Maria Marigliano Caracciolo "Chelsea in Bloom" Brunch at Veronica Beard Boutique, Chelsea.

by Hannibal Reitano

Book-Clutch designer Maria Marigliano Caracciolo celebrated Chelsea in Bloom with an exclusive floral brunch held in partnership with American luxury brand Veronica Beard.

The high-society fashion event fused literature, Italian sartorial style, and floral artistry.
The centrepiece of the celebration was Maria's latest collection of book-shaped clutches, paired with an immersive Flower installation. Each Book-Clutch is uniquely hand-crafted in the finest Italian book bindery located within Maria’s historic family Palazzo in Naples, merging heritage craftsmanship with modern elegance.
