Italian Actress Isabella Rossellini Designs Signature Handbag for Bulgari

Posted on: Jun 9

Revered Italian actress Isabella Rossellini is working with the Bulgari design team on a handbag bearing her name.

"My connection with Bulgari dates back to when I was a child and I'd accompany my mother [the legendary Ingrid Bergman] to the historic shop in Via Condotti in Rome," Rossellini explained. "She loved Bulgari jewels."

Her Rossellini handbag understandably takes its cues from the golden years of Italian fashion, with a design that has been described as "clean-cut and essential." It features hand-crafted enamel clasps encrusted with semiprecious stones and a snail print lining, a playful homage to Rossellini's recent ecological awareness films. The Rossellini bag will be available in four colors and materials representative of Rossellini's personality.

The Rossellini bag will be unveiled on July 7 during haute couture week at Bulgari's Rome flagship store. If you can't get to Italy you won't have to wait too long to feast your eyes on it, as it will hit Bulgari stores around the world at the end of July.
