I honestly can’t remember when was the last time I featured a Gucci bag. It has been years I think! So let’s talk Gucci. When Tom Ford went on board this brand, I do recall that Gucci shopping frenzy– suddenly everyone wanted a Gucci bag. Mostly in black, and also a lot in the monogrammed Gs. Popular styles included the Jackie O bag and the Monroe. And then a decade later, many of them wanted to sell those very bags they once “fought” other people to buy. Oh yes, I remember those days all too clearly 🙂 There was somewhat of a lull in the brand post- Ford, but now that Giannini’s at the helm, it’s doing rather well!

Gucci’s a brand that will always have a special place in my heart *and wallet, literally*. Because the very first designer wallet that I found extremely functional, was by Gucci!
And now the 1973 collection from the brand is really very appealing to me. I’m liking the top handle flap bags a lot (oooh especially this one in python!)

especially since this style has made a comeback and is so on- trend and of-the-moment.
This is another bag that I find interesting– it’s also from the 1973 collection and is actually featured on the front page of Gucci’s website.

Remember the Be & D Satchel I featured not too long ago which had the elements of the Bag Snob x DKNY Treasure + Celine Trapeze? This bag seems quite similar to that as well. This bag however, does not have that problem of the flap enclosure, as this seems more decorative than functional. It must be said though that this flap does have use– it’s made to enclose the front pocket! The bag is zippered so you dont need to worry about your soul things spilling out should you drop the bag. 😉
How about you? Have you bought yourself a Gucci bag lately?
