Italy is considered one of the world's fashion capitals—and with good reason. The little boot-shaped country has produced some of the most coveted items from some of the chicest high-end lables: think ladylike flats from Salvatore Ferragamo, graphic dresses from Emilio Pucci, beautiful bags from Bottega Veneta, and luxurious watches from Bvlgari. There's no doubt about it: Italy and its cities are at the pulse of the fashion scene.

Rustan's, which has brought some of the biggest names in the Italian fashion industry to the Philippines, celebrated all things Italian with its "Bella Patria! Beautiful Motherland!" Festival throughout the month of June. This month marks the country's 150th anniversary of its unification, so what better way to commemorate the momentous event than through chic accessories that every woman would want in her closet?

Browse through the gallery for 15 accessories from Bvlgari, Coccinelle, Diesel, Emilio Pucci, Furla, Marlboro, Salvatore Ferragamo, and Tod's.

Looking to buy? Head on over to Rustan's before July 3: before then every purchase of P5,000 or more from any participating brands will come with a chance to win a Royal Caribbean cruise for two, among other prizes.
