The Fendi limited edition bag collection is made from recycled Mini Cooper car parts

Fendi’s limited edition bag collection comprises 50 unique designs. Ilaria Venturini Fendi, the youngest daughter of world renowned Anna Fendi, has launched ‘Carmina Campus’, a label that specialises in making furniture, jewellery and bags from re-used and up-cycled materials.

The special edition collection travel and city bags for men and women, as well as unisex designs. The diverse range of materials used in the Mini Roadster provided the designer with a broad spectrum of possibilities. "The Mini Roadster inspired me with many materials, like the canvas from the convertible roofs rejected after tests or the small metal plates obtained from scraps of the car body," Ilaria Venturini Fendi said. The bags are made from seatbelts, convertible roof canvas, scraps of metal bodywork and leather upholstery

"I'm very happy about this collaboration," says Venturini Fendi. "It shows just how aware Mini is of the motor industry's impact on the environment and that it is working towards change."
