The Bvlgari Calla Collection by Mary Katrantzou

For her debut as Creative Director of Leather Goods and Accessories at Bvlgari, Mary Katrantzou draws from the heart and history of Rome, Bvlgari's home and timeless source of inspiration, to introduce the “Calla,” a new pattern and identity for Bvlgari Leather Goods and Accessories. Inspired by the intricate mosaics of the Terme di Caracalla – the inspiration behind the Divas’ Dream jewelry line – the sensuously curved fan-shaped pattern finds multiple interpretations through the collection’s exquisite workmanship, intricate treatments and innovative designs.

The new Serpenti Sugarloaf, a padded-volume nappa shoulder bag, draws both its form and name from the exquisite and rare high-domed variant of Bvlgari's signature cabochon cut. The sinuous shapes of the Calla motif are interpreted with a complex matelassé motif and intricate lines that are precisely engineered and crafted by specialist Bvlgari artisans at the Maison’s leather goods Atelier in Florence, Italy.

In Mary Katrantzou's inaugural collection for Bvlgari Leather Goods and Accessories, the new Calla pattern is introduced through intricate matelassé quilting and shimmering treatments of multi-colored snow-set pavé crystals. These creations are precious expressions of singular artistry, where Bvlgari's 140 years of jewelry-making expertise meets its modern mastery of leather craftsmanship.
