Mille Fiori handbags were produced in the 80s in a small studio in NYC and were mainly sold in galleries or custom made for clients. They are known for using "Mille Fiori" style glass beads but this bag is quite unique with its meticulous leatherwork and easy to wear style. The bags are no longer made, and can be quite collectible.
