THE CLUB

Benedetta Bruzziches is a brand that puts people at its centre, and it is people it wants to reach. Our bags are made with the care you give to things that matter, and, as you know, care is the enemy of haste: it never sits well with large numbers. That is why the Club exists. Because when you try to speak to everyone, you end up shouting. We would rather speak softly, almost under our breath, and build connections with those who, through the noise, can pick out our sound and catch its nuances. The Club is not about exclusion, nor about exclusivity. It is a boundary, to be discovered in the most positive sense of the word: not raised to keep people out, but drawn to welcome them, as carefully as possible.

The Club is our promise to you. We ask for your time and your attention, and we take on the responsibility of making sure that time is never wasted. We will never claim we are not trying to sell you anything: our value begins with a product, and every purchase is the backbone that lets us exist. But we promise that every word will be sincere, weighed and meant for you. That every message, every invitation, will be a moment able to add something to your days.

WHAT'S THE CLUB?

The Club is not a place you pass through, but a space for intentional choice, yours and ours.

It's a genuine way to build meaningful relationships with those who choose to be fully present, where every experience is designed as a mutual, measured, sincere, and heartfelt gesture.

We've chosen to make certain moments exclusive to members, so we can take the time and space needed to express our vision of sustainable luxury: not just in words, but through actions. A luxury not defined solely by materials, but by the way we choose to exist in the world. In your world. And by the way we invite you into ours.

For us, sustainability also means this: a form of presence, of listening, of inner integrity.

It's about reconnecting with what truly matters, and reclaiming what is truly valuable.

I’ve often wondered if it’s inevitable to choose between being nice or being right. Or even if it is illusory to think that we can be elegant but remain, together, genuine. I wouldn’t find the perfect answer 100 years ago. But sometimes, for mysterious reasons, it happens that prodigious people appear on Earth that these answers embody them to perfection. Raffaella was born as a tribute to the great Italian showgirl capable of dancing in perfect balance between (apparently) irreconcilable virtues. Organic and technological. Organic like sepals of an orchid and technological together like the hulls of a catamaran, Raffaella has a body that is a leather shell, potbelly and sharp, supported by a metal handle open to "C", with an irregular profile, obtained by laser cutting a metal plate of 4 mm. A small tubular, in leather or metal, combines body and handle as a basting, or if we want as a tendril on a vine shoot.

“I have often wondered whether it is inevitable to choose between being kind and being right. Whether it is an illusion to think you can be elegant and yet remain, at the same time, genuine.” says Benedetta Bruzziches. Raffaella Maria Roberta Pelloni was born in Bologna in 1943. As a child she went to study dance in Rome, at the Accademia Nazionale. At twenty she was acting in films. At twenty-seven she appeared on television with her midriff bare. RAI was flooded with letters of complaint. Raffaella Carrà became famous that night. She stayed famous for nearly sixty years. On her programmes she danced with the same naturalness with which she condemned hypocrisy. She sang about sexual freedom in prime time. In Spain they called her “Dios” In Italy they simply called her Raffaella: a name that over time became synonymous with something: joy, elegance, authenticity, all at once. She was right while remaining kind. Nobody ever understood how she did it. Or perhaps only she knew. “I stopped fighting the contradiction.”

Day-to-night bag to wear on the shoulder. Saturday morning over a coat, Wednesday evening over the dress you already had in mind since Monday. You hold the “C” handle differently depending on how you feel: at the wrist, between the fingers, resting on the shoulder. Raffaella follows your rhythm. She learnt from the best.

TO DO

Dance alone at home on any ordinary morning. Whatever music you want. No mirrors.

TO READ

Alda Merini, "La poesia non mi ha abbandonato", 2005. Two Italian women who never had to choose between body and soul.

TO WATCH

Bob Fosse, "Cabaret", 1972. Liza Minnelli as Sally Bowles: a woman who doesn’t stop dancing even when the world outside the cabaret is falling apart. The same ability to hold joy and awareness together.
