Bulgari Serpenti Bag. Is It Worth It?

[papertiger]

I adore the serpenti! I have a large in metallic silver and a toy version in metallic sapphire. Best quality. Bvlgari’s attention to detail is incredible. The chain, the mirror it comes with (larger versions) the way they stamp logos throughout, while simultaneously being so discreet.

I will praise this bag to anyone who asks... I really don’t understand why it’s not much more popular. But I’m glad because it’s nice to carry something that’s not on every other girl’s shoulder. This is a lifetime piece, it will never date. It’s truly like wearing jewelry or art. Just a breathtaking bag.

I think it's great it's not too popular. It gives a feeling of mystique to the bag, fits nicely with the enamelled snake.

Yes, I agree so completely. This bag gives this elusive air... so sexy and edgy.

Wow, good things come in threes!

All equally stunning, a triple congratulations to you

Thank you @papertiger !! I could not decide which ONE or TWO so I just lost my mind and got all 3. Happy to have something different in my wardrobe vs same old same old.

Has anyone tried the Cabochon bags? Is the normal black calf leather prone to scratches? I have my eye on the karung leather (water snakeskin), I was told it is the most durable and scratch resistant.

I just wished it came in silver chain strap options with the green enamel eyes. Any advice on care and such, much appreciated!

They should both be fine

I’m looking to buy one of those with Karung leather. They seem soft and not as structured as the other leather ones. Would love to hear someone’s opinions or experiences?

Ok so I am not the only one with the obsession about the chain! I LOVE THE CHAIN!!! And yes of course the quality is so much better than Chanel, and I've been a Chanel girl for a long time (just getting out of it the last few months). I am contemplating getting a larger, more everyday bag, as I really do love how sleek and simple yet edgy and sexy they are. Did you get one yourself @splurgetothemax ?

What was your experience with the leather durability? Specifically the calfskin ...

Which calfskin?

 

[imej003]

The one they use to make the Serpenti Forever line.

Which calfskin?

The one they use on the Serpenti Forever line. Also, have you had any issues with the strap being too delicate? I'm leaning towards the Serpenti Diamond Blast Shoulder bag because they seem more durable for everyday use.

Yes but I only posted exotics?

Yes, I know, but I still wondered if you had any experience with the calfskin at all, as perhaps you own SLGs or other bags that were predominantly calfskin.

I do not I am sorry. I have only purchased exotics in Bulgari!
