LADY WEB BY GUCCI
O R I G I N
Gucci’s latest collection of bags, the Lady Web, embodies
Bohemian luxury, a style that underlies creative director
Frida Giannini’s modern interpretation of the brand.
S T Y L E
Available in two sizes, the bag is a new-age classic that can
be worn across the torso, for a casual day out, or paired
with a denim maxi or a white lace sundress, for a chic look.

The Lady Web bag by Gucci has become a fast favourite
among the stars, with Dakota Johnson, Cameron Diaz and
Florence Welch sporting this vintage accessory to the ‘T’!
The bag is inspired by the youthful glamour of the 70s’.

THE MVSA BY BULGARI
O R I G I N
The MVSA bag is the latest collection of cocktail bags by Bulgari,
inspired by the MVSA jewellery collection.
S T Y L E
The bag is available in six jewel colours—amethyst purple, blue
topaz, emerald green, rubelite, and mirage silver and gold. You
can sling it on one side with your favourite flapper dress or double
it up as a playful evening clutch to add an element of colour to
a little white number.

T E C H N I Q U E
The bag comes with two key elements: The takhti closure, which is
an ancient Indian stone cut; and the links of the long chain strap,
which recall the aesthetic of MVSA jewellery. The bag is first hand-
painted, then covered by a metal film that is crushed and sprinkled
on to the lizard skin.
W E L O V E
The variety of colours on offer, but we especially adore the
amethyst purple bag, which looks luxurious, while adding a
playful element to any outfit.
