FENDI is delighted to announce that the Italian Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy has released a special stamp in tribute to the Roman Maison to mark its 100th anniversary. 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. This initiative acknowledges the significant role that FENDI continues to play in the Italian economy and in promoting the “Made in Italy” hallmark on the international stage, 100 years after the House was founded.

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 100th anniversary, incorporating the number one and the infinity symbol in the signature FENDI yellow color, 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 color. The folder also contains a block of four stamps, a stamped and cancelled philatelic postcard, a first-day envelope and a philatelic card.

The stamp and its associated collection products, like the folder, will be available for purchase from 4th April 2025, at Poste Italiane post offices throughout Italy, in 10 selected philatelic spaces located in the historic center of the main Italian cities, online at filatelia.poste.it and for subscribers.
