THE SYMBOLS
Every BVONA FORTVNA bag carries a symbol. Not as decoration. As intention.
These gold charms are drawn from centuries of Italian belief, folklore and tradition — passed down through families, worn for protection, carried for fortune. We grew up with them. We made them wearable.
Choose the symbol that speaks to you. It is included with your bag.
SACRO CUORE
Sacred Heart. The majestic flaming heart represents the transformative power of divine love. Worn for protection, devotion and the courage that comes from faith.
MANO CORNUTA
The Horned Hand. One of the most powerful old world gestures used to ward off the evil eye. Wear your Mano Cornuta and let it deflect what should not come near you.
SERPENTE
The Serpent. Il Serpente brings good fortune to those who treat it with respect and kindness. A symbol of wisdom, renewal and transformation — the snake sheds what no longer serves it.
IN BOCCA AL LUPO
Into the Wolf's Mouth. The traditional Italian wish for good luck. To receive it, you reply: Crepi lupo — May the Wolf Die. Carry this charm and go boldly into whatever comes next.
TREDICI
Thirteen. In Italy, thirteen is lucky — associated with lunar cycles, prosperity and abundance. Fare tredici means to hit the jackpot. This is your number.
CROCE
The Cross. La Croce symbolises faith, hope and love. Worn to bring peace of heart and protection from evil. A quiet, enduring power.
VAFFANCULO
Need we say more. Carry your Vaffanculo and let the world know you are here and you are powerful. Irreverence as armour. Distinctly Italian.
SERPENTE ARGENTO
The Silver Serpent. All the wisdom and renewal of the Serpente — in silver. For those who move differently.
One charm is included with every BVONA FORTVNA purchase. Additional charms are available separately.
