Remember the dark blue purse we spotted on Bar Refaeli last week?
I did some research and discovered it’s from Fontana Milano 1915 – a still relatively unknown Italian leather goods brand based in Milan.

Bar’s bag is called the “AFEF,” reportedly named after actress Afef Jnifen, a Tunisian Italian fashion model married to Marco Tronchetti Provera, Pirelli’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

The “AFEF” has also been spotted on the likes of Sofia Vergara and Cameron Diaz:

The easiest way to get your hands on the “Afef” is to head to Italy and visit a Fontana Milano 1915 store. The price for the bag starts at $1,700:
