This month, Alexander Wang reimagines Bvlgari’s Serpenti Forever
Bag as part of the 135-year-old house’s ongoing “Serpenti Through
the Eyes Of ” series of capsule collections. The six leather handbags, which include
a shopper tote, a duette, and a two-in-one satchel, are available in white, black, and
mint green (an ode to Bvlgari’s green tea fragrance, Wang’s favorite growing up),
and feature a modern interpretation of the iconic Serpenti hardware. “I found the
original snake-head piece from the 1960s in the Bvlgari archives,” the designer says.
“It was a nod to the sinful woman, and that was something I could relate to. I always
think about a thrill-seeker when I design.”—brooke bobb
