Bulgari launches Rossellini bag collection

12/07/2010
Italian luxury brand Bulgari has launched a new range of leather handbags in collaboration with actress and filmmaker Isabella Rossellini.

The Rossellini bag is available in several variations of material and colour, each of which describes a different facet of Ms Rossellini herself, Bulgari said at the time of the launch.

The first is realized in carved black patent leather with plain flaps treated with a pearl effect, creating a futurist background across which radiates “the suffused glow of the central twist lock in black and white enamel made with aventurine”.

Nonchalance and simplicity are the distinctive traits of the model in chocolate leather and brown mud chevron canvas, graced by a closure in two gradations of gray enamel and tiger's eye, a stone that symbolises harmony.

The version in walnut pony calf leather with flaps in chocolate leather is a tribute to the “sophisticated elegance and bold temperament of Isabella”, the company said, underscored by the amethyst of the twist lock, whose delicate reflections “sparkle at the centre of surfaces in black and brick red enamel and harmonise with the purple of the lining”.

The last model reflects Isabella Rossellini’s modern cosmopolitan spirit in the choice of multicoloured ponyskin whose black and white graphic effect captures the mood and tones of the contemporary metropolis and combines with “the sobriety of chocolate for the leather flaps and the gloss of the aventurine and black and white enamel” that decorate the closure.

The handbags will be available in all Bulgari stores starting this month.
