New Handbag Designs from Gucci
Well, it's that time of the year again. All of the big design
houses are releasing their new designs to the hungry masses, and
Gucci is no exception. Unless you have been stranded on a desert
isle for the last thirty years, you have undoubtedly heard of
Gucci. They have been reigning over the fashion world for a
great many years, and not totally without warrant. Gucci makes
top quality, stylish apparel and accessories for the
distinguishing shopper.
Guccio Gucci founded this fashion empire in Florence, Italy in
1906. Originally, their core business was the production of
leather products, particularly saddlery. By 1938, the House of
Gucci had grown into a reputable company producing a wide
variety of products, and they opened their first retail shop on
the Via Condotti in Rome.
Gucci's new line of handbags for the Fall/Winter 2005/2006
season is yet another spectacular addition to their fine line of
designer accessories. My particular favorite from this
collection is called "Braided Straps". It is constructed from
the beautiful patterned material Gucci has become so well known
for, and is beige, ebony, and white in color. The trim and
straps are crafted from fine white leather, and you guess
it......the straps are braided! I am utterly in love with this
bag.
I have also taken a liking to the "Bardot" model. It is a
stunning beauty much like its namesake, Brigitte Bardot. This
purse is crafted from warm, supple, dark brown leather with a
wonderful pattern embossed into it. The metal clasp is very
slick, and appears to be very durable. It comes with an 8 inch
shoulder belt, and the trademark Gucci logo is stamped into all
of the polished metal hardware.
It is always so difficult for a young lady to choose the perfect
purse. We seem to collect them the way boys collect comic books.
I have given up on trying to curb my desire for new handbags,
and Gucci bags are truly the ones I love most! I quite literally
lust after their purses. I love being the envy of ladies
everywhere as I strut down the block with my Gucci handbags, pretending that I am a supermodel on
the runway. Only Gucci has that effect on me!
