Coccodrillo velvet is characterized by an irregular pattern that mimics the skin of the crocodile, emphasized by the three-dimensionality of the pile and the relief effects of the technique. The result is a sophisticated fabric with an exotic aura but very current and edgy. We have chosen it to create some of our most beautiful bags with a bold and elegant look: the Coccodrillo collection.
Antique Pink Coccodrillo Velvet for the Isabella Purse
The color pink was very much in vogue at the court of King Louis XV and is now considered the color of femininity par excellence. Coccodrillo velvet in antique pink is so elegant that it perfectly suits the Isabella purse. It’s an accessory that would be reductive to relegate to the inside of a bag. In fact, with its clean gusset shape and golden metal details, it becomes a refined micro handbag to enhance an elegant or informal look. On the other hand, even its name is inspired by a true connoisseur of femininity, Isabella Cortese, who in the 16th century published a book that dealt, among other things, with cosmetics and perfumes.

Indigo Coccodrillo Velvet for Anna, Artemisia and Antonia Bags
In the past, there were many pigments to obtain the color blue and they have changed over the centuries. But what hasn’t changed is the sense of serenity that this color instills and its great elegance. Also, the indigo color enhances the beauty of our Coccodrillo velvet with the mutability of its shades that vary depending on how the light reflects on the shiny velvet pile. And our bags made with this fabric have the same subtle charm.
Anna baguette, Artemisia doctor bag and Antonia, made of this velvet in the indigo hue, become precious accessories, perfect to dare with a color of subtle refinement. In particular, it enhances the original round silhouette of the Antonia, a cross-body bag that brings lightheartedness to spring days or a touch of liveliness to the gray winter ones. A gritty accessory, perfect to add a touch of understated elegance to a casual or formal outfit.

Olive Green Coccodrillo Velvet for the Anna and Artemisia Bags
The shade of green we chose for the Coccodrillo velvet, olive green, evokes the colors of the earth, restful and warm, but also recalls the original look of the crocodile skin. Anna is a lavish and dynamic baguette, with a linear and clean silhouette, which can be carried either by hand or over the shoulder. An aristocratic day bag, like the Byzantine noblewoman it is inspired by, Anna Notaras Paleologina, and that can transform any outfit with its sophistication.
Artemisia day bag has a classic line that recalls that of the doctors’ bags. A capacious one, with a chic and irresistibly vintage allure. It is versatile and thanks to the removable shoulder strap, it can also be carried on the shoulder. A precious accessory with a strong personality that stands out for its retro silhouette and luxurious iridescent velvet.

Bevilacqua Bags in Black Coccodrillo Velvet
But the color that best highlights the elegance of Coccodrillo velvet is black, whose depth plays with the reflections that light creates on the pile. A color that we have chosen exclusively for some of our bags, all handmade by the best Venetian craftsmen: Bianca, Maddalena and Antonia, which in the black velvet version becomes the classy passepartout for every occasion.
Bianca clutch is an accessory of refined beauty for a unique, modern and sophisticated style. Elegant and versatile, it can be held by hand, hung on the wrist with the thin golden chain or carried on the shoulder with the long strap with which it is equipped. Perfect for the evening, it can hold your wallet or other small objects, blending style and functionality.
Maddalena is a luxurious tote with elegant golden chain handles and soft leather details. Its silhouette is elegant but not demanding and is perfect for daytime. It has all the space to carry even the superfluous and always makes you feel like the center of attention.
