The Unexpected Collab

Alexander Wang and Bvlgari have come together to release a capsule collection of the latter’s Serpenti bag with a twist.

"The tote comes in two sizes, S & L. Only S is available in galuchat (stingray)."

One is an American designer known for his edgy, monochromatic downtown New York aesthetic. The other, a storied Italian jeweller with an iconic bag that’s an extension of its heritage – bold, classy and luxurious. The unexpected yet brilliant partnership sees Alexander Wang adding a youthful twist to Bvlgari’s classic Serpenti bags.

Their opposite worlds collide to give form to a series of limited-edition bags with double and triple flaps, plus a few new iterations such as a tote and a boxy minaudiere.

All versions, except the satchel, will be available at #01-03 Ion Orchard and #B1-35/36 The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands. From $2,440. – ST
