Gucci Papillon Evening Bag

Gucci Papillon Evening Bag

Gucci Papillon Evening Bag

My eyes are not deceiving me. This is indeed the Gucci Papillon Evening Bag that has caught my attention. There are a few reasons that this is a great evening bag. First is the price; which is by no means super cheap, but in the world of handbag lovers $750 for a bag from a huge designer house and with exotics is relatively inexpensive. Second, the look of the bag is alluring. It mixes the bamboo detail to give it the tropical resort feel, but doing so in black keeps it classy for evening wear. The bags body is designed with black satin and the flap is designed with black ayers (snake skin). Dimensions are 9½”W X 4½”H X ½”D. This is a great evening bag for resort wear and especially great for the lucky ones that live in the tropics. Buy through Saks for $750.

Just sharing my good fortune with all of you faithful readers! I just purchased a Marcela Calvet handbag in lizard that is to die for; and I got it at 60% off their regular retail price. This is their year end sale and they do not have many bags left. For details go to: http://thebagfile.blogspot.com (since their website does not have the details on the sale).

Oh, I like this Gucci clutch too but I TOTALLY LOVE my Marcela Calvet “MARTORELL” bag.

Megs - what do you think of the Pelham sm w dark brown leather braid and details? I got it as a bday gift and am finding hard to work it into wardrobe more. It might be the logos or the brown/’ebony’ combo… the shape is good but I can’t help but yearn for a roomy whiteish hobo that I can tuck under the arm and throw tons of stuff into!

Want to know when the new clutches by Lambertson Truex, Marcela Calvet and Alexander McQueen are coming out. Does anyone know??? PLEASE HELP — having a soiree soon and I want to sport a very different and unique clutch that will make other women drool. It sounds silly I know, but if you knew the likes of those attending this event you would understand.
