Fendi Fur-Accented Bike Defies Logic, Taste

Your Memorial Day weekend may include a bicycle but likely it's nothing like this. The new Fendi Abici Amante Donna bicycle is designed for luxury cruising. There are two versions, a $5,900 iteration with Fendi's Selleria leather accessories and a detachable Fendi case and the deluxe bicycle for $9,500 that also has removable fur saddlebags. WWD reports that at a celebration event at Fendi's Fifth Avenue flagship four bikes, two of each style were sold. I love a good classic bike but this one just goes too far for me if only for the impracticality of the fur saddlebags. It seems to be a bike you could never leave unattended unless you wanted to take the accountrements with you.

"utterly classless"????
Couldn't disagree more. I think it's a very refined and understated design despite its use of fur. It's been done in a most elegant, English countryside way. Totally impractical but if i'm buying Fendi i'm not looking for practical.
