BvlgariSerpenti Shoulder Bag

Q: What makes the Bvlgari x Alexander Wang Serpenti Shoulder Bag special?
A: This style comes from the Alexander Wang x Bvlgari capsule, a limited reinterpretation of the house’s Serpenti line. It stands out for its modern, compact shape and distinctive double Serpenti-head magnetic closure.

Q: What typically fits inside this bag?
A: With measurements of approximately 18.5 x 13 x 6 cm, it is best suited to small daily essentials such as a phone, cardholder, keys, lipstick and other slim items. It is a compact shoulder bag rather than a roomy day bag.

Q: Can it be carried by hand, on the shoulder, or crossbody?
A: Yes. It has a single top handle with an approximate 10 cm drop and a detachable, adjustable strap listed at 63 cm. It works well carried by hand or on the shoulder, and may suit crossbody wear depending on your height and preferred fit.

Q: What are the main materials and design details?
A: This piece is crafted in light pink leather with gold-tone hardware and a black leather lining. It closes with a magnetic flap finished with double Serpenti heads, which is one of the signature details of the collaboration.

Q: Is this bag more suitable for day or evening use?
A: Its compact proportions and polished hardware make it easy to style for both. It works especially well for lunches, events, dinners and occasions when you only need the essentials.

Q: What condition is this item in?
A: This pre-owned bag is listed in very good condition. There is minor scuffing on the corners, a light trace of use inside, and light scratches to the shiny hardware.

Q: Are any extra items included with the bag?
A: No additional items are included with this piece. If a box, dust bag or authenticity card is not mentioned in the product information, it should be assumed not to be included.

Q: How should I care for the leather and hardware?
A: Avoid overfilling the bag, rubbing it against rough surfaces, and exposing it to water, oils, perfume or prolonged direct sunlight. Store it lightly stuffed in a dust bag when not in use, and if it gets damp, pat it dry gently with a soft cloth rather than wiping.

Q: How is a pre-owned Bvlgari bag authenticated?
A: At A Retro Tale, pre-owned pieces are checked by experts for details such as materials, construction, hardware, branding and overall craftsmanship before being offered for sale.
