A deep red advertisement features a luxury handbag with a black crocodile texture centered on the page. On the front of the bag is a collage of a red-and-white target with a cigarette and a colorful pill capsule laid diagonally across it. Above the bag, the text reads “SUAREZ NEW YORK” with cut-out letters spelling “The perfect drug” pasted above the target image. At the bottom of the page, the address “450 Park Avenue” and contact numbers are listed, with small text below noting the use of exotic leathers in compliance with international treaties. The visual juxtaposition suggests commentary on consumerism, addiction, and luxury branding.
