Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What typically fits inside this Bvlgari Monete Tote Bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 35 x 27 x 10 cm, this tote is well suited to daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch and slim documents or a compact tablet. It is better suited to everyday essentials than to bulky work items.
Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder? A: Yes. The dual chain and leather handles have an approximate drop of 22 cm, which generally allows for comfortable shoulder carry for most people.
Q: What makes the Monete line special? A: Monete is one of Bvlgari’s most distinctive design stories, inspired by antique coins and the house’s Roman heritage. In bag designs, this usually appears through coin-inspired decorative details and jewellery-like hardware accents.
Q: What materials and interior details does this bag have? A: This piece features pink pleated leather, gold-tone hardware and a black fabric lining. Inside, it includes one internal zip pocket for organising smaller essentials.
Q: How should I care for the pleated leather? A: To help preserve the leather, avoid overfilling the bag and keep it away from water, humidity, direct heat and prolonged sunlight. When not in use, store it lightly filled with white tissue paper in a soft dust bag. If light marks appear, pat gently with a soft dry white cloth rather than rubbing, and avoid alcohol or harsh cleaning products.
Q: What condition should I expect from this vintage bag? A: This bag is in very good vintage condition overall. The exterior leather has scuffing on the corners and cracking on the edges, the interior shows light traces of use with light marks on the inside leather material, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: What is included with this item? A: No additional items are included with this bag. Please refer to the product information for the full list of what comes with it.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: According to the product information, this bag was made in Italy.
Q: What should I look for when checking a vintage Bvlgari bag before buying? A: Buyers usually focus on the quality of the leather, stitching, lining, hardware finish, engravings and overall construction. For a vintage piece, close-up photos of corners, edges, handles and interior details are especially helpful when assessing condition and authenticity.
Q: Can Bvlgari leather bags be repaired or refurbished? A: Bvlgari offers after-sales services for leather goods, including cleaning, refurbishment and certain spare-part repairs through its boutiques and service centres. For a vintage pre-owned bag, service availability can depend on the style, age and the work required.
