Inspired by the uplifting feelings evoked by an Italian Escape, the Bulgari High Summer 2024 Leather Goods and Accessories collection captures the desire to live carefree moments and enjoy the best that life has to offer.
More than a season, summer in Italy is a way of life. The days spent on the beaches, the hidden “gems” inviting for endless discoveries, the solar mood that illuminates the soul and the vibrant energy that enchant the evenings.
Magnificently rendering these “feel-good vibes” , the collection is enlivened by summer-inspired motifs and seasonal animations such as Chevron fabric and Woven Wicker, fresh expressions of Bulgari’s artisanal mastery. The irresistible charm of the most precious exotics is further elevated through creative treatments and workmanships, while the unfading appeal of exquisite Calf Leather is emphasized by highly-contemporary finishes.
From pink shades, to soft nuances reminiscent of sandy beaches, through timeless colors such as Flash Diamond, Silver and Black, now infused with a modern appeal, the season’s chromatic palette shapes a universe of inspiration, pleasure and escapism using the evocative language of color.
Capturing the lighthearted spirit of endless Italian Summer days, Bulgari adds a fresh look to the iconic Serpenti Forever Top Handle bag and the hypnotic Serpentine Pouch by introducing Chevron Fabric.
The classic Chevron pattern is reimagined by Bulgari’s Design Team through a seasonal material made of three different fabrics. To create the motif, cotton, lurex and rayon threads are woven together by a fully hand-armed loom into a fine texture with a luxurious appeal, demanding almost four weeks of expert craftsmanship to complete. An additional step is required for the Serpenti Forever Top handle bag, where elegant Ivory Opal Calf Leather trims frame the single Chevron panels, for a refined shade on shade effect that exalts both the bag’s design and richness of textures. Perfectly attuned to the chromatic palette, the iconic snakehead magnetic closure is embellished with Ivory Opal enamel scales and hypnotic black enamel eyes.
