The design features a sophisticated interplay between structured brown leather and the brand’s world-renowned cut velvet, woven on historic antique looms to achieve a chromatic depth unique to the brand. This piece reflects the 1996 revival era of the label, characterized by re-issued classics and modernist silhouettes that appealed to the decade’s lean toward functional luxury. The messenger style offers a practical, larger-format alternative to the traditional Bagonghi, featuring ample interior space and a durable leather strap for comfortable crossbody or shoulder wear. Accented with the signature gilt "R" logo hardware and meticulous Italian stitching, the bag carries the same "trompe l'oeil" artistic spirit that made Roberta di Camerino a favorite of style icons like Grace Kelly and Madonna. Its warm chocolate and earth-toned palette ensures it remains a versatile statement piece, bridging the gap between vintage 20th-century glamour and contemporary urban utility. It's in excellent condition.
