Fendi’s Posh Peekaboo Party Brings Out Houston’s Most Stylish People

Dateline haute handbags. This luxury retailer knows how to throw a great party, and conjure a powerful guest list.

A floral step-and-repeat, perfect flutes of Dom Pérignon P2 2000 Vintage that fueled a champagne toast, and a selection of wearable sculpture — the beautiful and intriguing Fendi Peekaboo handbags in rare and exotic materials — made for an unforgettable cocktail bash at the Fendi Houston Galleria boutique.

A tony set of guests eyed and acquired Fendi’s signature Peekaboo, presented in a special exhibition, which featured a beguiling array of handbags crafted from exotic skins such as crocodile, ostrich, lizard and python.

Fendi combines artisanship with artistry — and handbags of every color and size, showcased for this rare occasion, varied from the handsome and understated, to the playful, and entrance making — attitudes perfectly paired to the It Girls that will carry them.

Houston is among a handful of cities worldwide where the collection is available for viewing and shopping — through October 14 at the Fendi Houston Galleria boutique.
