BULGARI - "Mongolfiere" Canvas & Leather Large Tote Bag...

BULGARI Rare and fascinating large-sized women's tote bag signed Bulgari, part of the historic ABELEL archive line. This model blends the excellence of Italian artisanal leatherwork with an artistic and poetic illustration in a vintage aviation theme, depicting large antique hot air balloons suspended in the sky. The main body is made of sturdy ivory-colored canvas, while the long handles (ideal for a comfortable shoulder fit), the upper band and the wide reinforced oval base are entirely in premium hammered beige calfskin. The front panel features a hot air balloon with a blue and white dome, while on the back a second balloon with white and red segments predominates. The famous BVLGARI classic logo is finely hot-stamped on the leather. The interior, exceptionally spacious, is fully lined with a dark brown silk jacquard fabric, customized with the Bulgari monogram repeated in the weave. It includes the original leather tab with the front logo and, on the back, the official hot-stamped seal "MADE IN ITALY - ABELEL", a fundamental element for verifying the piece's conformity.
