Leonardo's Bag

aleonardoshandbag.jpg

As a tribute to the city of Florence, a city that has long been famous for its exquisite leather work, fashion house Gherardini has brought Leonardo's handbag to life. Designer Carla Braccialini designed the "Pretiosa" (meaning "precious" and yes, I am saying it like Gollum) bag based on Leonardo's drawing, and artisans made it by hand using luxury materials like embroidered calf leather and an embossed brass handle. -- Leonardo da Vinci, handbag designer

Exactly so. I'd like to be cranking them out and setting up a stand in front of the Metropolitan museum.
