We’re about to find out how the West was won come Fashion Week when Americana and equestrian-style pieces grace the runways. Get ahead of the trend with this cute little Gucci! The look is modernized to city chic perfection, though I’m really tired of the bamboo details and wish they’d left them out. Appearances aside, the best part of the bag is its interior organization. When you open the flap, there’s a slide pocket for your phone that is just right, plus two more pockets for your wallet, keys, etc.
While I love cobalt blue, a suede bag like this is tricky. The material will wear down every time you carry it, so go with the hearty, pebbly black leather. Just steer clear of the fringe version ($1,950)! Tassels are one thing, but a waterfall of fringe? Overwhelming. Not to mention annoying! The ridiculously long strands would be such nuisances that not even the most boho-loving Snob would be able to stand them. Pre-order the Gucci Nouveau in small/black leather ($1,650) or medium/blue suede ($1,980) at Bergdorf Goodman.
