Fatto a Mano: The My Sicily Bag

An iconic design reimagined, carrying its heritage forward while giving rise to something entirely new. Classic elegance meets a refined, contemporary allure, seamlessly integrated into a modern context. Functional design merges with a cosmopolitan, versatile spirit, enhancing every look from morning to evening.

The Concept Behind an Icon

The bag is a heartfelt tribute to Sicily, its beauty, mystery, traditions, and vibrant colors. It expresses a strong sense of personality, deeply rooted in the island’s origins and values, yet interpreted through a fresh and unexpected perspective. The concept is born from the desire to convey a highly personal vision of style, where expression is guided solely by individual taste and character. The name My Sicily speaks directly to this intimate, personal dimension.

A Study Committed to Excellence

The excellence of Italian craftsmanship, expert workmanship, and refined plongé luxury leather, distinguished by its natural, softly glossy finish and nappa-like touch, comes together in a design shaped by careful study. The silhouette is soft yet structured, with side piping that preserves its form and enhances its compact elegance. Every element converges to create a piece that embodies passion, style, and individuality.

The Value of Functionality

Every detail of the My Sicily Bag is designed with practicality in mind. The tuck-in closure is enhanced by two discreet side magnets concealed beneath the flap, which is finished with a guilloché-patterned tag, an intricate ornamental engraving technique traditionally associated with fine watchmaking.

Tubular handles are paired with a padlock-style carabiner, echoing the vintage brass galvanised finish of the hardware. Designed to endure while retaining a luminous appearance, these elements are crafted with the same refinement and precision found in fine jewellery details.

From the closure to the removable handle, from the rear horizontal zip to the shoulder strap, and down to the cotton lining, every element is designed with functionality in mind. The engraved logo on the back completes the piece, adding a subtle yet iconic signature.

Touches of Uniqueness

Inside, a gold-foil embossed tag stamped with Dolce&Gabbana My Sicily Made in Italy underscores the bag’s authenticity, while leather trims reflect the meticulous attention to detail and artisanal expertise that define fine leather craftsmanship. The deeply personal nature of the design is further enhanced through customization: in selected stores and on the online boutique, the leather tag can be personalized with embossed initials using a film-stamping technique, marking the bag as a truly individual possession.

Bringing together heritage, innovation, craftsmanship, and thoughtful functionality, My Sicily stands as a refined expression of Italian artistry, an icon shaped by tradition yet unmistakably contemporary, where every detail reflects individuality, quality, and purpose. For those who wish to delve further into the world of Dolce&Gabbana and explore pieces that embody the same spirit of excellence, a curated selection is currently available through the seasonal sale at Sendegaro, offering an opportunity to experience timeless design through a modern lens.
