Description
Height: 4 in Length: 7.5 in Depth: 1.25 in CHAIN IS NOT FROM BVLGARI Shoulder Drop: 24 in Notes from the Curator Bvlgari's Logomania line offers a playful, textural inversion of the house's most recognizable asset: the double-U spelling adopted in 1934 to evoke the lapidary inscriptions of ancient Rome. In classical Latin the letter V served the function of U, and that orthographic choice—still read aloud as "Bulgari"—links every piece to the brand's Roman flagship and its founding silversmith Sotirio Voulgaris. The wallet before us lays the logo out in tonal relief across black canvas; each letter is stitched and embossed so that the pattern is tactile rather than graphic, catching light rather than color. The snap-clasp closure and bifold interior speak to Continental travel wallets of the late twentieth century, when monogram canvas first moved from steamer trunks to pocket goods. Logomania pieces remain in active production as a dedicated collection within Bvlgari's accessories range, ensuring that examples like this one can be dated to the maison's modern era yet carry the unmistakable codes of its century-long leather-goods heritage.
