About the Serpenti Forever

Launched in 2016, the Serpenti Forever is Bvlgari's modern interpretation of the house's serpent motif that dates back to the 1940s, defined by a stamped snake-scale leather flap and a metal snake-head clasp with enamel detailing and faceted eyes, echoing the coiled Serpenti jewelry watches Bvlgari popularized decades earlier.
