IF YOU should ever find yourself curious about what happens when two fashion titans collide, look no further than Bulgari’s innovative handbag capsule collection – Serpenti Through the Eyes of Alexander Wang.

Seamlessly instilling his singular influence while paying homage to the fabled origins of Serpenti, Alexander Wang intertwines traditional Bulgari silhouettes with eclectic shapes. The collaboration features six unique styles: the Belt Bag, Duette, Shopping Tote, Two-in-One Satchel, Minaudière and Triplette shoulder bag. Each is elevated with plenty of texture, colour palette and sizing options.

From soft calf leather in white, black and mint, to prestigious python skin and glossy lizard, the collection is wildly diverse. Better yet, each limited edition handbag is designed to actively encourage wearers to be creative with a multitude of styling possibilities.

And yet, the collection’s theme of transformation is best highlighted through the revolutionary packaging concept. Combining the rich heritage of Bvlgari with Alexander Wang’s own signature high-low approach, an element that would be traditionally overlooked in a collection is totally revamped into the most luxurious aspects of the purchase. Featuring components such as the watch box, the dust bag and the paper shopping bag alongside a vintage-inspired Bulgari serpent head jewel from the 1950s, it’s undeniable that packaging ultimately the hero of the capsule collection.

“When Bulgari approached me to collaborate, I knew I wanted to create something that focused on the everyday overlooked items when purchasing luxury goods and transform it into something desirable for a global consumer of all ages,” said Alexander Wang.
