Ralph Lauren is the latest designer to show his love for the United Arab Emirates. The release of this limited edition Ricky bag comes hot on the heels of the launch of Gucci’s exclusive Marrakech purse.
The new Ricky bag is crafted from lavender purple crocodile skin and embellished with rose gold hardware. As the Ricky bears the name of Ralph Lauren’s beloved wife, it’s made to the highest standard. No less would do! Each piece is handmade and attached in Italy before being stamped with Ralph Lauren’s signature logo. Finally it’s fitted with a functioning lock, which is also attached by hand, and shipped with the key inside. I suppose anyone who can afford this limited edition purse probably has some precious cargo to cart around.
This limited edition purse is made to order at Ralph Lauren stores in the United Arab Emirates. That personalized service means the limited edition Ricky is much more expensive than Gucci’s offering, with prices starting at 88, 000 United Arab Emirates dirhams, or roughly $23, 965 US. To put that in perspective, Ralph Lauren’s last limited edition Ricky cost just $3750. Sure that was made of calfskin rather than crocodile, but the difference in cost is still substantial. Do you think this Ralph Lauren Ricky is worth its big bottom line?
