My sister Darah is in the know with all things shopping. Gucci launched a tour in March called Artisan Corner. These artisans are from Florence, Italy and they were in the Beverly Hills location, assembling and crafting Gucci leather bags in front of our eyes. There was also a video from the factory of Gucci, displaying the craftmenship of bag making. The bag I purchased was actually made at the time, location and with an actual artisan from Italy. It was a nice experience to see how much precision and attention to detail the artisans possessed and to deliver a perfectly hand crafted bag in such a short amount of time. It truly was a unique experience since the tour will only be making a few stops in North America. After Los Angeles, the Artisan Corner will be heading to Chicago and their last stop will be New York. It made our shopping day special since the bag I purchased had my initials branded inside and my sister's wallet was branded with her name as well. I am such a materialist.
