Rajah meaning

The bag is named after Rajah , which means prince or king in Sanskrit , which echoes the elegant and kingly image of the tiger. The meaning of the king of the jungle injects vitality into the bag.

In Greek mythology, the god of wine Dionysus once transformed into a tiger and carried his beloved woman across the Tigris River. The love legend has endowed the tiger with a little-known romantic impression, adding storytelling to the bag.

· Tiger head buckle·

The elegant and majestic roaring tiger head buckle is the most eye-catching decoration on this handbag, which adds the finishing touch. It is inspired by the tiger head brooch design of 20th century jewelry designer Hattie Carnegie.

The golden tiger head is made of brass, with blue and gold enamel inlaid to create the tiger's stripes and mane, red crystals as eyes, and white diamonds dotted in the details.

The interlocking GG horsebit buckle above the tiger head draws inspiration from the brand's historical archives, combining the Horsebit buckle created in 1953 with the interlocking GG print launched in 1961 .

The combination of gold and silver metals adds a unique detail to the already very delicate structure. The buckle of the bag adopts a hidden snap buckle design. The buckle can be popped out by lightly pressing the bottom snap buckle. It is easy to operate and safer and more durable than ordinary magnetic buckles.

The exterior of the bag is made of smooth cowhide , and the deep blue color is low-key and steady, suitable for both casual and more formal occasions. The padded edging process makes the slightly rigid bag more three-dimensional and crisp.

The handbag uses a metal sliding chain shoulder strap , and the thick gold chain and the buckle decoration complement each other, making the tiger head more majestic. The envelope-style flap brings a classic academic temperament to the bag, and the chain strap adds a clever detail.

The sliding chain shoulder strap is 56 cm high and can be worn cross-body or on one shoulder. It is 30 cm high after folding into a double chain , which is the most fashionable underarm bag style. The bag cover and the chain strap are connected by perforations, and the metal ring is shiny and smooth, allowing you to switch styles freely.

What can this bag hold?

The bag is lined with a fabric material that is wear-resistant and reduces weight. There is a zippered inner pocket on the back, and a paper-plastic coated label with an embossed GUCCI logo and an interlocking GG pattern.

The side has an inner pleated structure , which makes the bag look more layered. Although the interior is a single-layer large compartment design, the pleated structure makes it seem like it has invisible compartments. We put a passport holder, a thin notebook, an iPhone X, a pair of Airpods, a coin purse, a box of powder, a small bottle of perfume and a lip gloss in the bag.
