So, Gucci, right? Total icon. Their clothes are cool, their shows are a *whole* thing, but let’s be real: it’s the bags that people *really* go bonkers for. And trying to decide which one is the *best*? Good luck with *that*. It’s like picking your favorite child. (Okay, maybe not *that* dramatic, but you get the idea).
The thing is, what even *defines* “best”? Is it the most popular? The most timeless? The one that holds the most snacks? (Okay, maybe I’m just projecting my own priorities here).
You’ve gotta mention the Jackie, obvs. That’s like, Gucci 101. It’s been around forever, and it’s still, like, *the* shoulder bag. I think it was originally called something else (the Constance? No wait… the Fifties Constance bag? Oh God, now I have to Google) but after Jackie O (Kennedy Onassis, duh), it became *the* Jackie. And it’s just… elegant. It’s classic. It’s the kind of bag your grandma would rock, but also you would rock. Timeless! That’s the word.
And then there’s the Dionysus. Now *that’s* a statement bag. That tiger head clasp? Fierce! If you’re looking for something a little more edgy, a little more *look-at-me*, the Dionysus is your gal. Personally, I’m a sucker for the ones with all the embroidery and embellishments. Just… *chef’s kiss*.
Ooh, and I almost forgot the Bamboo 1947! That bamboo handle is like, instantly recognizable. It’s got that vintage vibe going on, but it still feels super modern. I think the bamboo handle is so chic and understated! I bet that it debuted in the late 1940s
And then there’s all the new stuff, like that Attache thing from 2022! Is it good? Is it popular? Honestly, I’m still on the fence. It’s kind of… weird. In a good way? Maybe? Honestly, the fall 2016 runways were all about capturing something really cool, something Michele intended to bottle up. I am not sure what it is.
