How does a brand like Fendi celebrate the reopening of its Marina Bay Sands store, which also happens to be the biggest in Singapore and South-east Asia? With an exclusive limited-edition Peekaboo bag, of course! Crafted from candy-green and purple leather and embellished with sequins and palladium, it features sochic details like a Swarovski crystal turn-lock closure and a guitar shoulder strap (Strap You). Meanwhile, here’s what we love about the boutique: the hard-to-miss spike wall of gold thorns that showcases the iconic Baguette bags.

Here’s how to bring the decade back into your wardrobe.

Coach gives its 1971 Duffle bag a makeover! It now comes in pebbled leather (instead of glovetanned leather), with a new turn-lock closure. Available at the Takashimaya D.S. boutique at prices starting from $1,120.

Diane von Furstenberg rolled out the wrap dress during the ’70s, and it became a staple in closets of women the world over for its figure-flattering cut. The 2016 Heritage Collection pays homage to this iconic piece with wrap dresses, jumpsuits and rompers. All are made of silk jersey and embellished with the brand’s signature poppy rose and leopard prints. Prices range from $700 to $1,140.

Embrace the ’70s revival instantly with a saddle bag. We recommend Bally’s new vintage-style, equestrian-inspired ones from its Spring ’17 line-up. Prices range from $995 to $1,595.
