The story behind this Bvlgari Twist bag
Bvlgari draws its inspiration from the roots of Rome. The circular ‘Bvlgari Bvlgari’ double-engraved motif was created in 1977. It draws inspiration from ancient Roman coins, on which the emperor’s name encircled his effigy. With the Twist model, the brand combines this signature design with raw materials. The aim is to integrate luxury into an urban wardrobe without compromising on the quality of the finish. This model reflects the brand’s aesthetic transition in the early 2000s.
Structure, materials and dimensions of this Twist
This piece combines blue denim-effect canvas with black patent leather. The supple twill canvas body contrasts with the smooth, glossy base and side panels. This design ensures the bag retains its structured shape. Measuring 37 cm in length, the trapezoidal silhouette features a central drape. This pleat is held in place by two palladium-plated metal rings bearing the line’s engraving. Access to the compartment is secured by a zip fastening. The zip pull is finished with a large fringed tassel in patent leather. The bag can be carried by hand thanks to its two rigid tubular handles. An additional patent leather shoulder strap allows it to be worn over the shoulder or across the body.
Why this Bvlgari bag
This model exemplifies the 2000s trend that reintroduced denim into the luxury wardrobe. Finding a piece that combines this texture with patent leather in such good condition is rare on the second-hand market. This design strikes a balance between everyday use and a strong leather goods aesthetic. It is an accessory that stands out from classic designs thanks to its contrasting materials.
