A Must-have for Gucci Collector, Gucci Crocodile and Ostrich Patchwork Bag

a-must-have-for-gucci-collector-gucci-crocodile-and-ostrich-patchwork-bagI am not a very Gucci fan, but the limited edition Gucci Crocodile and Ostrich Patchwork Bag catches my eyes when I passed by Bal Harbour Shops. It was showcased in its own window on the side of the store all by itself and was just glaring at us with handcrafted details and superb materials. The friendly salesman (whose name I can't recall, I'll dig up his biz card later) brought it out for us to inspect - in my opinion the best $22,700 spent *if* you have them to spend on a bag. The blonde crocodile and ostrich patchwork, along with the bamboo detail and the gold hardware on the strap make the bag's bite match the bark. Fantastic! Talking about exclusivity, there are only 10 of these made worldwide, and we got to appreciate it in its gorgeous entirety. The picture I pulled off the Gucci page shows the right bag - however, the strap on the one that we saw was much longer than the one depited here. Personally, it was my first time getting touchy and feely with a $20k+ bag, but I do realize where the price tag comes from. The stitching was handcrafted with out-of-this-world perfection and the materials just felt so right. If you are a collector or someone who enjoys highly exclusive shoulder bags, you may want to give this creation a try.
