I remember back in 1980, my mother got a Misha bear, the mascot of the Moscow Olympics. Fast forward to this year's Olympics in Beijing and a new more expensive and more fabulous bear, the Gucci leather panda which sells for $1,050. The bear is part of the Gucci 8-8-2008 Limited Edition designed by Gucci creative director Frida Giannini. The collection of eight pieces, of course, includes the new $1,415 I-Gucci watch, the company's first digital watch, which is already on their website. Other special Gucci Limited Edition items include a $3,420 bicycle, a $3,150 Mahjong set covered in red La Pelle Guccissima leather, a pair of $660 men's and women's sports shoes, a $445 sterling silver and enamel necklace inspired by military tags, and two pieces of luggage in La Pelle Guccissima, a leather duffle for $2,795 and a $995 leather messenger bag.
