Gucci Marrakech Shoulder Flap Bag

(Photo courtesy of Barneys New York Dallas, thanks Nina!)I loved this bag at first sight and loved it even more when I heard the name. Givenchy’s Nightingale is nothing short of fabulous. The dark silver metallic ostrich leg handle lends a modern twist to an otherwise classic shape and very simple bag. I played around with it and it was really light which makes it a great everyday bag to knock around in. It is one of those bags that will go with everything so you don’t have to think much about it. Dress it down or glam it up, you’ll look chic no matter what you wear it with. Can I say again how much I love the metallic python detail? It’s subtle enough that you won’t look like a Vegas showgirl but substantial enough to stand out. And the price is not bad for an exotic $1,895 at Barneys New York. Call 469.221.4725 to purchase!

I am simply pointing out the improved collection from Gucci. Would I buy this? Probably not, but that’s because this look is not me, but if I had to be objective, I deem this bag to be pretty great. I love the fact that it maintains the Gucci look without going overboard with G’s and there is absolutely no bamboo anywhere on the bag!! I love the braiding trim that goes all the way around the flap. I also love the pocket that’s under the flap for quick access to essentials but still protected with a closure. This shoulder is your everyday bag with signatures of Gucci with the tassle and G’s on the tassle ornament for a sophisticated look that’s elegant and subtle. At Saks Fifth Avenue for $2190.
