Luxurious evening bags embellished with jewels, rooted in Buccellati's intricate design legacy
In the world of luxury fashion, Buccellati has made a significant impact with its latest capsule collection of jewelry-inspired handbags. Unveiled during Paris Haute Couture Week in 2025, these modern bags pay homage to the brand's rich history dating back to the 1920s.
Founded by Mario Buccellati, the high jewellery and silverware brand began transforming the humble evening bag concept in the 1920s. Buccellati's evening bags, adorned with gold and precious stones, became iconic, particularly at Milan's La Scala Theater. This tradition of blending high jewelry craftsmanship with elegant accessories was years ahead of its time.
Fast forward to contemporary times, and Buccellati has revived and reinterpreted this heritage. The new collection, comprising three unique, one-of-a-kind pieces, is crafted with exquisite materials such as green velvet, cabochon rubellite tourmalines, diamonds, yellow gold, and fine textile fabrics.
The new creations reinterpret a timeless classic, as per Andrea Buccellati, the brand's president and creative director. He states that the inspiration for these new creations comes from the bags of the past. The foundation for maintaining balance in the new designs lies in a thorough understanding of traditional craftsmanship techniques.
The key features of their craftsmanship, both historical and contemporary, include intricate embroidery and detailed handiwork, the use of luxurious, tactile materials like green velvet combined with high-jewelry elements, the incorporation of yellow and white gold, and a strong emphasis on restoring and maintaining the original artistry of the vintage pieces.
These unique bags are more than just fashion accessories; they are exquisite collectible objets d'art that highlight Buccellati's mastery in fine jewelry craftsmanship and textile application. The new collection serves as a testament to Buccellati's commitment to preserving its rich heritage while staying relevant in the modern fashion landscape.
