BRINGING YOU A STORIED ITALIAN BRAND... THE ELEGANCE OF ROBERTA DI CAMERINO LIES ENTIRELY IN THE SINUOUS SIMPLICITY OF ITS EMBLEM - THE ICONIC R, WITH ITS ANTIQUE YET CONTEMPORARY FEEL. THE LABEL HAS A PRESTIGIOUS HISTORY, BELOVED BY GLOBAL CELEBRITIES FOR OVER HALF A CENTURY. NOW, THE LINE'S PAST SERVES AS INSPIRATION FOR A NEW 2012 SPRING-SUMMER COLLECTION.

THE BUTTERFLY BAG, RENDERED SPLENDIDLY IN SHERBET TONES AND NATURAL MATERIALS FEATURES

THE MAISON'S FAMOUS PRINT, SEAMLESSLY UPDATED FOR A CONTEMPORARY AUDIENCE.

THE BAGONGHI BAG FIRST GAINED GLOBAL FAME IN 1956 ON THE ARM OF GRACE KELLY AND HAS SUBSEQUENTLY EARNED THE ADMIRATION OF SUPERSTARS SUCH AS ELIZABETH TAYLOR, GINA LOLLOBRIGIDA, ISABELLA ROSSELLINI AND MADONNA. THE WOMAN BEHIND THE BAGONGHI BAG IS GIULIANA COEN, AN EXTRAORDINARY INNOVATOR WHO WAS THE VERY FIRST TO DESIGN BAGS INCORPORATING THE FAMOUS VENETIAN "SOPRARIZZO" VELVETS– WOVEN FABRICS IN RICH COLORS THAT HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY USED FOR UPHOLSTERY AND ECCLESIASTICAL ROBES.

COEN CALLED UPON THE MANUFACTURERS OF GONDOLA BRASS TO SUPPLY THE BAG'S CLASPS AND STUDS. THIS REVOLUTIONARY NEW DESIGN WAS MARKETED IN AN EQUALLY INNOVATIVE MANNER: AT LAVISH PARTIES THAT WERE HOTLY ANTICIPATED BY MEMBERS OF THE INTERNATIONAL PRESS. IN 1980, THE WHITNEY MUSEUM OF AMERICAN ART GRANTED ROBERTA DI CAMERINO THE HONOR OF A FULL RETROSPECTIVE. HER UNMISTAKABLE STYLE STILL EXERTS A POWERFUL INFLUENCE OVER DESIGNERS TODAY; HER UNIQUE CREATIONS CONTINUING TO COMMAND ATTENTION.
