Yesterday’s Glorious Dream, Today’s Glamorous Reality
During the mid 19th century, the Principality of Monaco was one of Europe’s
poorest nations.
In 1861 the ruling prince, His Serene Highness Prince Charles III, created an
ambitious plan to revive his country’s fortunes.
Within just a few years, under his meticulous guidance and blessed by his
passion for success, Monaco was remarkably transformed into the jewel of
prosperity for which it is internationally admired today.
The visionary Prince pursued a magnificent dream, establishing an exclusive
resort overlooking the warm Mediterranean Sea. With a splendid casino as its
centrepiece, this area of Monaco was soon adorned with such lavish institutions
as the Hotel de Paris and Hermitage, complemented by opulent residences and
fashionable boutiques.
Celebrity, nobility and royalty soon began to visit, and the tiny Principality
became an enduring symbol of privilege and success.
On its completion in 1866, one name considered for this prestigious district was
Mont Charles, after the achievements of the visionary Prince Charles III. But,
largely influenced by the arrival of stylish and refined visitors from Italy, it was
the Italian translation of Mont Charles - Monte Carlo – which was given to this
most exclusive area of Monaco.
Since then, Monte Carlo has remained a global icon of style and sophistication,
epitomised by the enchanting era of Princess Grace.
Today, almost a century and a half after the dream was realised, the timeless
elegance of the Principality is evoked through the exquisite collections of Mont
Charles de Monaco.

Inspired by Monaco’s exquisite Bal de la
Rose, the limited edition Lady Rose has
been created as an endearing homage
to HSH Princess Grace.
Handcrafted by artisans, the ornamental
detail of Lady Rose, a succession of
delicate roses, symbolise the renewing
power of the sun. A yellow petal on
every rose leads to its opening, evoking
the sunrise of each new day. It is an
enduring icon of life and rebirth, and of
the timeless splendour of Monaco.
Lovingly crafted in jade and pearls, the
delicate handle is a meticulous "Opera
del Arte". The pearls themselves are
emblematic of Monaco - glorious objects
which have stood the test of time, and
which are passionately protected. Each
pearl is surrounded, and held in place,
by graceful roses, representing the
serene glamour of the Principality.
Created in delicate satin, Lady Rose
exudes beauty, romance and the
ultimate in femininity.

Inspired by Monaco’s most dynamic, modern-day emblem, Lady Victory has been designed to reflect the
contemporary face of the Principality and its celebrated Grand Prix.
The body of Lady Victory has been formed by a daring use of steel, painstakingly spun from thin wires of the
metal. Striking yet seamless, the Mont Charles de Monaco logo is created from nickel, complimented by small
crystals which convey the human thrill of speed.
Lady Victory’s striking handle expresses every facet of Monaco’s fervour for the Grand Prix lifestyle. The
base of each side has been boldly crafted from tire rubber, each linked by a solitary black pearl, an enduring
symbol of Monaco itself. The handle culminates in a flawless fusion of enamel and steel to produce the
distinctive red and white pattern, evocative of the exhilarating chicanes of the Grand Prix circuit as well as
the historic colours of Monaco itself.
Lady Victory exudes the excitement and irrationality of pure, untamed speed. This collision of temperament
mirrors the fast and furious lifestyle of today’s ultra glamorous femme fatale.

Lady Bo-Mo derives from the original expression Bo-Bo, a reference to the Parisian “Bohemian
Bourgeois” trend, an urban chic where casual is a luxury. Bo-Mo “Bohemian Monegasque” refers to
the truly enlightened and exclusive people of Monaco, understated in their style but expressive in their
spirit. Lady Bo-Mo is created to be worn in an informal manner, either carried, or worn with its long
handle across the shoulder and body. Lady Bo-Mo represents casual sophistication.
The production of the Mont Charles de Monaco Lady Bo-Mo handbag is limited to 20pieces per colour
and material for the year 2009.
