Bvlgari

The name "Bvlgari" is influential in the luxury world. The Italian label is best known for its sophisticated wristwatches, finest leather goods (bags, wallets, etc.), gorgeous jewelry, and exquisite fragrances. The brand was founded as early as 1884 by the jewelry manufacturer Sotirio Bulgari and was changed to be displayed as "Bvlgari" in classical Latin alphabet in 1934 for stylistic purposes and pays tribute to Sotirio’s Greek name, Sotirios Voulgaris. The founder first offered his jewelry in his hometown, but from 1877 he lived in Corfu and then went to Naples. Due to the success of his jewelry, Voulgaris was finally able to open several stores in Rome in 1881. After Sotirios passed away in 1932, his sons Costantino and Giorgio responsibly handled the label. In the 20th century, "Bvlgari" focused more on the fragrance division. Simultaneously, the company benefited from the emerging film industry. "Bvlgari" became more and more a global player and opened stores in the US, France, Switzerland, and Monaco. From the 1980s, the brand was considered the third largest jewelry label worldwide. Bvlgari's jewelry and watches play in the top league in terms of material, craftsmanship, design, and innovation. All questions about quality and standards were immediately dropped when Tom Cruise in "Minority Report" and Robert Downey Jr. in "Iron Man" wore a "Bvlgari" on their wrist. In addition, "Bvlgari" regularly donates to the "Save The Children" organization to support students, teachers, and schools.
