BVLGARI A rare and charming large women's tote bag by Bulgari, part of the historic archive ABELEL line. This model combines the excellence of Italian leather craftsmanship with an artistic and poetic illustration featuring a vintage aeronautical theme, depicting large vintage hot air balloons suspended in the sky. The main body is crafted from sturdy ivory canvas, while the long handles (ideal for comfortable shoulder wear), the top strap, and the wide, reinforced oval base are entirely made of fine beige grained calfskin. The front panel features a hot air balloon with a blue and white canopy, while the back features a second hot air balloon with white and red segments. The renowned classic BVLGARI logo is delicately heat-stamped into the leather. The exceptionally spacious and roomy interior is entirely lined in dark brown silk jacquard fabric, personalized with the Bulgari monogram repeated in the weave. Includes the original leather tab with the front logo and, on the back, the official heat-stamped "MADE IN ITALY - ABELEL" stamp, a key element for verifying the piece's conformity.
