Here! Have fun creating your own unique Sicily Bag designs!  

It’s been an extraordinarily hot summer across Europe and we’ve been so excited to see Sicily Bags popping up all over the Mediterrenean beaches and towns! Whether you’re in a pinafore dress walking around cobbled streets in Santorini or lapping up the rays in Ibiza, a “Sicily Bag” beach basket is the perfect accessory for […]

Am I #dgenough? Thats the cheeky new phrase on Dolce & Gabbana’s new Instagram campaign. We’re so happy and proud to see one of our ambassadors, gorgeous Marta Lozano rocking our piccolo straw coffa bag. Marta looks like a Sicilian princess in the clip and we certainly agree that she’s more than #dgenough!

We’re sooooo proud to be featured in the May/June 2016 issue of Condé Nast’s “Brides” magazine. Click here to see a high resolution version of the magazine page.  

Most people associate straw and wicker with summer. But who needs rigid rules these days? So many looks have transcended their former boundaries – e.g. sequins are now part of regular office attire.

Just like last summer,  Sicily impressed us in all it’s decadent opulence, mouth watering but rather heavy cuisine and it’s blend […]

This year’s September London Fashion week coincided with the launch of sicilybag.com. The perfect opportunity to show off the unique Sicilian creations to the London Fashion crowd. This year, LFW organisers shook things up by moving the event to a hip & trendy new venue. A parking lot in Soho’s Brewer Street is one of […]

1. Food There are two Italian sayings relating to Sicilian food: “You haven’t eaten lemons until you’ve eaten them in Sicily” and “You haven’t tasted Cannoli until you’ve had one in Palermo.” Sicilian food is richer and even tastier than in the rest of Italy. And Palermo is the capital of Sicilian food. I loved […]

Sicily’s best kept secret? The Egadi (Aegadian) Islands to the west of Sicily are a favourite of the impossibly bronzed Italian tourists. While most foreign travellers flock to the more well-known, chic volcanic Aeolian islands (Stromboli, Lipari et al), the lesser known Isole Egadi are still as unaffected by mass tourism as ever and maintain […]
