Longchamp Zip Bag Designed by Architect Thomas Heatherwick %20

*Price is Firm and Shipping is Free* This extremely rare bag by Longchamp was designed by Thomas Heatherwick and has been featured in numerous architectural and fashion design articles and exhibits around the world. It is truly a unique work of art and in perfect condition. Please see photos above and description below for details about this amazing bag! Trained at the Royal College of Art, Heatherwick runs a 38- person studio that designs everything from sculpture, such as Sitooterie ll, in Essex, England, to the Rolling Bridge, in London. In 2004, Longchamp debuted a handbag designed by Heatherwick featuring a zipper that snakes up and around the outside. When unzipped, it reveals a satiny fabric layer inside and nearly doubles the bag's volume. Instead of a clasp at the top, hidden magnets close the bag. Retail price for this bag was $1,200 at its limited release in 2004.
