APHRODITE 168
PURE 3 Legacy 24K Gold
P.O.A.
Item #1
Named after the Greek goddess Aphrodite, a symbol of love, beauty, pleasure, and prosperity. The Aphrodite 168 is made using the finest French Maia calfskin with interior lining in goat skin. There are two internal slit pockets. Both the flap and the gusset are in one piece of leather. The proprietary mechanisms allow for its Legacy Gem to be interchanged as well as for the handle to be changed to a long shoulder strap and other accessories.
Item #2
PURE 3 Legacy juxtaposes two types of gold leaf in a pattern beautifully reminiscent of winter’s first frost, often found on lusty leaves at the crack of dawn. The base is covered in 24K gold leaf, hand-burnished assiduously to create a mirror effect. Thin, intricate veins of white gold leaf is then meticulously layered on top, evoking the fractal patterns of frost. Just as frost forms in nature, the ornamentation of each Gem is unique, manifesting organically under the hands of its craftsman.
Item #3
