Press release
In its Casual Chic universe, Bertolucci pioneers creations where the 4 “Cs” – the very essence of the brand – feature fully: Creativity, Curves, Comfort and Construction. The Italian Riviera, a source of ceaseless inspiration, and Switzerland, the technical expert, mingle and interweave to design new silhouettes playing with the softness of curves and the elegance of lines. Well-being is highlighted in designs which combine comfort and harmony, to be worn as daily luxury. Classic yet subtlety unique, the Casual Chic models marry simplicity and modernity to match any moment and mood of the day.
With Bella Costa, Bertolucci highlights the Sport side of its Casual Chic universe and offers a collection with a chic and functional look, positioned at an affordable price to attract all free spirits out there as well as the younger generation. An enrichment of this product universe, which Bertolucci simply had to explore in order to develop it according to your desires of leisure and relaxation.
The new Casual Chic Sport world lays emphasis on a strong look, practical and comfortable, with a touch of distinction to accompany elegantly your active wear and sportive moods.
A year after being launched, Bella Costa imposes its chic and sportive line by dressing up with new calibres, new finishing and a new metal bracelet.
Its steel case, artfully animated with an off-centered opening, protects new functions: the 3 central hands are enriched with the choice of either a Day-Date option or a second time zone with a big date. The time reading evolves on an original gradation of Arabic figures, echoing the sporty asymmetric bezel.
Easy-to-wear, easy-to-use, the models Bella Costa play with various executions to match all consumer's styles and envies: in fine-brushed steel & black PVD to reinforce its sporty side, in All Black version, resolutely modern and masculine, or adorning a bezel set with more than 60 diamonds for women, seeking to accessorise their active wear with a touch of elegance.
Mounted on a 3-row metal bracelet bringing comfort and resistance in a daily wearing, BELLA COSTA will become the ultimate accessory of your precious timeless moments of freedom and relaxation.
