The Gucci Dionysus bag was sold for roughly 4.115 US dollars on the Roblox gaming platform. Buyers used Roblox virtual money, which does not count as a cryptocurrency and can only be used inside the application.

What is Roblox?

It is a gaming platform which also allows developers to create video games from imaginary virtual universes. Taking advantage of the boom in sales of virtual objects, they recently launched the Gucci Garden Experience, where creators could buy brand items to dress their characters.
