HAUTE DAME

-

Old and new; classic and modern – fashion’s dichotomie­s are perfectly reflected in Bulgari’s Diva bag. A true classic, it was inspired by protagonis­ts of Fifties’ style, La Dolce Vita, and all its rich symbolism. Embodying the golden era of femininity, it stands apart in its versatilit­y and modern insoucianc­e.

Aesthetica­lly, Bulgari has injected its signature elements into the Diva bag while keeping to its roots in jewellery making. The bag is cut in the shape of an oversized pill, using a technique similar to dress-tailoring. Leather is applied to a wooden structure, ensuring the perfect balance of volume. Crocodile leather is subjected to the Agatatura process, giving it a smooth and bright finish akin to a precious stone. The Serpenti motif, which has become synonymous with the legendary jewellery brand, adorns the clasp.

Available in blue topaz, emerald green, tea rose, raspberry pink or delicate aqua, its fresh colours hit all the right notes for summer. While the contrastin­g inner lining and pocket-size mirror add charm, carried cross-body the clutch-cumsling bag’s youthful magic really comes into play. Wear with a white boyfriend shirt and jeans to get into a Parisian state of mind, or arrive irreverent with a jersey dress. In that spirit, why don’t you … get two Diva bags and pair them with your coolest trainers?
