Ideal for dinners, parties, or elevating polished daytime looks.
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 the Bvlgari Serpenti Forever Maxi Chain Shoulder Bag? A: At approximately 25 x 17 x 8 cm, this bag is well suited to daily essentials such as a phone, small to medium wallet, keys, passport, sunglasses, lipstick, and other compact items. The three-compartment interior helps keep everything organised. For exact proportions, please refer to the Measurements on this page.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder or across the body? A: This piece features both a chain handle and a detachable shoulder strap, so it offers versatile styling. With the listed strap measurement of approximately 45 cm, it is best described as a shoulder bag; on some frames it may sit as a shorter crossbody, but fit will vary depending on height and preference.
Q: How is the interior organised? A: The bag has a tonal lining with three compartments, which makes it easy to separate essentials such as your phone, wallet, and small personal items. This structured layout is one of the practical benefits of the Serpenti Forever style.
Q: Does the flap closure stay secure? A: Yes, this bag features a magnetic flap closure designed for convenient day-to-evening use. It offers easy access while helping keep your essentials in place. As with most flap bags, it is best not to overfill it so the closure sits neatly.
Q: What makes the Serpenti Forever line so recognisable? A: The Serpenti Forever line is best known for its iconic snake-inspired closure and jewellery-like hardware. It combines Bvlgari’s Roman glamour with a structured silhouette, making it one of the house’s most distinctive bag designs.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This piece comes with a dust bag and a detachable shoulder strap. Everything included with the purchase is listed in the product information on this page; if an item is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: What condition is this vintage bag in? A: This item is listed in very good condition overall. The exterior and interior both show light traces of use, while the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. This indicates a well-kept vintage piece that has been used gently.
Q: How should I care for the leather and hardware? A: To preserve the cream leather and gold-tone hardware, store the bag in its dust bag, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or moisture, and keep it away from rough or dark-dyed fabrics that may transfer colour. A soft, dry cloth is usually best for light surface cleaning, and the bag should be stored lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully vetted by experts using detailed checks of materials, construction, hardware, stamps, and overall design consistency. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
