“Fendi Bags” by - Carmina Campus

Founder of Carmina Campus, Ilaria Venturini Fendi took her skills from Rome to Africa, dedicating her founded label to sustain artisan crafts in Africa. The designer has combines recycled materials from Italy for her bags. (Carmina Campus is an entirely separate company from Fendi, which is owned by LVMH, but Ilaria is Fendi accessories designer Silvia Venturini Fendi’s sister.)

This  collection the designer calls it A Journey Through Dumpsters, Venturini Fendi uses black plastic garbage bags, doubled and reinforced for a glossy, slick look; the recycled sacks, she says, take on a vintage look, “like old skins.” She also worked with ITC production groups for Carmina Campus’ first entirely African-made bags, using recycled safari tents and canvas from refugee huts.
