Judith Leiber Heart & Snake Miniaudiere

Megs · Sep 24th, 2007, 11:49 AM

Symbolizing temptation and eroticism, the snake has been a creature of great mystery. Judith Leiber touches on the temptation of the snake, as it was used to tempt Eve and take over her heart. To an outsider, the Judith Leiber Heart & Snake Miniaudiere is simple, but the symbolism runs deep, alluding to sin and evil along with lust and eroticism. The Austrian black crystal embellishments take over the heart, showing it is dark and tainted, with the silver-tone snake overture and hardware. Beyond symbolism, this miniaudiere features and optional chain strap, double-sided mirror, and matching coin purse. This piece is a conversation piece, used to get people thinking. Some may be offended, some may take it lightly, but either way this piece has symbolism that runs much deeper than merely an evening bag. Pre-order via Neiman Marcus for $1995.

More of a piece of art. I would display in my home rather than actually use it.

I wish I had the $$ to just display it

because I really have no use for it, other than to gaze at it.
I started off with a costume jewelry snake bracelet of my mother's, which I still love. Then moved on to art deco and whiting & davis. But this is just stunning.

GORGEOUS... I'd love to have a glass cabinet full of these purses.

Totally art, not functional. I usually love her stuff but this one is a bit macabre for me.

I'm usually not much of a Leiber fan, but this I LOVE!

i like this and usually i think most leiber bags are gaudy or even tacky. i don't like it enough to pay that much for it though.
