My Favorite Picks of Gucci Bags 2011 – All about Braiding
Now at the very end of 2011, when talking about the favorite picks of bags by Gucci this year, I am sure I¡¯ll tell you about the wonderful time I had in early 2011 when the Spring-Summer 2011 Gucci collection went hot. The ones I am going to pick are all about beauty brought by braided details. I admit that sometimes I would get a little fed up with the signature GG fabric, so these pieces are indeed something I would like to turn to for some fresh excitement.
I think I¡¯ll start with this woven holdall tote made of supple brown leather. The bag measures 63 cm across with a panel of woven leather going around the bottom half of it, which I think is quite a clever design and meanwhile rather chic. The dark brown hue has taken my breath away by bringing much glamour and higher versatility to the tote.
The second runway piece on my list will be this compact messenger bag. It has got a size of 38 cm x 34 cm, not too big or too small, and also a braided leather shoulder strap. The whole style looks really vintage to me, with the shade and the design. The messenger bag comes with suede lining. An additional zip pocket at the side helps you to organize your essentials better.
Then I¡¯ll pick up this handbag for ladies, in a lighter beige color. First up, the bag looks rather similar in style to her male counterpart. I am just also crazy about the beige color, which can go truly versatile and chic. Coming in a size of 37 cm x 34 cm, this Gucci handbag features satin lining.
And finally, here is another messenger, for ladies -- the Gucci Marrakech. The bag in my opinion would go a bit too plain without the fabulous braided trim, as well as the lovely tassels. Furthermore, the hardware pieces naturally evoke that free-loving/retro/vintage vibe. There is a bonus inside -- an accordion frame with four compartments, so you can better organize your stuff.
If the prices are the only reason why you can¡¯t get a Gucci bag, I bet turning to gucci replica pieces will be a choice you¡¯ll never regret, since the nicely crafted replica handbags now just fool people¡¯s eyes easily with the same looks of their genuine counterparts, as well as quite great quality and durability.
