Roman Lights

The Roman Lights scarf celebrates the unique light that shapes the spectacular beauty of the Eternal City. The motif plays on different levels, depicting modern Rome’s skyline in the foreground while representing classical Rome in the background. Like a telescope overlooking the city, a Bulgari ring is the luminous heart producing beams of light animated by a shower of lilies, the flower that in mythology connected the world of the gods to that of humans.


Snake intrigue

“Snake intrigue” scarf is a tribute to the 75th anniversary of Bulgari's icon of endless metamorphosis. With precious serpents sinuously intertwining one another and slithering around the emblematic snake body-shaped chains of Bulgari's Leather Goods, the motif celebrates 75 years of creativity, glamour and alluring transformations.


Moneta Augustus

Crafted in fine antique gold silk twill and enriched by the sparkling touch of jacquard lurex for the external Bulgari logo frame, the AVGVSTVS scarf features a hand-printed and therefore unique motif representing an ancient coin with the portrait of emperor Augustus. While in Imperial Rome these artefacts were considered as symbols of power and glory, here the imaginary coin represents a tribute to Bulgari's 140th anniversary, encircled by the inscription "Bvlgari Roma 1884-2024" as a display of the Maison's indissoluble bond with Rome.
