Eastern culture is a consistent influence on Judith Leiber minaudieres. From China, to Japan, and to India, Judith Leiber takes us on a global adventure, bringing us small pieces of each place in opulent crystal minaudieres.
This bag is done in red, purple, green, yellow, and gold crystals, shaped into a curled Foo Dog, famous for their appearances on Chinese temples and ancient buildings. Usually depicted guarding the wealth of the Emperor, this Foo Dog has his own treasures to guard inside.
Intricately detailed with crystals and finished with a convertible tuck-in chain strap, the gold plated body is fully beaded with crystals.

This bag is a highly collectible Leiber rendition of the Foo Dog and much sought after for it's compact yet practical size and the dramatic silhouette when worn.
Collectors are drawn to Judith Leiber minaudières, particularly the novelty peices. The whimsy and cleverness that goes into creating a full size Foo Dog minaudière cannot be matched elsewhere.
