Leonardo da Vinci, the man who gave us the Mona Lisa, can also be credited with another creation – the designer handbag.
It is believed he drew his sketch of an ornate leather accessory in 1497 while he was painting The Last Supper.
Now a luxury Italian brand has decided to manufacture a bag based on Leonardo's design – more than five centuries after his death.
Scholars reconstructed fragmented drawings of the bag. Their work was then seized upon by Florence fashion house Gherardini, which made a prototype of
the bag.
