Inspired by the灵蛇 (spiritual snake), Serpenti has always been one of BVLGARI’s most iconic collections. The year 2025 marks the Year of the Snake in the Chinese zodiac, and to celebrate the灵蛇, which symbolizes infinite transformation, BVLGARI is introducing a new member to the Serpenti collection: the Serpenti Cuore 1968 handbag. Its heart shape, divided into two halves, is intertwined with a golden handle resembling a snake’s body, akin to a love letter dedicated to one of BVLGARI’s most timeless classics.
The Serpenti Cuore 1968 handbag, with its chic bag shape resembling a heart split in two, features a snake-shaped metal handle inspired by the brand’s classic pieces and jewelry DNA. It evokes memories of the famous BVLGARI Serpenti Harlequin jewelry watch from 1968, a classic timepiece adorned with painted enamel.
The bag is crafted from supple calfskin, with its curved silhouette enhanced by padding, highlighting its unique shape—a testament to timeless beauty and exceptional craftsmanship. The enchanting lines of the bag’s design are complemented by a handle made of gold-plated brass, produced using intricate de-waxing techniques. Each enamel scale on the snake body showcases the brand’s extraordinary craftsmanship, an essential element present in all of BVLGARI’s creations.
The Serpenti Cuore 1968 handbag perfectly embodies the transformation and multifunctionality of the Serpenti line. With its detachable chain shoulder strap, the bag can be carried in a practical crossbody style or by hand, seamlessly adapting to different occasions and styles. The handbag is available in a variety of color options, including Ferrosa turquoise, rose pink, royal ruby, pearl white, and black, with enamel-painted Serpenti featuring colors that complement the calfskin tones. The enchanting snake eyes on the handle are presented in striking contrasting hues.
In addition, the Serpenti Cuore 1968 handbag features a crystal version fully adorned with nearly 5,000 crystals, beautifully sculptural and perfect for adding a touch of sparkle to evening wear.
