After releasing a number of streetwear-inspired garments, the popular Italian luxury house Gucci made a unique Gucci hoodie available to consumers.
On the front of the black cotton pullover, the brand's tiger motif is included. Surrounding it up top are thin white spikes, which give it a retro and powerful look. Beneath the tiger is a half circle of red flowers. The sleeves feature red and white ribbon-like designs on the forearms and the hood itself has flowers embroidered on it as well.
Influencers and celebrities like Jerry Lorenzo and Jared Leto have been captured in the Gucci hoodie by paparazzi so far, which helps to increase its value amongst consumers who have an appreciation for their styles. Currently, the cotton pullover can be purchased through the luxury brand's web store, for a hefty price tag of $3,300 USD.
