The kiss of Rossellini
Bulgari’s new handbags bear the name Isabella Rossellini, the Italian actress and daughter of Ingrid Bergman, who in her time was a fan of Bulgari jewellery.
Isabella worked closely with the brand’s designers to create six bags.
One in soft leather conveys a natural and easy grace with the central twist lock in enamel and hard stones. The bags are available in calf leather with a chevron pattern, in green, cognac, brown, ebony, ivory and sand. Get a preview at Bulgari.com.
