The 2010 Jean Paul Gaultier couture handbag collection was inspired by Mexico and the tropics. The reference was pretty direct when looking at the accessories as the purses, mostly made of green leather, were made to resemble more durable yet still delicate palm leaves and other rain forest foliage.
The woven and tropical-inspired pieces are very beautiful and are sure to be coveted if and when the 2010 JPG couture handbag collection goes into production.
