Gucci 1973 Tote Bag
Courtesy of Gucci When I first wrote about Gucci’s gorgeous 1973 suede tote back in August–the moniker named after the Florentine house’s archival logo–I knew it would be a hit. Now that the bag has hit stores and consumers have snatched it up, I was right: Jennifer Lopez, Pénelope Cruz, Heidi Klum and Eva Mendes … Continue reading “Gucci 1973 Tote Bag”
Gucci Madison Ostrich Medium Tote
Gucci does exotic right. I am not a Gucci fan but when it comes to skins they know well enough to leave off the dingle dangles and keep things simple.

The profile the sandals created on the runway made for a lasting impression. I was also loving the velvet … Continue reading “Gucci Shoes Spring 2011”
Gucci Spring 2011 Bags
While its clothing designs may have been rich in Moroccan excess, Frida Giannini’s accessories only hinted at Marrakech. Tooled leather purses with braided straps were a mainstay of the collection, which focused heavily on clutches and “evening bags” (and not of the Judith Leiber kind)–at least for the runway. On occasion there would be a … Continue reading “Gucci Spring 2011 Bags”
