CHE BELLO! The facade’s unique handmade concrete palm tiles were crafted especially for Hawai‘i, and arched details are reminiscent of the FENDI’s iconic Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana HQ. Inside, guests are welcomed by a stunning focus wall of the women’s iconic bags adorned with travertine shelves. Hawaiian Acacia koa wood enriches the space with an exquisite staircase that leads to the second floor. Upstairs, a FENDI Casa seating area complements the ready-to-wear collections and shoes. The showstopper is an intimate private client room with Italian furnishings, Patagonia marble and Champagne metal details, and a grand sequence of arches and windows. FENDI’s Roman heritage flourishes with a Hawaiian twist. fendi.com
