Says creative director of the company and designer of the clutch Frank Zambrelli, "When we began, I looked at nearly 700 images of Ganesh. The research of art depicting him was a study unto itself. The great variation of poses, what Ganesh carries or doesn't carry, depended heavily on the period in history, or the artistic interpretation. What varied less, however, were the rich colours, the ornate depictions of the noose, the elephant goad and the rat or mouse. For me it was important to have this piece be a true representation of the deity, while still allowing for a more Leiber style expression of color and gradation. It's really a new level of work for us. In fact, Ganesh has more colour variation than any other Leiber minaudiere ever created, and takes more time to complete than any piece we currently craft."
