This room narrates the evolution of jewel-accessories: precious objects that complement and often replace traditional jewellery. From early medieval purses (originally a male accessory later adopted by women and even sketched by Leonardo da Vinci), to 19th-century fabric pouches and elegant metal mesh evening bags, the journey continues into the 20th century, when accessories become true masterpieces.

Purses decorated with enamel and exotic motifs inspired by Egyptomania, refined rigid trousse cases equipped with mirrors and compartments crafted by masters such as Buccellati, and iconic 1960s pochettes with soft lines, gleaming gold, and inserts of fine materials like tortoiseshell and coral, all trace the history of style in miniature form.

A narrative showing how fashion, goldsmithing, and design intertwine in small yet extraordinarily expressive objects, created to accompany women on their most elegant occasions.
