Ever wonder what kind of construction and craftsmanship goes into the creation of your favorite It-bag? Gucci launched its Artisan Corner tour Stateside this week, a traveling series of workshops that demonstrates, live, the process of building two of the company's most iconic spring handbags: the New Bamboo and the new Pelham. The workshops will take place in San Francisco, Beverly Hills, Chicago, and New York's Gucci boutiques. [WWD]
