Recently, a set of vintage Gucci handcuffs were revealed by the Italian designer house, which are made from solid silver and have a keyless locking mechanism, so that they can be opened with the push of a button.
The cuffs were designed by Tom Ford in 1998, and are said to have been created "to send a message to Patrizia Gucci, who was convicted of ordering the murder of her ex-husband and the former head of the fashion house, Maurizio Gucci."
Due to the quality of their construction, the brand name that's associated with them, and the rich history that surrounds their creation, the Gucci handcuffs are available for $65,000 USD. In addition to the cuffs, buyers will receive the original dust bag they came in for storage.
