  New purse made from 500-yr-old Da Vinci drawing...

 A sketch of a bag found amongst Da Vinci's papers is now a real item. I'm not sure if it's really cool or a sign that pop culture has now truly swallowed everything...
At least the bag is still completely handcrafted, I suppose that's something (other than an advertising buzzword, lol).

... they turned a Da Vinci doodle into reality?

I can't decide whether to be amused or dismayed.

 I hear that - and which Da Vinci drawing it was is the scary part... They couldn't give away working ornithopters to kids, but they can sell this purse for piles of money. Oy.

Not too shaby, but I prefer my fashionable-art pieces to require the enslavement of millions of Moracans.
