Gucci Aviatrix Boston Bag
If you could see my face right now, you would see a look of total shock. I can not recall the last few times Gucci has had me yearning or one of their handbags. There was a clutch recently that I liked, but other than that, I always pass by the Gucci store. Seeing the shop in Saks, I walk right past it to Prada. It is a sad day when once avid lovers begin to be completely turned off. But Gucci is trying to get things together for fall, and there are a few handbags that mark the spot. Being on back order is a good sign, and the Gucci Aviatrix Boston Bag proves that it is worth waiting list of people coveting it. The staple bag, the Boston, is re-done in gray ostrich with a gray velvet web and metal Gucci crest detail. Both hand held and gray are two of the biggest trends for fall, which makes this bag a hot commodity. Dimensions are 10 1/5″H x 15 3/4″W x 9″D. On back order at Neiman Marcus, but try your luck at a Gucci boutique or keep checking online. Cost is $9,300.
OMG, I love this bag! I have only 1 Gucci bag and I bought it at least 20 years ago…my first designer bag. But whew, that price. What makes a bag worth that much money?

It’s produced from skin of the bird that can not fly but its name specifies aviatrix!!

Actually, the entire Gucci line that resembles this Boston style is referred to as Aviatrix, not just the ostrich one.

I have ostrich boots and they were nowhere near this price.

The Aviatrix is really classy its a throwback to the 1940’s very Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.

I am not a huge fan of Gucci, but this bag made my heart flutter. I LOVE the Boston bag shape, and the ostrich is seriously to die for. *sigh* I want one!

It is missing that certain Gucci hardware distinction.
too drab in picture, but looks like its worth seeing it in person.

UGH! I love animals waaaaaaaaay to much to wear their skins! If you think leather just comes from cows….think again! Be kind and go to Target and get a real cute faux bag & save$

Nice looking but what does a $9000 bag do? Does it talk? Magic tricks?

Yeah, it talks volumes about the person who carries it, I believe. But different people might understand that “talk” differently

Ugly. Too big. I’m into sleek and compact designs.
