The FENDI Christmas tree will be adorned with colourful and whimsical “meteorite-like” plexiglass “Bag Bugs” lighted from within, and the “Bag Bugs” decorations will continue in the indoor spaces adding a touch of fun and a mischievous twist to the Christmas decor. The dazzling FENDI decorated Christmas tree at the Hotel de Russie will be unveiled on 1stDecember, the very same day that FENDI will light up its magnificent “Baguette Christmas Tree” and “Bag Bugs Christmas facade” at the FENDI headquarters in Largo Goldoni. Only a short walk from the Hotel, the tree at Palazzo FENDI is each year one of the most beautifully decorated Christmas trees in all of the Eternal City.

This year’s new Bag Bugs concept is a collection of irresistible and playful lucky charms and accessories that have invaded FENDI boutiques worldwide and will spread their allure to the magical atmosphere of the Hotel de Russie during the Christmas holidays. Each Bag Bug is unique: these elegant fur lucky charms have various facial expressions and are available in a multitude of colours to convey their own distinct personality. They are sure to entice the cosmopolitan and fashionable clientele of the Hotel de Russie.
