It is in Sicily that the key to everything is found "[...]
"The purity of the contours, the softness of everything, the yielding interchangeability of the colors, the harmonious unity of the sky with the sea and the sea with the earth ... whoever has seen them only once, will possess them for life" .
Borbone Borse
Our History
The colors of the sun, the sea, the nature that adorn the splendid Sicily, set in a precious artefact unique of its kind, an expression of art, refinement and bond with one's land.
This is the philosophy with which the Bourbon brand was born.
Artistic bags by Borbone take shape in the awareness that the past and the future are inextricably linked by a thread, which intertwines with each other in tight links: tradition, ancient manufacturing, culture, elegance, art, innovation and vision. Through this vision the “Coffa”, from an evocative symbol of popular Sicilianity, rises to a prestigious artistic fashion garment, full of identity and contradictions. The coffa, molded with materials far from tradition, comes to a new life and is enhanced in the details masterfully made by Sicilian Masters of Art who have embraced this idea with passion and dedication. Each artifact is unique and unrepeatable, just as unique and unrepeatable are the colors, emotions, sensations, perceptions, flavors and aromas that Sicily, this wonderful triangle of land in the middle of the sea is able to give.
The designer Anna
Anna Maria Bonafede was born in Catania on July 28, 1966. Always in love with her land, she began from an early age to attend a company of Sicilian folk songs and dances called "I Canterini Etnei". In this way she becomes a healthy carrier of colors, sounds, culture and traditions of her beloved Sicily in Europe.
As a child, observing her grandmother, she learned the art of sewing and embroidery. Thus he realizes his first creations in Sicilian Parade and Crochet. Despite his career path has been differently oriented, he continues to cultivate his skills and passions with constancy and dedication until, one day, he did his job.

Our History
This is seriously one of those journeys that started for fun.
Anna, wife of Filippo and mother of Michele and Giorgio, as often happened in cultivating her passions, was intent on creating something that no one had ever seen her do until then. It seemed to be a bag, a "Sicilian Coffa" but no one had ever seen them create one, much less so. Over time, the creature took shape, with the support of Filippo, who as a young man tried his hand at the art of tailoring, was enriched with gold, details and decisive color contrasts. It was ready and had nothing like what it used to be. It seemed to be an ancient artifact, a baroque contaminated by an idea of innovation, a royalty of today.
So it was that after a few moments of silence, Michele said: "You should definitely do a job!" And so it was. The Journey began ... Borbone is the family surname and observing that bag, it became the name of the brand. Sicily was the land of all civilizations and a symbol was needed that could in some way identify, through Anna's creations, its millennial history. Thus Bourbon was born in the sign of fleur-de-lis, a symbol of purity present in the culture of all peoples, modernized and graceful, which in honor of Catania and the Etna Volcano, was dyed red.
Our Idea of Fashion
Sicily, an extraordinary triangle of land in the middle of the sea, kissed by the sun. Queen adorned with orange and lemon colors, surrounded by stars, scented with orange blossom, proud at the foot of the Volcano. Millennial cradle of cultures, art, traditions.
Land of all peoples and people of all lands.
Embedding all this in a precious handmade item, one of a kind, is the philosophy of the Bourbon brand. Artistic Coffa Bags By Borbone take shape in the awareness that the past and the future are inextricably linked by a thread, which intertwines with each other in tight links: tradition, ancient manufactures, culture, elegance, art, innovation and vision. Through our vision, the “Coffa”, from an evocative symbol of popular Sicilianity, rises to a prestigious garment of artistic fashion, full of identity and contradictions. Through our vision, every woman will not carry a simple bag with her, but the lightness, color, scent, identity of her own land.
Borbone Borse
Our Mission
The creativity of the brand is aimed at promoting Sicilianity in the world, through works full of identity and at the same time of contradictions. Each Artistic coffa bag By Borbone is born with its own specific style, unique and not replicable in order to represent and reinterpret characteristic traits of Sicilianity, of the artistic styles, of the most varied historical and cultural nuances that characterize and distinguish this land, with a pinch of contamination that characterizes our works.
