Bling is back! Following a shockingly lowkey clean girl summer (or the sleezier, but equally stripped-back brat summer), Dolce & Gabbana’s new Sicily Bag is sending a clear message: autumn fashion is about high-glamour moments that pull inspiration from La Dolce Vita, Monica Bellucci and Kim Kardashian – three of the designers’ most cherished muses. Think black lace, red lipstick and fur with a rocker-edge.
Eschewing the sunny patterns and bright colours that come to mind when one even hears the word “Dolce”, this offering – straight from the autumn/winter 2024-2025 accessories line – is made for evening adventures. In a sleek black leather with thermostrass embellishments – where crystals are attached with heat – the Sicily feels perfect for storing your keys, lipstick (and a cheeky ciggie) on a night out. Imagine bar hopping through the cobbled streets of Trastavere with the Sicily thrown over your shoulders (or not, thanks to a removable strap). Bliss.
It’s unabashedly edgy, too. Pair it with heavy eye makeup, a black leather dress and heels for a just-hopped-out-of-the-club-bathroom-slash-Julia-Fox-on-tour look, or chuck on a pair of low-rise denims and a cropped band tee for a slightly more dressed-down moment. Either way, the Sicily Bag is sure to add a sense of hard-core glamour to your autumn wardrobe.
