Gucci Papillon Evening Bag

My eyes are not deceiving me. This is indeed the Gucci Papillon Evening Bag that has caught my attention. There are a few reasons that this is a great evening bag. First is the price; which is by no means super cheap, but in the world of handbag lovers $750 for a bag from a huge designer house and with exotics is relatively inexpensive. Second, the look of the bag is alluring. It mixes the bamboo detail to give it the tropical resort feel, but doing so in black keeps it classy for evening wear. The bags body is designed with black satin and the flap is designed with black ayers (snake skin). Dimensions are 9½”W X 4½”H X ½”D. This is a great evening bag for resort wear and especially great for the lucky ones that live in the tropics. Buy through Saks for $750.

Gucci 8-8-2008 Special Edition

For this year, Gucci announced a special limited 8-8-2008 collection of just 8 fashion accessories that will be available exclusively through Gucci Hong Kong and China stores. The special edition pays homage to competitive sports and is supposed to epitomize sporty luxury, according to Gucci creative director Frida Giannini. Cornerstone of the campaign is the new I-Gucci watch, which is unique to the 8-8-08 campaign in both coloring and sporty appearance. It also happens to be the first digital time piece Gucci has ever released – its digital face is capable of displaying both numerical and clock-hand formats. Other specs include a 44 millimeter steel frame casing, a red monochrome rubber strap (embossed with Gucci’s iconic GG pattern on its inside) and selection of multiple time zones.

The 8-8-2008 collection also features an unlikely accessory in form of a bicycle. The bike is built for leisure and sports bold red double GG leather details such as the seat and the handle bar grips. On a personal note: Being somewhat of a bike fetishist myself, I feel like the Holland-style bike defies the whole concept of the campaign. If the collection is conveying a sporty spirit, why not collaborate with a real competitive race bike maker such as Specialized and give Gucci lovers a real sport toy for their money’s worth? I suppose my perception of “sports” are quite a bit different than the creative department at Gucci envisions. Judging their frail Chinese campaign model, his stature and lack of sporty appearance, entirely justifies my criticism of the nature of the campaign. In my humble opinion, this collection’s ties to competitive sports should have been dropped for the sake of real athletes around the globe.

Gucci Crocodile Hysteria Bag

The craze over the Gucci USA Flagship opening was unprecedented. Many people wanted to see the store, but most wanted to grab one of the coveted Gucci Loves New York bags. This limited edition line of bags are completely sold out, but the excitement surrounding the store still exists. Today we wound down with a trip to Gucci, as it is about half a block away from our hotel. The store is HUGE. Floor one carried many bags, but floor two and three did not disappoint either. The thing is, lately I have not had much love for Gucci. The brand is one of the most recognized luxury houses in the world, and while their ready-to-wear has been amazing, the handbags have been lacking that special touch that I need. The Hysteria line brings a fresh touch to Gucci, giving it the extra nudge that it needed to get me back on board. The Gucci Hysteria line drops the expected Gucci GG logo and brings in the family crest. The emblem adds the perfect touch that is not expected but much appreciated. And with New York being the new US Gucci flagship, the handbag selection is to die for. I have never seen so many exotic Gucci handbags. Everywhere we turned there were ostrich bags, python jackets, and crocodile skins. My absolute favorite was the $300,000 Gucci Crocodile Trunk. The trunk is a taupe crocodile and a stunning collectors piece (not to mention it is the only one of its kind). Going along with the crocodile craze, Gucci took one of its best bags of the season and dressed it up in yellow crocodile, creating the Gucci Crocodile Hysteria Bag. This is unlike any other Gucci bag I have seen in the longest time. The crocodile is buttery soft as it is taken from the belly of the crocodile. The inside is lined with goatskin that is even more supple. In fact, if they could make me a big pillow out of this exact material that would be heaven. This bag had the perfect slouch, the perfect chic feel, and the color was stunning. Only problem (for me at least) is the $37,500 price tag. I love this bag, love it so very much, but the price tag is way out of my range. Instead I could settle with the goatskin version ($1950). Saks also offers a python version for $3990 and a patent version for $1790 via Saks.

Gucci Hysteria Bag

I fell head over heels in love with the ultimately expensive Gucci Crocodile Hysteria Bag. The price is not practical for me at all, but the color, the feel, the shape, was beautiful. I kept staring at it and studying it and I truly think the SA thought he made a huge sale that day. Unfortunately I was just an oogler, not a real buyer. And last week I went to Gucci Bal Harbor and fell in love again, but this time that bag is more affordable, relatively speaking. The Gucci Hysteria Bag is designed with yellow/white patchwork on the front of the bag with black leather on the back. The leather is ultimately sumptuous. I mean super soft, the kind that just melts as you touch it. I kept grabbing the bag thinking it was from Bottega Veneta, not Gucci. This bag has me back on Gucci’s side, in love with a bag that is absolutely fierce. The body is very slouchy, actually allowing the bag to fold over if you carry it with the messenger strap. The Hysteria bags feature Gucci Crest detail. There was still one more of these available at Gucci Bal Harbor but you can also find it online via Bergdorf Goodman for $3150 or plain patent via Saks for $1790.

Gucci Small Hysteria Bag

I was not feeling Gucci handbags for quite some time, then came the Gucci Hysteria Bag. The luscious leather is as sumptuous as anything I have felt, in fact so soft that I would give anything to turn it into a pillow (or even better a blanket). And while leather versions have my attention, my undivided attention was long ago lost to the Gucci Crocodile Hysteria Bag that Vlad and I saw in NYC. But since the $37,500 price tag is much more wisely saved going towards a down payment on a house, I am left loving the Gucci Small Hysteria Bag is sultry magenta. The leather is slightly gathered at the top but the overall shape is slouchy. The double handles feature the metal Gucci crest detailing, which does stand out but is alluring in its own right. There is a detachable shoulder strap, but when worn the top of the bag folds over and gives a more casual look. The inside features a zip, cell phone, and PDA pocket, all necessities for 2008. If the colorful option, which will be perfect for fall and winter, is not working for you, there is also black available. Buy through Saks for $1650.

Gucci Jockey Python Bag

What have you done Gucci? You have made me fall in love with you and your bags, a sort of unrequiting love. I am still absolutely enamored with the purple Hysteria Bag, with its supple leather and slouchy shape. But now there is a new Gucci handbag to obsess over, and that is just what I am doing, totally and absolutely obsessing. The Gucci Jockey Python Bag meets all of my handbag needs; exotic skin, easy-to-wear shape, casual style. It is as if the Gucci Gods know they are tempting me and have gone into my head, followed me through my dreams, and placed the perfect black bag in front of me. The single strap is non-adjustable, but it fits perfectly over your shoulder without riding up too high or snug. The horsebit detail, a house staple, is an aspect that I have adored from Gucci and love that it is incorporated for this handbag. On the inside there are zip and cell phone pockets and the dimensions are large, 18¼”W X 14½”H X 4½”D. Now what I really love is that I can see this being the black bag for so many of us. Working for day, transitioning to night, lasting for seasons. It has the exotic appeal, the chic style, and the no-hassle shape. Just lovely. Buy through Saks for $3,295.

Gucci Large Babouska Hobo

Fringe, fringe, fringe galore! I don’t usually have a problem with fringe, but I can’t decide if this bag has too much of it. Gucci is a brand I love. I have a pair of Gucci sunglasses I wear all the time and I am definitely on the hunt for a Gucci handbag I can tote around all the time as well. But, I don’t think this bag is it. The Gucci Large Babouska Hobo looks unique and perfect for the fall season. I think the stud accents and brass hardware compliment the fringe extremely well. In fact, as I sit here typing, the bag is starting to grow on me more and more. There is a double strap option (one detachable shoulder strap) which provides a nice option. If you’ve read any of my other posts, you know I am a self-proclaimed clutz. Nothing crazy, but I have been know to trip, drop my bag, and have the entire contents spilled out on the sidewalk. So, obviously, I love not only the snap and push-lcok closuer but also the inside zip and cell phone pocket. I am also drawn to how soft the leather looks. Who doesn’t love soft leather? But, I am still stuck on the fringe. What do you think – yay or nay? It can be bought through Saks for $2,495. (note: if you are interested in the bag pictured above, select the bag in “Mustard”)

Gucci Galaxy Python Hobo

Every cast uses exotics in a altered way. Nancy Gonzalez crocodile looks altered than Balenciaga crocodile. Chloe python looks altered than Carlos Falchi python. And Gucci python is my admired of all. Somehow, they administer to acquisition banknote that attending somehow fuller and added concrete than some of their peers, and it’s consistently bright that their accoutrements did absolutely appear from a active reptile. And I feel like it’s at atomic a bit added admiring to the beastly to accomplish a bag that absolutely highlights the accustomed adorableness of the banknote that are used.

And Gucci has maintained their history of admirable python accoutrements with the Gucci Galazy Python Hobo. Sometimes accustomed patterns can be hidden if they’re done in black, but the accomplishment actuality has a bit of a flash to it, so it reflects abundant ablaze that the calibration adverse is simple to see. Some brands amusement their accoutrements in such a way that the python scales lay altogether flat, which has acutely not been done here. I’m abiding that that array of analysis makes accoutrements for durable, but it aswell makes it feel beneath comfortable to me, so I’d rather that allotment was larboard out, even if it agency the bag won’t endure absolutely as long. I’d rather accept it be as admirable as accessible for as continued as that attending will authority up.

Fashion Week Spring 2010: Gucci

As a abject fan of the Tom Ford era at Gucci, I’ve got to say that Spring 2010 is calmly the best accumulating we’ve apparent from accepted artist Frida Giannini.

Instead of the girly, at times hippie-chic clothes that accept appear out of her administration at the aggregation so far, what we saw this division was modern, athletic, and a tad science fiction. Normally those would be words from which I would shy abroad as descriptors of admirable clothing, but the high-waist leggings, abundant jackets and body-conscious dresses accomplish sci fi chichi and aspirational – if alone Ra’mon from Project Runway had fabricated something like this on endure week’s episode, he ability not accept been auf’d.

But he didn’t, and Frida did, because there’s a acumen that she’s active by one of the better and a lot of apparent affluence brands in the world. She started, as has accurate accepted this season, with white (it would be a abounding nine looks afore addition blush appeared) and boring confused herself into ablaze greys afore traveling for bolder books in black, orange, and even a little bit of pink. Print was bound mostly to ikat actuality and there on acute about-face dresses, and the majority of looks were solid and neutral.

Fashion Week 2010: Gucci bags

I attending through a lot of appearance shows and assorted accessories presentations. It’s an anatomic hazard, decidedly at this time of year, and it can be a little hypnotizing afterwards a white. Click. Belted shift. Click. High-waisted trousers. Click. Oh, a circumscribed jacket. Click.

If the appearance isn’t wow-worthy, it can be simple to cast through bags-world.org after absolutely arresting what I’m searching at, abundant like I did with my textbooks in top academy (and, let’s face it, college). But I looked through Gucci Handbags Spring 2010 twice, with absent absorption – not alone is this Frida Giannini’s best accumulating of accouterment back her era at the cast began, but it’s aswell the arch calendar of accessories that I’ve apparent from the cast in years.

The collection’s clothes accept a way of getting basal and adorned simultaneously, and that’s the alone way to call the accoutrements as well. Even the lean, angular claws are ancient out of candy-colored crocodile derma that makes me wish to say “I’ll yield one in every color,” duke over my acclaim card, and not attending at the absolute on the receipt.

And that’s just the beginning. There’s arrangement abounding by way of exotics like crocodile and python and Gucci’s signature logo embossing, and a few of the company’s archetypal details, like bamboo handles and horse bit hardware. The accumulating was assorted and nuanced, absolute a little bit of something for everyone; it was conceivably the a lot of wearable, admirable bag accumulating I’ve apparent adroitness the aerodrome in several seasons.

Fashion Week Fall 2010: Gucci bags

Allow me to accomplish one of my claimed biases clear: I attending advanced to seeing the accoutrements on the Gucci aerodrome added than about any added bag-including appearance at appearance week. The brand’s belled faculty for avant-garde glamor and female generally comes through best in their aerodrome bags, and seeing them is about consistently a pleasure.

I wasn’t as aflame by this season’s offerings as I was for endure season’s technology-influenced collection, but they were still as comfortable and abundant as you could analytic ask. Much of the collection, which was abundant on ostrich, was aswell antic a hardly adapted chain G logo that I’ve never apparent afore – could it be a best revival, as is accepted with the brand, or something absolutely new? I’m not abiding which, but whatever it is, I anticipate its hardly curvier curve plan able-bodied for the administration that the cast is going.
