Milan Fashion Week : BVLGARI A/W 15/16 ACCESSORIES

Yesterday I was very fortunate to be invited by BVLGARI to view their new Autumn Winter Collection. The presentation was at the BVLGARI Hotel in Milan, a gorgeous building.

As is to be expected, BVLGARI’s accessories are perfectly made, no detail has been missed and their designs are well researched evoking BVLGARI’s past collections and traditions.
Among others, one of the new styles is this lovely Serpentini Bauletto Bag, the bag is being produced in amethyst violet, ocean turquoise and a lovely shade of pink rubellite as well as different exotic skins. Colours that mirror jewels is something the brand is renowned for. The beautiful handle is inspired by the snake bracelet watch produced in the 60s.

A good talking point here, is that the little details inside the bag are given as much importance as the the details outside. I’m often disappointed with interiors even with expensive bags, sometimes the inside of the bag is not real leather or hasn’t been finished to a degree of quality that matches the exterior. At BVLGARI, the inside is lined with beautiful suede of a contrasting colour, whilst the piping inside matches the leather of the exterior – stunning!

Above is the Serpentine Forever Flap Bag in tiger’s eye calf leather featuring 3D inlaid scales in gold layers skin. 
Below is the new BVLGARI-BVLGARI signature bag – an interesting combination of calf leather and black plexi glass giving the bag a very modern, original look – love the magnetic closure featuring the signature BVLGARI ring.

 

And for one of my personal faves in terms of leather finish – this hologram effect takes hours to produce since it involves tanning and re tanning the leather to ensure even dispersion of the colour desired.

What I found very interesting, is the excellent new range of BVLGARI sunglasses. In previous years I haven’t always been too enamoured with their sunglasses range finding them a bit too fussy and possibly a bit tailored to the older generation. These new styles are modern and stylish with a lovely look whilst of course still retaining the excellent quality and those little details such as pink gold and diamonds serpentini scales on the side.
This cat-eye shape sits really well on most face shapes.
