12 Reasons I’m Obsessing Over the Gucci Giglio

There are a few things you will know to be true about me if you read this site, and one of them that has never changed is that I’m a Gucci girl through and through. I’ve been a Gucci girl since the start of my handbag journey, and working closely with their team has only furthered my adoration for the brand.

My latest Gucci love is the Gucci Giglio. I wrote a super in-depth review on my new Substack, so you can read every single detail about the bag there, but I also wanted to share with you why this bag speaks to me. Here are 12 reasons—granted, I could make so many more—why this bag works for me!

Stylish Heritage Meets Functionality

1. It’s a Gucci Girl’s Dream: If you’ve been with me for a while, you know I’m a full-on Gucci devotee. This bag hits all the nostalgic buttons without feeling dated.
2. Featherlight Wonder: Larger tote, practically weightless. I can carry my life without feeling like I’m in a gym session.
3. Timeless Design: GG canvas + Web stripe + brown leather trim. Classic Gucci vibes that never go out of style.
4. Bonus Clutch: The interior pouch is detachable, doubling as a chic clutch. As a devoted pouch girl, this feels like destiny.
5. Open Yet Secure: Yes, it’s an open tote, but it holds everything safely, and that little magnetic clasp? Nice touch.
6. Laptop-Friendly: The slightly East-West silhouette accommodates my laptop effortlessly. Work <–> meet style.

7. Everyday Rotation Material: Casual, easy, and versatile. I see this bag living in heavy rotation for months to come.
8. Effortless Over-the-Shoulder Wear: It fits my 5’10.5” frame perfectly. Sometimes, I need to make a tiny strap adjustment, but hey, nothing’s perfect.
9. Minimal Fuss, Max Impact: No internal compartments to complicate life. What you see is what you get and it works beautifully.
10. Classic Meets Nostalgia: Archival Gucci vibes with a fresh twist. It’s like your favorite throwback song but in leather and canvas.
11. Price Worth It (if You’ll Use It): The Giglio is $2,250. A splurge, yes, but it’s justified when a bag becomes a workhorse. And in this handbag pricing landscape, it still feels well-priced.
12. Conversation Starter: Friends, colleagues, and even celebrities are loving this one. There’s nothing like a little GG canvas to spark compliments.

A new small size is added, offering a removable shoulder strap. While the small size won’t fit your laptop, it brings the same shape and vibe in a more compact size. Plus, you know me and my love for any shoulder strap for maximum usage, so yay!
