The First Major Bag From Gucci’s New Creative Director Has Arrived

Gucci Interlocking Shoulder Bag Pink

When Gucci appointed Alessandro Michele, formerly Gucci’s head of accessories, to be its new creative director, we were excited to see what was to come for the brand’s bags. Alessandro already had a vast understanding of Gucci accessories, and the fit seemed perfect. However, his first runway show wasn’t filled with bags; instead Alessandro choose to focus on one major style to send down the runway.

That bag has now arrived in stores, and it’s called the Interlocking Shoulder Bag, as well as the Linea B Medium GG-Clasp. There are plenty of renditions and a few size options as well, and while this bag isn’t over the top, its sleek lines and clean design are both fashion-forward and beautiful.

There a few colors, but the pink and turquoise are my favorite, and both contrast with silver-tone hardware. Gucci is known for paying attention to detail, and it shows on this bag, with hand-painted edges and manual stitching detail. The stand-out feature of the bag is the flap front with a classic interlocking G closure, which has a very iconic feel to it.

This is one of those bags that doesn’t need much explanation, and the final product is just right. You know I have a soft spot for Gucci, and as I’ve looked at this bag a bit more, I’ve fallen for it. Shop Pre-Fall Gucci bags via Neiman Marcus online.

Such a boring bag. Nothing new, nothing special.
ps. I’d like so much see some posts on Missoni, Etro, Versace, Maison Margiela, Vivienne Westwood, Giorgio Armani, Paul Smith and others. Thank you.

Paul Smith, Vivienne Westwood and Missoni would be amazing!

It’s okay. I think he really should’ve came out with a bigger bang than this. Gucci is in for a bumpy ride, sorry, a long bumpy ride if this is what’s to come.

Didn’t he do a very similar bag for fall 2011?

I saw this in person today. I wanted to love it. But, I just…liked it. It’s a nice, simple, classic bag that does no wrong. If it was a gift, I’d keep it. But, I don’t think I’d ever buy it. I really would have liked to see something more interesting for the debut of a new approach at Gucci.

If anyone is interested, they are in at the Gucci inside Saks on the Mag Mile.

Hey Gucci, ever heard the expression, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!”? That bag is plain and so un-Gucci like. Why the change?

Nice styling, but… what’s it like inside? Is it lined? Is it divided? Is there a zippered pocket for keys? I went to the Gucci boutique last month all prepared to plunk down a chunk of $$$ on a Soft Jackie, only find that it was an unlined, undivided blob. An expensive blob, at that. Nice leather, but as far as usability, a big fat zero. Bought a Saint Laurent Small SDJ instead… lined with glorious suede, with dividers galore!

I have sene this style before. I saw the new Gucci collection and while some bags are good, some are copies. I have seen this one and another style similar to this but larger where you open the clip for flap-over and a zip at the top, kind of like Fendi. I expect more innovative stuff from Gucci, not copies like other brands.

It’s still a Frida Giannni design this is her pre fall collection before she was fired. Alessandro’s Dionysus bag comes out later this month which is his first bag. Just a little correction that interlocking G bag is not new Gucci.

Giving Rebecca Minkoff vibes…

Hmmm… it’s a whole lotta meh. It looks like any other bag I’ve seen before and it certainly doesn’t really exude glamour. Honestly, it looks a little budget.

I really like it. Simple and not in your face!

It’s a little bothersome that TPB is so in Gucci’s pocket. This bag looks like a Chanel bag. If any other brand has released this, they would have mentioned it.

emily

Literally every brand has done something that looks like a Chanel bag so what’s the point of mentioning, it has nothing to do with them sucking up to Gucci.

I like this bag.
