Bruno Frisoni is a man after our own hearts! For the iconic shoe brand, Roger Vivier‘s Fall Couture Collection, he chose to focus on the ultimate accessory, the handbag. Black feathers, agate stones, Lesage-embroidered clutches and other luxurious details make the line dramatic yet utterly wearable. Frisoni explains his fascination with bags: “You can place them on a shelf, dress them up or undress them, hide your love letters in them.” Okay, so the feathered piece on the upper left looks like a crazy mess but look closely and you’ll see the delicate chains are being held down by dragonflies!
I am most intrigued by the genuine gold leaf paint on the simple black crocodile bag, it’s like a glittering piece of jewel and has a very glamorous old world appeal. The workmanship is incredible, I hope to one day see them in person–

Oh my, these are darlings! Especially the two on the right. Indeed, dress them or undress them ( in my case probably the latter ). I´ve heard that other brands are also into these couture bags, prices naturally sky high. Sigh.
Stunning! Perhaps true decadence is not dead afterall.
I love the fantasy and dreamlike details of the bags
Serious eye candy.
“You can place them on a shelf, dress them up or undress them, hide your love letters in them.”
I love this quote, and I think it truly shows the fascination, adoration and love for the bags. The bags are all serious eyecandies, with designs that are so fresh. I can’t wait to see them in person and be dazzled.
so am i the only person who thinks that these bags are hideous?!? i mean, i understand the excitement over having a couture handbag, but these are fugly. maybe i need to see them in person (which is impossible…o well).
I´m afraid you are ;). These are so not fugly at all. Beauties is the right word, and yes, I too would place them on a shelf, not in dustbags.
i think you may be right…lol. i have a feeling that all of you would be singing a different tune if these bags were louis vuitton or gucci.
i love the croc one! very cool how it resembles a much classier version of a zebra print. and each one would be slightly different according to the skin.
I AGREES with you Michael on this one. I find nothing appealing regarding any of these. While the workmanship may be good, they are still ugly. Maybe they look different in person, but for some reason I thought Tina featured these as “SLOBS.” I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
wow, I love the croc one… and the black… These are absolutely stunning!
