Sandra‘s Closet

The Roar Bag by Roberto Cavalli is a striking fashion accessory that perfectly captures the brand’s bold, luxurious spirit. Designed under the creative eye of Fausto Puglisi, the bag is inspired by a vintage Cavalli necklace and is instantly recognizable thanks to its distinctive handle – two sculpted tiger heads adorned with shimmering crystals. These fierce details symbolize both power and refined elegance.

With Fausto Puglisi, who designed the Roar bag, for the first collection under his creative direction.

Crafted from premium materials like crocodile-embossed leather, the Roar Bag comes in several sizes – mini, medium, and large – plus in a hobo shape, offering something for every style and occasion. Its sleek shape and jewel-like hardware make it a true statement piece, whether you choose a classic color or one of the vibrant, jewel-toned versions from the S/S 2025 collection.

Wearing my vintage Cavalli necklace that inspired Fausto Puglisi to create the Roar bag with its distinctive handle.

Harald Glööckler and I wore our Roar bags (large and small size) in a recent episode of MY STYLE ROCKS.

This season’s update includes new mini formats and richly embellished designs that push the boundaries of Cavalli’s glamorous aesthetic. Whether paired with a minimalist outfit or used as a bold contrast to casual wear, the Roar Bag is designed to turn heads and elevate any look.

I was thrilled to hear about the appointment of Pierpaolo Piccioli as the new creative director of Balenciaga. Having had the chance to meet him personally, I was deeply impressed not only by his creative vision but also by his warmth and humility. His work at Valentino was nothing short of exceptional — poetic, elegant, and deeply human.

I loved Valentino under Pierpaolo.

With a career spanning over two decades, Pierpaolo began as an accessories designer at Fendi before joining Valentino in 1999. He rose to become co-creative director alongside Maria Grazia Chiuri, and later took the helm as sole creative director in 2016. Under his leadership, Valentino embraced a romantic, emotionally resonant aesthetic that combined timeless beauty with a strong message of inclusivity and humanity.

Balenciaga, on the other hand, has long stood for radical innovation, architectural silhouettes, and a provocative spirit. Founded by Cristóbal Balenciaga — a true master of form and construction — the house has never been afraid to challenge norms and push boundaries. It is today owned by the Kering Group.

Pierpaolo’s arrival marks a fascinating and bold shift. It’s not only a meeting of two strong creative identities — it’s also likely a turning point for Balenciaga itself. After years of dominating the streetwear conversation under the leadership of Demna, who is heading to Gucci, and pushing shock-value aesthetics, this move could signal the end of that era. With Piccioli, we may see a return to emotion, craftsmanship, and elegance — a more refined and soulful vision of luxury.

I believe this is a powerful, forward-thinking decision and an exciting new chapter for both Piccioli and the house of Balenciaga.
