Alright, so let’s talk Bulgari, and what’s worth checking out in 2024. I’ve been messing around with different pieces, doing my research, and seeing what holds up, what’s new, and what’s just plain awesome. Here’s the lowdown based on my own digging.
First off, I started by hitting up the Bulgari website, you know, just to see what’s being pushed hard. Always a good place to start. I then jumped onto a couple of forums, real casual-like, to see what people are actually buying and loving. You gotta get the real-world perspective, not just what Bulgari wants you to see.
Watches: Okay, the Octo Finissimo line is still killing it. I mean, it’s been around for a while, but the designs are just so slick and modern. I tried on the Octo Finissimo Ultra – that thing is insane! So thin, it’s almost unreal. Super pricey, yeah, but it’s a serious statement piece. I also looked at the Octo Roma. It’s a bit more everyday wearable, still cool, but less flashy. If you’re after something classic with a Bulgari twist, that’s the one.
Jewelry: This is where it gets fun. The Serpenti collection is always a winner. I spent a good hour in the store trying on different Serpenti bracelets. The classic ones are timeless, but they’ve got some new variations with different gemstones and enamel work that are seriously eye-catching. For something a bit more subtle, I checked out the *1 collection. It’s a bit more accessible price-wise, and the rings are cool and stackable. I actually ended up buying a *1 pendant – it’s a nice everyday piece.
Leather Goods & Accessories: I always like to browse the bags and wallets. Bulgari’s leather stuff is seriously underrated. I handled a few Serpenti Cabochon bags, and the leather quality is top-notch. The designs are bold without being too over-the-top. If you’re after a luxury bag that’s a bit different from the usual suspects, Bulgari’s worth a look. The wallets are also great – super functional and stylish. I was tempted to upgrade mine but decided to hold off for now.
To wrap things up, Bulgari’s got a lot to offer in 2024. The Octo Finissimo watches are still the kings, the Serpenti jewelry is timeless, and the leather goods are definitely worth a look. It all boils down to what you’re after. I would say hit up a boutique if you can and try a few things on. Pictures only tell half the story!
