A woman considers her purse as an extension of herself. It is the place where she can find what she needs but it is also a more intimate space in which to keep all the things she loves close. It is much easier to fill a purse than to eliminate something from it… because in reality everything is necessary or helps to experience an emotion. A diary with the memories of her last trip, her favorite perfume… It’s hard to give something up, but why should we?
The perfect tote for every day
The solution lies in a square bag, wide and capacious, with a practical opening and leather handles, perfect for all daily activities and informal occasions. An object created by the skilled hands of Italian craftsmen that differs from any other tote especially because of the precious velvet that covers it. The Bevilacqua Tote is in fact made of two kinds of fabric which correspond with two sizes: “Leoni Bizantini” heddle velvet in different colors and “Soprarizzo Leoni” handmade velvet. It bears the Tessitura Bevilacqua logo, which has an ancient history and was chosen by the Bevilacqua family in 2005 to represent its business.
A timeless symbol
The subject of the logo, that arrived in Venice from ancient Persia along with silk, shows two lions with the tree of life between them. A harmonious and elegant composition that contains a deep meaning. In fact, the lion, a strong and powerful animal, has always symbolized protection. The two lions of the Bevilacqua logo preserve and defend the tree of life, a mystical and magical symbol for countless beliefs and religions that represents, with some nuances, the forces that generate birth and rebirth, death and immortality, transformation and knowledge.
The logo of Bevilacqua is therefore a symbol that comes from afar, embracing different cultures and wide temporal spaces and encompasses strength, energy and positivity. And just as the Byzantine lions are guarding the tree of life, they also want to protect the items we hold dear inside the tote bag that they embellish, in an original combination of Italian craftsmanship and Venetian tradition in the production of precious fabrics.
