For starters, the grey leather is fabulous. The pebble grain leather is the kind that will stand the test of time while looking better and better with each use. But it is the stitching and horsebit detail that really captivated me. In fact, the embossed Gucci script logo isn’t half bad either. Another thing you know I love, versatility, applies to this bag as well. This is the perfect transition bag. Go from day to night with just a switch of some jewelry or coat and this bag still fits perfectly. With these dimensions, 13″H x 15 3/10″L x 2 2/5″D the bag isn’t too big and definitely isn’t too small. Thank you Gucci, thank you for making a bag I actually like. Buy through Bergdorf Goodman for $1450. Gucci’s New Bamboo Top Handle Bag can’t quite decide what it wants to be. Is it chic? Girly? Earthy? Crafted of stony gray colored leather, it’s accented by a bamboo handle and turnlock closure, plus a braided shoulder strap and tassels. It sounds a little strange, true, but the effect is surprisingly very wearable and attractive. The purse is versatile enough to carry from season to season, looking sharp with your cold weather jewel tones and right at home with your springy dresses, too. It’s also functional, thanks to a relatively roomy interior and pockets. Available to pre-order for $1950 at Saks Fifth Avenue.

but what you don’t know is, you can be transported Back To The Future with the built in flux capacitor. Imagine all the things you can do, like buy Birkins before prices hit 5 figures, collect the original Chanel 2.55 and of course, sell your shares of PPR before Tom Ford took off. I thought Gucci was finally going in the right direction with their back to basics collection but this could be a positive sign for the economy, people are starting to buy impractical and over the top bags again with exorbitant price tags.2010 Gucci bags Gucci Announces Collaboration With Christie’s and Upcoming Museum
