehen davon, dass sowas völlig außerhalb meines Budgets liegt, war ich eher erstaunt wie teuer die Mieten in Wien anscheinend sind, wenn du den Preis der Tasche mit einer Monatsmiete vergleichst? 😀

    Ich ziehe demnächst nach Stuttgart und dachte, das wär schon arg..

    1. Liebe Marit,
      danke dir für den netten Kommentar. Bin zur Zeit auch mega happy mit der Länge meiner Haare!
      Bzgl der Miete: das war nicht auf eine Monatsmiete bezogen (obwohl es natürlich ausreichend Wohnungen für 3.000€ gibt – unsere kostet das definitiv nicht)
      Alles Liebe,
      Vicky
