By Andrea Sim,
The adjective "statement-making" gets tossed around endlessly in fashion every single season — often a prefix to whatever new crossbody/top handle/tote/clutch fresh on the shop floors. But when we say Bonia has rolled out "statement-makers" here, what we really mean is that their bags are inherently no stranger to being unapologetically bold, having been inspired by theatre.
They borrow from the plush, gilded interiors of Italy's Teatro di San Carlo in Naples (translation: opera house), manifesting in the glinting base plates of the accessories, croc-embossed calf leather body, with fur charms and golden tassels tacked on for good measure. Now that's what we deem the good kind of drama. Favourites below.
