This bag is by far my favorite handbag in my collection. This is part of Gucci's Limited Edition Dragon collection that showcased in the fall/winter collection of '06.
I purchased this beauty in Italy on my honeymoon from the outlets just outside of Florence...Ladies, if you ever get over to Italy GO TO THE OUTLETS! This incredible masterpiece barely set me back at only $500, but originally retailed for $2500. It's construction uses only the highest quality materials that include; burnout silk velvet, gold coated handles, Swarovski crystals, alligator and the interior is lined in silk.
I only pull this baby out to use on very special occasions and I treat it like a museum piece. I always get a multitude of compliments from women and men when I use this purse.
Note: I haven't figured out how to compress photos yet, so I wasn't able to download the pics of mine to this post, the image shown is from the internet. The only difference between mine and this one is on mine the main body color and alligator are a rich burgandy. When I figure out how to compress photos, I'll repost this entry with the pics of mine.
