The Dolce Bag from the 2012 Spring/Summer Dolce & Gabbana collection has become the it-bag of the season. The Dolce Bag is available in a variety of materials and finishes in fun, springy pastel colors, but the woven version of the tiny, opulent purse has been especially popular and has been spotted on the arm of Claudia Schiffer, Monica Bellucci and Bianca Balti.
The Dolce Bag has a gold metal padlock and can be purchased in straw, python, leather or aluminum foil, and is available in lots of colors including pastels, primaries and metallics, as well as animal prints. The structured bag has a short handle perfect for elbow-hooking, and given the variety of versions available, can fit seamlessly into any wardrobe for the cool price of $1,975.
