Does Bvlgari Iconic Handbags go on sale?

[shopgalore]

Hello Ladies

I've recently discovered the Bvlgari handbags as I thought they were only good at jewellery.

Having seen these bags in person they feel very good quality.

Just wondering whether their iconic bags e.g Serpenti Forever Top Handle bags go on sale? If so when?

Also, which Bvlgari store provides the best experience with service and stock of handbags?

Many thanks for any help🙏

I don’t think so, but there are a number on sites like Fashionphile.

i think @A bottle of Red has a Bulgari bag and might know (apologies if I am mistaken)

Yes I have two Bvlgari bags plus a card holder, and they look gorgeous, though unfortunately the quality and aftercare was very lacking.
both bags started to peel where the chain rubbed the leather inside the flap after less than two years. The karung bag I wore maybe 5 times before it peeled and showed a weird rust color underneath.
The bags were sent to Florence where I was told they glued it down and then not wrapped properly when it was shipped back so they were damaged.
I called and emailed the nyc flagship numerous times ( after the location I purchased from laughed me off the phone) and they basically said they couldn't care less.
Honestly I have not used them since so they're expensive bags sitting on my shelf.

I recall having seen a Youtuber shopping at a Bvlgari airport boutique in...Dubai? London? Not sure exactly. And that boutique had some of its bags on sale at the time. So, it does happen, but I don't know if it's a certain time of year and if it applies to all boutiques or just some.

These recently came on my radar too and I have been obsessing ever since. I haven't heard of any going on sale though I have seen many on retail market but would be fearful about authenticity as it seems there may be some heavily replicated styles. I was fortunate enough to finally get to see a few bags in person when I was in Paris a couple months ago (both at Champs Elysee store and inside Galeries Lafayette Hausmann) and loved but very disappointing to hear about @A bottle of Red's experience with quality.
