To all those who can’t resist a new designer handbag it seems the market is about to get some steep competition in the form of nothing less than a Gucci. Daughter of the late Maurizio Gucci, Alessandra Gucci has paved her own way under the name AG and is launching her first limited edition, designer handbag collection. AG’s inspiration for her new design came from her interest in Botany and each of her bags have been influenced by the way floral imagery is depicted.

The most interesting decision of AG’s however, is her choice of leather.  American Alligator. AG felt that she needed something strong yet delicate and there is no denying that with the extreme detail she uses each of the bags she manages to succeed this. With each bag the spotlight is on the leather itself and AG’s extraordinary ability to twist and shape it leaves you with almost a work of art instead of just a handbag. Every bag comes in a unique colour and the dyeing process is emphasised even more because of the material making this design a classic with a kick.

Alessandra Gucci logo of two black unicorns is a nod to the “fantasy luxury” market at which she is aiming her collection. The black unicorns symbolise mystery and a good omen.

With only 99 pieces for the whole world these hand-crafted alligator bags are sure to be snapped up.  So, why don’t you take a look for yourself on www.aglimitededitions.com
