Gucci 1973 Small Shoulder Bag

Posted on by

The year 1973 might not have gone down Gucci’s history as an important year but Frida Giannini seems to have found bags from the house’s archive dated back to the year and decided to reissue them for Fall/Winter 2010. While I am a sucker for vintage anything and clearly these bags bear that apparent vintage look, I still think they need a little extra touch to make them look more suitable for the 21st century than the 70s.

The Gucci 1973 small shoulder bag is very simple, with only the GG logo gives it away as a Gucci bag. The one featured here is made of python, it is also available in suede. It looks like a perfect bag for clubbing to me. Price starts from USD680 for the suede version and up to USD990 for this python version.

As we have previously seen and predicted, the Gucci Fall/Winter 2010 handbag collection is going to be a lust-worthy one and it is! The collection is indeed taking reference directly from vintage Gucci and look at this beautiful python bag I could not take my mind off. At USD3,100 for such a big bag (17″ x 7″ x 13.4″) in full python, I think it is a steal!

Gucci Fall/Winter 2010

Posted on by

I can’t really recall when it started but Frida Gianini seems to have managed to fuse her signature look into Gucci without having to create a big statement like what Tom Ford once did. Gucci Fall/Winter 2010 is to me quintessentially Italian, a Gucci Italian for that matter with its leather jacket, super sharply tailored pants up to the make-up and hair but at the same time, it is also very Frida. “I’ve grown up. It’s more mature clothes for more mature women, because that’s what I am,” Frida Giannini said after her show. If she is right then I have to say that being 38 is probably a prime for any Italian woman because Frida seems to have hit another level of success with this collection. It is one thing to revamp and come up with a total new look for a mega brand like Gucci like what Tom Ford did, but it is another to fuse the house’s signatures seamlessly with the designer’s signature and make it identifiable as a single entity like what Nicolas Ghesquiere has done in Balenciaga and in the case of Frida Gianini for Gucci, it seems like she is earning her respects by following the latter. The bags are awesome too. I can’t wait to see the full collection.

Gucci Men Fall/Winter 2010

Posted on by

Gucci presented its men Fall/Winter 2010 collection in Milan on the 18th January 2010. The collection is heavily influenced by the house’s vintage archive. I am not exactly swept away by what I have seen so far but I am just happy to see that the famous unisex hobo bag is back! Honestly I have been waiting for it (and I know it will come back) ever since they relaunched the New Jackie last year. There is also a bag which resembles the famous Birkin bag from Hermes from the front. There are some good potentials in this collection. Hopefully they end up better in the stores 10 months from now.
