Gucci to launch limited-edition tattooed handbag

Gucci is launching a faux-leather tattooed handbag collection with Italian artist Gabriele Pellerone, best known for his cutting-edge paintings.

The fashion house will take orders for 100 handbags from next January.

Customers will be able to choose from a set of designs developed by the Gucci design team with Pellerone and displayed on Gucci’s website.

Prices have not yet been disclosed.

There will be a demonstration of the tattooed handbags at the “Autumn Equinox: Collective Visions in Abstraction and Figuration” exhibition on September 21 at the Agora Gallery in New York City.
