Worrying about misplacing and/or damaging your luggage when airtraveling (and not only) is the main concern when using Bottega Veneta’s alligator skin luggage set!

Recession, what? Hermès challenges the young designers for $4,000-worth first prize while they’ve initiated a breeding crocodiles campaign in Australian farms. Because it’s really hard to make 3,000 crocodile bags/year (it takes 4 crocodiles per handbag), bags that end up costing around $48,000/piece!
