A Roman Temple is Created at London Heathrow in Partnership with Dufry
)
Dufry and Roman luxury house Bvlgari opened a new boutique at Heathrow Airport’s Terminal 3 in December 2021.
The 91 m2 store has been designed by Italian Interior Designer Peter Marino and celebrates Bvlgari’s rich Roman heritage. One of the boutique’s key features is a private VIP room where guests can try on the house’s fine watches and jewelry pieces. The VIP lounge was designed to mimic the ‘Il Salottino Taylor’ or Elizabeth Taylor Lounge – which was the famous American actress’s lounging room in the Bvlgari boutique in Via Condotti in Rome, where she would escape from the paparazzi and shop Bvlgari’s collections.

To celebrate the opening, Bvlgari released a limited-edition Serpenti Forever bag exclusively at Heathrow Airport. The cross body bag is crafted in calf leather and features a Carmine Jasper colourway. Bvlgari’s signature snakehead clasp has been reimagined with a full Carmine Jasper matt head with black onyx eyes. Only 50 pieces of the limited style has been produced exclusively for Bvlgari’s boutiques at Heathrow Airport.
