It has been quite a while since I last discussed a Gucci bag with you. The problem for me is that lately every single Gucci bag has been heinous. I really despise the Gucci Monogram pattern, while I am not much of a monogram fan in general, the Gucci monogram makes me cringe for some reason. Luckily, there is finally a little accessory I do not have to click the X out button really quick on. Purple or black patent leather pulled tight make the Gucci Crystal Evening Bag a stunning accessory. I absolutely love the purple patent leather. The color reminds me of fresh juicy grapes right off the vine. There is a Gucci script detail in the bottom left coroner which is the perfect touch. Another surprising factor is this evening bag is affordable in the world of designer handbags. Pre-order at Saks for $695.
I am oddly drawn to this bag. Do I need to be smacked across the face with a dead fish? The Gucci Horsebit Hobo is a stunning bag (I own it in tobacco leather) and this version is different to say the least. The horsebit chain detailing remains on the top of the Gucci Floral Horsebit Hobo and there is blue and red embroidered canvas to add a certain touch. I am well-aware of the fact that this would not be an everyday bag, but wouldn’t it be really fun with some outfits? And face it, if you are a handbag collector, you have an array of handbags to switch around so it is not totally crazy. Right now it is marked down a ton, and I keep looking at it wondering if I should go go for it.
On sale at Gucci for $1379 (marked down from $3450).
So, should I do it??
