Luxury Accessories
A masterwork of craftsmanship and exquisite artisanry, the Hermès 25cm Matte White Himalaya Niloticus Crocodile Kelly is one of the rarest handbags ever created. The legendary bag is fashioned from the hide of the Niloticus crocodile, whose scales are large and symmetrical, ensuring meticulous uniformity. The hide is hand-dyed and painstakingly bleached to create an ombre of smoky gray, which fades into a luminous white, evoking the snowcapped Himalayas for which the bag is named.

Animation Art
In October 2010, the elusive British street artist Banksy made a striking and controversial contribution to The Simpsons by creating a special version of the show's opening sequence. The episode, titled "MoneyBART," immediately captured attention for its dark, satirical tone. What began as a familiar couch gag became a provocative critique of the machinery behind global entertainment. This original signed Banksy drawing commemorating his contribution to the show was given as a gift to Simpsons producer Bonita Pietila.

Modern Design
Claude Lalanne and her husband, François-Xavier Lalanne, became famous in the mid-20th century for their whimsical, surrealistic, and functional sculptures. Working in bronze, Claude Lalanne's style is characterized by its detailed and imaginative naturalistic forms. Her works often blur the line between fine and decorative arts, with many of her pieces functioning as jewelry, furniture, or other forms of usable art. This gilt bronze necklace fashioned in the form of a bramble is one such creation.
