GUCCI Fall/Winter 2004 Gucci by Tom Ford dragon shoulder bag featuring one of the house’s most iconic and collectible accessories from Tom Ford’s final collection for Gucci. Crafted from rich purple velvet with an opulent metallic gold baroque motif, accented by exotic crocodile trim and finished with a sculptural dual dragon-head clasp in purple enamel. The dragons are embellished with crystals, ruby-red eyes and pearl-like details, creating one of the most recognizable motifs of the era. Completed with Gucci’s signature gold-tone bamboo-link chain shoulder strap and a spacious flap silhouette. The Dragon bag debuted as part of the legendary Fall/Winter 2004 collection—Tom Ford’s farewell collection for Gucci—which celebrated the glamorous, decadent aesthetic that defined his tenure at the house. The dragon motif became one of the season’s signature accessories and appeared in multiple luxurious variations, including crocodile, python, velvet and leather, with several versions featured on the runway and in the Mario Testino advertising campaign. Today, the Dragon bags are regarded as some of the most sought-after and collectible Gucci accessories from the Tom Ford era. CONDITION: Good vintage condition, see pictures. Light overall signs of wear consistent with age and use. Some rhinestones on the dragon clasp are missing, along with minor signs of wear throughout the velvet, leather and hardware. Overall, the bag presents beautifully and remains in very good wearable and collectible condition.
