The house of Fendi was launched in 1925 by Adele and Edoardo Fendi as a fur and leather shop in Via del Plebiscito, Rome. In 1932 Adele and Edoardo Fendi opened a boutique in via Piave; the shop became a popular destination for tourists in Rome.

In 1946, the five sisters Paola, Anna, Franca, Carla, and Alda joined the company in its second generation as a family-owned enterprise.

Karl Lagerfeld joined Fendi in 1965 and became the creative director for the fur and women's ready-to-wear collections. Karl Lagerfeld’s works were recently featured spring/summer 2023 at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The opening of the exhibition was marked with The 2023 Met Gala with the feature being Karl Lagerfeld and all attendees were dressed to honor him and his work.
