The luxury handbag is the ultimate fashion statement, it is a major status symbol of today. It's a known fact that the average weight of a handbag in Britain is 3^1/2 lbs. Most women cram personal items into their bags in an effort to be prepared, 'just in case I need it'. But what makes this particular gold bag below so special, is that the Zagliani materials are treated with resin employed silicone injection techniques.

Zagliani make beautiful crocodile bags, which are as soft as silk. In this case Italian dermatologist Mauro Orietti-Carella has pioneered a technique to enable skins, such as python and crocodile, to be transformed into smooth shiny soft supple surfaces.

The crocodile skin in the handbag left has been silicone treated and once softened it is hand crafted into a four figure bag. The process is similar to the use of Botox injections to keep human skin plumped.

This Zagliani handbag right costs £1,280 at Harvey Nichols. Zagliani bags are available in the UK from Harvey Nichols and also from Matches.
