Anyway, Bvlgari, right? That’s the brand we’re (sort of) talking about. They started way back in 1881 in Rome, which is kinda neat. Makes you think of, like, cobblestone streets and really old dudes with mustaches meticulously crafting jewelry. Apparently, they’re all about blending Italian heritage with modern style. Which… okay, I can see that. Sometimes. Depends on the bag, I guess.
I’ve seen mentions of “Bvlgari Roma Handbags,” which sound kinda fancy. Like, a “Roma” handbag is probably going to cost me more than my rent, am I right? Probably made from the finest leather, blah blah blah, contemporary Italian design… you know the drill. It’s designer-speak for “prepare to be broke.”
And then there’s the whole “Serpenti” thing. The snake head clasp? Yeah, that’s their signature. It’s either super cool or kinda creepy, depending on your taste. I’m personally leaning towards “kinda creepy,” but hey, maybe I just haven’t found the right Serpenti bag to change my mind.
Okay, so I hopped over to eBay (because, let’s be real, *I’m* not buying a Bvlgari bag at full price) and saw a bunch of “Bvlgari Tote Bags for Women.” The deals are… well, they’re deals if you consider “a few hundred dollars” a deal. Which, for a tote bag, is still insane to me. But hey, free shipping, right? Gotta love that.
And then, just to add to the confusion, I stumbled upon some Portuguese (I think?) text about a “Bolsa Bvlgari Serpenti Tote Bag Preto Original.” So, a black Serpenti tote bag, being sold as “Used Luxury.” Which makes you wonder, like, *who* is selling their used luxury bags? And why? Did they suddenly win the lottery and upgrade to a solid gold bag? Or did they just realize that spending thousands on a single bag was maybe not the smartest financial decision?
