Leonardo da Vinci’s Handbag
Posted by: Mona
Designer Carla Braccialini from the Gherardini fashion house designed the ‘Pretiosa’, meaning ‘precious’, based on the drawings of a handbag that Leonardo da Vinci had sketched over 500 years ago in 1497. Gherardini has made only 99 of these Pretiosas though and they will be sold in their boutiques in March, that’s if there’s any left.
Now we know that Leonardo da Vinci was also a fashion designer.
Check out the video of a craftsman making the Pretiosa [Here].
