Gucci Launches $43,000 Teddy Bear Bags Decked Out Head-To-Toe In Crystals

Following the double-sided cap Gucci launched in collaboration with Adidas last year, the luxury label is back with another statement piece, this time in the shape of crystal-studded teddy bear bags.

Admittedly, the minaudière, which is retailing for a hefty £35,130 (US$43,000), may not be the cutest plush ever, but it does boast an array of multicolored crystals, with those adorning the bear’s stomach outfitted in the brand’s double-G monogram.

As Highsnobiety pointed out, one of the most unsettling features of the bear-shaped bag is the animal’s eyes. Instead of going for a cutesy look, the purse sports enamel ornaments that are realistic yet robot-like.

Those looking to shell out for one of Alessandro Michele’s final pieces can choose from two styles—either the signature ‘GG’ motif or a rainbow chevron. The former features silver-toned and black brass, while the latter is multicolored.

As with most high-fashion creations, each of the crystals has been painstakingly applied by hand. The purse comes with an off-white interior, complete with “interlocking G” gold-toned chain straps to top off the look.
