About this work
Known for their erotically charged designs that draw upon their Italian heritage, Dolce & Gabbana frequently inject a sense of playful opulence into their accessory lines. Inlaid with diamantés, pearls, flowers and a floating cherub, this handbag has a resoundingly Baroque sensibility that is underscored by a background of changing coloured lights that operate at the touch of a button.
