Bulgari Rita Shoulder Bag | Adorable Retro Powder Blue Leather Purse

Posted on: Jun 23

Bulgari channels 1960s style with this adorable Rita shoulder bag. It's exactly the kind of purse I can imagine swinging from the shoulder of a style icon like Jackie Onassis or Brigitte Bardot.

The crescent shape reminds me a little of a hobo bag, but it's much more structured and chic here. The curves of the front flap mimic the body, creating one put-together purse. The powder blue leather is the star, offset with shiny silver hardware engraved with the iconic Bulgari name.

It's large enough to carry everyday essentials, but not oversized by any stretch of the imagination. And why would it be? This is a bag that embraces its retro roots, emulating a time when a woman would never be weighed down by their purse. A zippered pocket and slip pouch give us safe places for stashing our smaller essentials.

Like so many Bulgari bags, the kicker here is the price. At $1450, it's a bitter pill to swallow. It looks like we'll be saving for some time to get our hands on this pale blue beauty.
