Gucci’s new groove: Icon Bit Bag

Could this be!?!? The Snobs post two glowing reviews of Gucci bags in one week!?!? Gucci has been catching our eye lately in a good way (and not the omg I’m ashamed I ever carried/wore anything with GG on it way).  First the large Lucy clutch and now the Iconic bag with horsebit hardware.  Very impressed with the use of the brand’s iconic horsebit as the zipper pull, it makes a strong “I am Gucci” statement without compromising on design or resorting to the overkill of logos.  The pleated detail softens the hobo and lends a fresh young vibe to the aging brand.  I am all about the RTW this season from Gucci, too.  Frida Giannini’s latest efforts will soon have people saying, Tom who?   Gucci Iconic Bag (15.7″w) at Saks for $1,950 (if they can drop the prices a wee bit they’d have a major hit here!)

  1. I like this one but the only thing that spoils it for me is the zipper. It looks plastic from here and if it is, then it’ll look a bit cheap. Otherwise I love Gucci leather.

  2. Tom Who? Let’s not get carried away Tina. But I do agree with you. This collection is a huge step in the right direction. Have you seen the galaxy and the icon bit on bergdorf’s website? They’re so you!

  3. Tom who? Let’s not get carried away Tina. But I do love this bag! And the fall collection is definitely a huge step in the right direction for Gucci. Have you seen the Icon Bit and the Galaxy on Berdorf’s website? They’re so you!

  5. That’s exactly what I was thinking. There is nothing original about this bag. I also agree with Bag Envy about Tom Ford nothing original original from that man.

  6. I have to agree about Tom Ford, even though I thought he was finer than wine. Design-wise, he’s no great thing.

  7. I’m truly impressed! I’ve been scoffing at Gucci bags for quite some time because I’ve seen plenty of fug and this is really nice! I’d love it in Camel or White…
