High on the heels of its ring collaboration with Anish Kapoor, Bulgari is helping Isabella Rossellini dip into the accessories world by having her design a bag for the Roman jeweler with the support of its in-house design team. The “Rossellini” handbag is described as “clean-cut and essential” and takes its style cues from the leathergoods worn by golden screen divas. The bag, which will be unveiled in Paris on July 7 during haute couture week in Bulgari’s flagship, will come in four colors and materials to reflect Rossellini’s personality. Among the prominent details will be handmade enameled clasps adorned with semiprecious stones and a lining printed with a snail motif (a tribute to Rossellini’s most recent short movies in support of ecological causes and of animal reproduction). The bag will and will go on sale at the end of July.
