Veli di Luce: Autumn/Winter Collection Meets Live Art in Milan
This autumn, BONAVENTURA unveils its new Autumn/Winter Collection “Veli di Luce”, a celebration of timeless Milanese elegance and Italian craftsmanship. More than a seasonal launch, the collection will debut during Milano Fashion Week alongside a special live art event in collaboration with Italian painter Elena Biancalana.
From September 24–28, 2025, the BONAVENTURA boutique at Corso Giacomo Matteotti 3 in Milan will transform into a creative stage, where Biancalana will dedicate over 30 hours to a live painting performance. Visitors are invited to witness this unique intersection of contemporary art and heritage craftsmanship, experiencing firsthand how the spirit of Milan inspires both canvas and leather.
Inspiration: “Veils of Light”
The creative vision behind Veli di Luce draws from the fleeting beauty of Milan’s golden hour, when soft light brushes the city’s timeless grey architecture with warmth and depth. This poetic transformation is translated into the seasonal shades Almond Pink and Charcoal Gray, evoking subtle refinement and quiet luxury.
That same atmosphere comes alive within the boutique during Milano Fashion Week, where Elena Biancalana paints her interpretation of the golden hour in real time. Her live performance mirrors the philosophy of the collection: capturing ephemeral beauty and transforming it into something lasting. The collaboration bridges two worlds—art and craftsmanship—while offering visitors a rare opportunity to see inspiration unfold before their eyes.
Collection Highlights
Among the treasures of Veli di Luce, one piece stands out as the embodiment of modern elegance: the Angelica Bucket Bag. Designed as a versatile everyday companion, Angelica combines a structured silhouette with effortless functionality. Its spacious interior and clean lines make it a practical choice, while the refined detailing and seasonal color palette transform it into a statement of quiet luxury. The bag can be styled over the shoulder or carried by hand, offering flexibility for day-to-night transitions. With its minimalist yet distinctive design, Angelica is poised to become a new BONAVENTURA icon.
The collection also features the debut of the Mina Bucket Bag, a more compact interpretation of the bucket style, offering an equally sophisticated option for those seeking subtlety and ease. Both new silhouettes bring fresh energy to BONAVENTURA’s portfolio, enriching the narrative of timeless craftsmanship with contemporary form.
Alongside these debuts, BONAVENTURA continues to honor its classics—the Mia Tote Bag, admired for its timeless structure, and the Emma Bag, celebrated for its elegant proportions. These icons, though nearly sold out, remain beloved symbols of Milanese refinement.
Completing the collection is a carefully curated range of accessories, including iPhone cases, wallets, and keychains. Each accessory is designed with the same devotion to craftsmanship, bringing elegance into even the smallest details of everyday life.
Craftsmanship & Heritage
Every bag and accessory in Veli di Luce is born from Italian artisanship. BONAVENTURA collaborates with Europe’s finest tanneries to source premium leathers such as Shrink Leather and Nobile, chosen for their durability, texture, and natural elegance. These materials age gracefully, developing a patina that tells the story of their wearer.
The artisans’ dedication to detail ensures each stitch, seam, and proportion aligns with BONAVENTURA’s commitment to timeless design. Rather than chasing trends, the brand honors quiet luxury: clean lines, subtle colors, and forms that remain relevant across seasons. Each piece is a testament to heritage infused with modern sophistication.
Exclusivity & Where to Buy
As a limited edition, Veli di Luce is available only in select quantities, ensuring that each item remains a rare treasure. Customers can explore the collection in BONAVENTURA boutiques worldwide and via the official online boutique.
The centerpiece of the launch is the Milan flagship boutique at Corso Giacomo Matteotti, 3, where the live art performance by Elena Biancalana takes place. Visitors not only discover the collection in its birthplace but also immerse themselves in an event that unites fashion, art, and culture at the heart of Milan’s Fashion Week.
The Veli di Luce collection invites you to experience BONAVENTURA’s world of artistry and elegance—where every piece reflects the beauty of Milan’s golden hour.
