Width (Length): 8.25 inches Height: 5.9 inches Depth: 2.75 inches Strap Length: 54.3 inches Notes from the Curator Roberta di Camerino bags have been carried by Grace Kelly and Coco Chanel and have been symbols of Venetian elegance since founder Giuliana Coen established the house in 1945. In 1946, she made a bag patterned with a trellis of R's, foreshadowing Gucci's G's, a detail that underscores the quiet gold R monogram badge on this black Precious Book shoulder bag. Giuliana Coen's trademark was trompe l'oeil woven into velvet, though the house produced leather and textile bags throughout its peak decades; the red satin lining printed with scattered R's—visible through the double-compartment interior—echoes that signature motif in a playful inversion. The brass hardware was created by Venetian craftsmen who produced ornaments for gondolas, a collaboration that rooted each piece in the city's artisan economy. This satchel's silhouette nods to the doctor's-bag shape that inspired the legendary velvet Bagonghi of the 1950s, translated here into smooth black leather trimmed with a suede-like panel.
