The BVLGARI brand is regarded in the fashion industry as one of the most glamorous, elaborate and stylish designer brands and has a history dating back to over 100 years ago. The Bulgari family descend from a line of Greek silversmiths who began trading silver objects in a village named Epirus over a century ago and the BVLGARI business founder was a man named Sotirio Bulgari.

At the end of the 19th century, Sotirio Bulgari and his family relocated to Italy with the hope of the business being more lucrative and in 1884 he opened his first shop on the via Sistina in Rome. In 1905, Bulgari and his sons Costantino and Giorgio, opened a further shop in via Condotti, which today still exists as the BVLGARI flagship store. The two sons wanted to expand upon their skills to help develop the family business and learnt the craft more extensively - becoming experts in precious stones, jewels and perfecting the art of watch making. As the years progressed, they took over the business from Sotirio, using their skills to widen the product ranges and take the business to the next level.

 
The 1970's marked the beginning of BVLGARI’S international expansion with the opening of their first overseas stores based in New York, Paris, Geneva, and Monte Carlo. In the early 1990's, the brand then launched BVLGARI perfumes which helped to establish BVLGARI’s status within the high end luxury market.
 
In 1984 Giorgio’s sons, Paolo and Nicola Bulgari became Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the Company, while their nephew, Francesco Trapani, was appointed Chief Executive Officer.
 
2001 saw BVLGARI announce the launch of Bulgari Hotels & Resorts which was a joint venture with Marriott International. The first Bulgari Hotel opened in 2004 in Milan, a tribute from BVLGARI to the world of luxury and situated in Milan’s most stylish location and only a short walk from the city’s fashion district. In 1997 BVLGARI then further extended its product lines to silk scarves, leather bags and eyewear collections, all of which were renowned for their exquisite and unique designs enhanced by the use of only the highest quality materials and manufacturing methods.
 
BVLGARI celebrated its 125th anniversary in 2009 and as a way of marking this significant anniversary, the brand launched a major fund-raising project for Save the Children’s “Rewrite the Future” campaign in the defence of children’s rights. BVLGARI has incredibly strong values and morals that involve helping those less fortunate by providing opportunity and ultimately helping to enrich the lives of others in need.
 
BVLGARI today is favoured for its highly sophisticated, unique and chic style, conveyed in all its products which to date include watches, jewellery, skincare, accessories, leather goods and sunglasses. Always at the cutting edge of fashion, whilst producing highly stylish products that reflect contemporary trends, the brand retains its classic BVLGARI image and is regarded as a highly sought after, exclusive designer label with people respecting its history and appreciating the creative fusion of where the old meets the modern.
 
BVLGARI sunglasses are predominantly designed for women and are perfect for ladies who like to express femininity and sophistication. The designs are beautifully and sometimes elaborately artistic with an array of glamorous styles including oversized, visors, wraparounds in addition to more traditional and classic designs; all of which boast the unique BVLGARI touch and are incredibly chic. The use of striking diamante stones and colour is also common throughout the collection with tones including tortoiseshell, brown, cream and pink featured and these sunglasses are the perfect style expression; adding a high-fashion, polished finish to your look. Many BVLGARI sunglasses also incorporate stunning embellishments and patterns positioned upon the hinge and extending down the length of the arm, whether this being a version of the brand logo or a pretty, striking and elegant independent design.  
 
BVLGARI sunglasses have an innovative style that defy seasonal trends but always appear right at the forefront of fashion, constantly being featured on the style pages and seen on the faces of numerous celebrities and fashion icons including Tara Reid, Victoria Beckham and Penelope Cruz. The brand maintains its original values of sourcing the finest materials and technologies to create the highest quality product possible which is also why BVLGARI is favoured on a worldwide scale.
 
Keen to inject elements of historical inspiration, BVLGARI is still today very much inspired by Greek and Roman culture, Italian Renaissance, and the 19th century Roman school of goldsmiths which is also represented in the collection of BVLGARI sunglasses whereby fine craftsmanship and fine attention to detail is clearly evident in each and every pair. Glamorous, chic and artistic; a pair of BVLGARI sunglasses are a timelessly stylish accessory that immediately exude femininity and elegance in addition to a confident, assured sense of style.
