Fendi lines
Furs
Fendi's
internationally renowned line of fur helps to differentiate the brand
from its competitors as one of the few designers with a full range of
fur offerings. Naomi Campbell was fired from her position as a People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals spokesperson in 1997 for wearing fur at a Fendi fashion show.

Fragrances

Fendi for Women, in 1985. The line has been expanded to Theorema Uomo
and Fendi Uomo (for men) and Celebration, Asja and Fantasia (for women).
Eyewear
Fendi's eyewear line currently includes prescription eyeglasses and sunglasses in addition to non-prescription sunglasses.
Timepieces
Fendi currently licenses out their name for their watches, which feature Swiss movements.
Writing Instruments
Fendi licensed their name and logo to Cross Pens in 1989 but by 2000 this deal appeared to have lapsed.
