Bulgari Serpenti Bag. Is It Worth It?

[A bottle of Red]

"It looks like a snake belly that just had it's dinner"!! love it

The karung skin looks so special and the flecks of metallic are so enchanting. I'm so torn on which one to get now!

@A bottle of Red & @Kidney101 Do either of you have any issues matching the karung skin bag to your wardrobe?

Not at all, it's a year round neutral for me (though i do find it more dressy- like ok that one doesn't go grocery shopping with me too often lol).
By the way, my little karung wallet is sooo strong it's fantastic.

Can you see them in person? I find looking at, touching, trying on , fitting your stuff in is so helpful

No not at all! My karung bag is white with black interior. I think the one you like in the picture is beige cabochon. I remember seeing a metallic blue before in cabochon as well but it was probably a limited edition as it's no longer available. - colours below are beige, white , gray and blue but only now available in top handle

Here she is!!!

I LOVE this bag. The size is so perfect for me and I’m blown away by the craftsmanship. I’m so glad I went with the karung leather because I wanted something unique but wearable. It’s so sparkly and pretty. The hardware is gorgeous!!!

I can’t stop staring at her!

Love it! Congratulations I am so happy for you! The beauty of karung leather is really hard to capture in camera.

What do you guys think about this bag? This one was sold out already in the US. I saw a YouTube video looks so tiny and not functional. This remind me of the Mary Kantrantzou x Bvlgari collab. Does anyone own a Bvlgari piece in gold handle? Just wondering if this fade over time.

I would consider this along the lines of an evening bag even though it comes with a more casual looking strap. I find it to be too elegant in design to be a casual/daily carry.

I really like the ombré lizard version and could see myself wearing it out to dinners/drinks. I would like to see it in person to see how bright the colouring is in real life.

A few TPFrs have the Bvlgari x Mary Katrantzou bag so you may want to go back through the thread to see who and then tag them regarding your handle wear query.

Yea the ombre one looks really beautiful and I agree I don't see it as a day bag. The black and white are also made of soft calfskin leather so this could probably easily to a scratch. I talked to my SA and she said this is a limited edition but it is small more of like a phone bag few cards and probably a lipstick that could fit inside.

Has anyone seen the new clutch in real life? It looks stunning & is of course sold out. Comes in 2 sizes but I prefer the look of the small.

I’ve seen the smaller size in the taupe colour. I think they call it moonbeam/light grey but it looked taupe in colour IRL. Very nicely made and the leather had a nice smooth finish but I want to see if they come out with any exotics in this style as I think this clutch would look incredible in an exotic skin.

I need some feedback on a couple of the Serpenti Forever bags I’m trying to decide between!
Initially I was set on getting the crossbody in coral, but after thinking about my collection and the fact that I already own several crossbody chain style bags, my eye has now been caught by the east west shoulder bag in the grey. I’ve always loved grey bags and yet to have one in my collection and I like how this one can be worn in a more casual sense. Love the adjustable strap too.
Would love to hear any thoughts or opinions on these - will the grey one be less timeless long term??
Have included pics for reference.

I am actually planning on getting this one on white hahha though this one seems small more like a clutch as the diameter is only 1.8 inches so not much you can fit in. Serpenti forever bag I say is a timeless bag. It's synonymous to Bvlgari as to Chanel 2.55. I don't think this style will be outdated anytime soon in fact if you look at the resale market the Bulgari bags are getting more popular maybe because a lot of people now starting to recognize Bulgari not just for its jewelry but now to the quality of their bags. And as for the color yes the more I look at this grey one the more I'm falling inlove nooooo hahah

I like the contrast on the first's hw better, but I like the grey too.

@A bottle of Red hi you have the white cabochon can you please tell me about Bvlgari white leather? Does it discolored (turning yellow) and how about color transfer ? I wanted to get a white bag but I am afraid of it after my disaster to YSL white bag.
