{"product_id":"vintage-roberta-di-camerino-velvet-shoulder-bag","title":"Vintage Roberta di Camerino Velvet Shoulder Bag","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAn unmistakably chic vintage handbag by Italian house Roberta di Camerino, made from in what I believe is a silk velvet in a rich jewel-toned raspberry and burgundy hue with graphic black velvet detailing and polished gold-tone hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFounded in Venice in 1945 by Giuliana Camerino, Roberta di Camerino became internationally celebrated for transforming the handbag from a simple accessory into a true fashion object. The house became renowned for its luxurious Venetian velvets, sculptural silhouettes and distinctive hardware, attracting admirers including Grace Kelly and Elizabeth Taylor. Today, vintage Roberta di Camerino bags remain highly sought after by collectors for their unmistakable glamour and uniquely Italian sense of style, with the house’s iconic velvet designs regularly commanding significant prices on the international resale market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe sculptural silhouette and elongated shoulder straps give this bag a distinctly late 1960s to 1970s feel, while the velvet catches the light beautifully, shifting between deep wine, berry and fuchsia tones depending on how it is worn. Signature gold-tone hardware details and the iconic “R” motif complete the design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe interior is lined in supple red leather and stamped with the Roberta di Camerino logo, offering a luxurious contrast to the plush velvet exterior. Compact yet surprisingly practical, it comfortably accommodates your essentials while making a statement all of its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis is the sort of handbag that needs very little styling — equally at home with denim and a white shirt as it is with tailoring, velvet or eveningwear. Rare, playful and unmistakably Italian.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003ePresented in very good vintage condition with light signs of age and wear commensurate with its vintage nature. The velvet remains vibrant and plush, and the interior is clean and well kept.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage Swag Disclaimer: \u003c\/strong\u003ePlease note that all of our items are vintage or pre-loved unless otherwise stated and may show minor signs of wear commensurate with age.
