For the Spring, Dolce & Gabbana have released a limited edition animalier bicycle for the stylish cyclists around the world.
The bike is made of steel and is varnished using a particular technique called sublimation, which requires each piece to be hand finished.
The mechanics of the bike, as well as the style, are taken from the traditional artisan process: there are no gears, the wheel has 18 radii and the rear and head lights are pedal activated.
The handlebars are in a classic shape with the break mechanics hidden inside the body of the bike for a clean aesthetic.
The bike is highly finished, with 24k gold gilding, protected by a all weather varnish, leather seat and black bell with Dolce&Gabbana logo plaque and a handy plastic coated aluminium basket on the front.
The ladies bike will be available from this month for €1700.- at select Dolce & Gabbana boutiques worldwide.
