It's been a while since we last saw Gucci in the 'IT' handbags list. Nevertheless it is still my favourite design house despite the fact that the famous GG logo canvas has been over-used from a $2,000 handbag to a $435 dog mattress (yes, they made those). What i love about Gucci is the heritage of the Italian leather house that is synonymous with luxury. The bamboo, green-red-green web, horsebit and GG logo somehow appeal to me more than most other houses' signatures. The latest would be the old family crest.
This spring, Gucci plays down the signatures on its handbags and opts for subtle approach focusing on amazing materials such as top-notch leather and great usability. When i walked into the Gucci store in Hong Kong airport last week, Gucci Hysteria Small Top in Pink caught my attention. The leather is buttery-soft, the color is great and even perfect for summer. It is also available in patent version which is, in my opinion, more durable but you have to trade off the buttery-soft leather. Buy the patent version via Neiman Marcus for $1,295.
