Chris from NFT Calendar: The Handbags of the Gods – there is a lot to unpack here, it is definitely one of the most interesting projects out there. First, I have to ask, what inspired the dragon storyline?
History? Fantasy? Or Game of Thrones?
Handbag Of The God's team: The idea for the collection of handbags came because when we researched around the world, you can find these ancient stones in all cultures all over the world & they are depictions of higher beans as you can see in the above examples. Some have wings, some have fish scales or an eagles head. But even thou all this entities are similar they have a striking similarity. They all carry The Handbag. Also dragons have a unique history of been depicted in every culture of the world for thousands of years. The Dragon name comes from the Greek word “drakon”, meaning 'penetrating gaze.' These creatures have fascinated humans since the beginning of time but you don’t find any in our times. Taking this in consideration, it will give birth to the world’s first ever 3D NFT handbag collection made out of dragon skin for the metaverse.
Chris from NFT Calendar: The project does not only have a great storyline; it goes deeper to include financial
services and access. Sounds like a serious team is behind it, can you tell us more about the people that are responsible for Handbags of the Gods?

Horacio has been developing this project for the past 5 months to get the art as specific and elegant as he enters with us to the metaverse.
Chris from NFT Calendar: Obviously there are big goals and prospects for this project. Since there are various
levels of rarity and traits, will these affect decision making authority? Or is the vote equal among all members?
Handbag Of The God's team: To have complete community driven participation from the users on the platform, votes will be regarded as equal for all members within the community.
Chris from NFT Calendar: Ok, you promised users a lot of surprises with the community fund. Can you shed a
little more light on what should be expected? Because my Imagination is running wild right now.
Handbag Of The God's team: Our community fund will be used significantly to establish rare partnerships needed that provide our members with a great deal of exclusive access to luxury services & products across different geographies, markets, brands and industries. Once we sold out the collection we have arrangements to make our collection the worlds first Black Card services collection without having the card just be holding our NFT collection.

Chris from NFT Calendar: The Dragon Card seems to be in your long term plans. What can you tell us about this
huge goal that is likely to disrupt the financial world?
Handbag Of The God's team: A world class Concierge Client Service is going to be developed with this card. The Dragon
Card provides support for payments & withdrawal across our various platforms which will include transactions inside the metaverse, online and real world.
We will provide wallet & exchange services so you can store you NFT/metaverse profits & use them thru your debit card. Some institutions see online purchases for more than $1,000 daily & activate panic fraud alerts or just block your card, by that loss of time the a collection can be sold out.
You want to purchase a NFT & you don’t know how to even start. Call our Concierge Specialist on the phone to help you do a transaction with a Card or Crypto, so you don’t miss a purchase just because it’s the first time you buy NFTs or land in the metaverse.

Chris from NFT Calendar: We know it is still a while from now, but we are curious if you have an idea on how the
benefits from revenue will be distributed among the first 9999 holders when you achieve your goals for the next 3 years?
