Fashion Week 2010: Gucci Handbags
Sep 29, 2009 / Posted in Exotics, Fashion, Gucci Handbags by Amanda Mull.
I look through a lot of fashion shows and various accessories presentations. It’s an occupational hazard, particularly at this time of year, and it can be a little hypnotizing after a white. Click. Belted shift. Click. High-waisted trousers. Click. Oh, a cropped jacket. Click.
If the show isn’t wow-worthy, it can be easy to flip through Style.com without really absorbing what I’m looking at, much like I did with my textbooks in high school (and, let’s face it, college). But I looked through Gucci Handbags Spring 2010 twice, with rapt attention – not only is this Frida Giannini’s best collection of clothing since her era at the brand began, but it’s also the strongest lineup of accessories that I’ve seen from the brand in years.
The collection’s clothes have a way of being minimal and ornate simultaneously, and that’s the only way to describe the bags as well. Even the lean, angular clutches are fashioned out of candy-colored crocodile skin that makes me want to say “I’ll take one in every color,” hand over my credit card, and not look at the total on the receipt.
And that’s just the beginning. There’s texture galore by way of exotics like crocodile and python and Gucci’s signature logo embossing, and a few of the company’s classic details, like bamboo handles and horse bit hardware. The collection was varied and nuanced, containing a little bit of something for everyone; it was perhaps the most wearable, beautiful bag collection I’ve seen grace the runway in several seasons.

HAve to agree with u Amanda, its been a long time since i have seen such a great collection. The clutches are simple and elegant. Cant wait to see them for real
Cant wait to see the bags —- got me excited!!! Thanks Amanda!!
I was also loving the Gucci collection this season. The gray croc bag with the bamboo handle is swoon-worthy enough, but did you see the motocross jacket in the same material? I die!
But what really caught my eye were the new Bottega top handled croc bags (bright green! bright blue!), and the new Fendi peekaboo spring styles. Amanda, please please write about those!
Megs called dibs on Bottega, but I’ll take a look at Fendi for tomorrow’s posts!
Thanks Amanda, looking forward to it!
Gucci did goooood…
OMG!!!! I want that brown croc hobo bag. And the clutches are nice as well.
Those bags are hot! I love Gucci can’t wait to see the clutches in person.

have to agree with the liking its not brilliant but its gucci and i feel that someone finally got the message that well we miss tom ford so go for a more fordian style and well i personally find the collection alluring and that comming from a brand that just has not been out there as much as it used to is alot for me o and by the way people at gucci if you cant get him back at least try making the stuff you know is good like the people at chloe ……………………..hmmmmm any way i like the collection
orgasmic! the brown crock
Ithink that croc skin purse is just perfect for Arsenia Levie she only 23 years old that would be a good chrstmas gift for me or my birtday. My roommate calls me the purse queen.
