Gucci Large Bamboo in Leonardo print embroidery and croc trims for USD16,900
The Gucci Icons collection is a small collection reproducing the iconic designs of Gucci. The Bamboo is obviously the highlights of this season and there are many great Bamboo bags in this collection. The prices are generally expensive but then again they are icons [...]
I can’t really recall when it started but Frida Gianini seems to have managed to fuse her signature look into Gucci without having to create a big statement like what Tom Ford once did. Gucci Fall/Winter 2010 is to me quintessentially Italian, a Gucci Italian for that matter with its leather jacket, super sharply tailored [...]
What do you buy into a USD2,000 bag? Timeless design, superb materials and impeccable workmanship that translate to enduring quality, I guess. Gucci’s most skilled artisans will travel the world to selected Gucci stores to be stationed at temporary custom-built workshops where the clientele could witness live the process of crafting Gucci’s most iconic bags [...]

It is long due for upgrade and now it has finally arrived. Gucci in Paragon Orchard, Singapore took over the spot once Ferragamo and Aigner stood and the four floors above it, making it a five-storey flagship boutique to match the upgrades of the other luxury brands such [...]
Gucci presented its men Fall/Winter 2010 collection in Milan on the 18th January 2010. The collection is heavily influenced by the house’s vintage archive. I am not exactly swept away by what I have seen so far but I am just happy to see that the famous unisex hobo bag is back! Honestly I have [...]
I have secretly and subconsciously been eyeing this Gucci hobo bag for a few weeks now. At the first sight, it was okay, not iconic like the New Jackie but upon further and closer look, it just grows on me. The GG fabric in color sand looks way better than the classic brown playing background [...]
While its Spring/Summer 2010 bags are relatively bland, this Gucci horsebit belt is unmistakably iconic and sexy. At least there is a good classic piece worth investing in and at USD640, it is not ridiculous.

Gucci reinvented its iconic Jackie last year by blowing it up and calling it the New Jackie. The bag makes an instant hit, so it is about time it reinvents the other Gucci classic bag, the Bamboo. For its Spring/Summer 2010, the New Bamboo comes in two sizes (small and large) and with a detachable [...]
There is something very cool about this Gucci bag that I like despite it being made of the tired Gucci GG fabric. I guess it carries some elements of the old Gucci Italian charm that has gradually disappeared since the last few collections. My infatuation with the New Jackie has gone, substituted and fulfilled by [...]
Gucci brought snowman to Africa. Obviously not literally - it would have melted in no time (duh…!!!). The Snowman in Africa is Gucci’s fifth year edition of supporting UNICEF for good cause and 25% of the sales of the limited edition items would be donated to UNICEF. For Cruise 2010, the theme is Snowman in [...]
Marc Jacobs collaborated with Kanye West to produce limited edition sneakers for Louis Vuitton so Gucci had to catch up. I respect Frida Giannini’s choice of working with a Grammy Award winning music producer, Mark Ronson (who produced for Amy Winehouse) instead of a hip-hop artists who sabotaged Taylor Swift in an award show (I [...]
One of the most iconic legacies of Tom Ford’s era in Gucci is this beautiful horsebit clutch that is no longer in production. My cousin has one in brown Gucci GG fabric, i think it is stunning and very quintesentially Gucci with this glam styling. This is a pre-owned piece available at Fashionphile. At USD450 in [...]
The outlook of the boutiques are the most updated on this street.
This might not be the most stunning design of clutches for the next season but the blue python skin is gorgeous, don’t you think? The Gucci signature bamboo and D-ring details are also very well and tastefully downplayed to let the skin shine. Excellent choice for resort parties. Pre-order from your nearest Gucci store or [...]
I am a fan of the Gucci New Jackie but at almost Euro2,000 a pop for the canvas and leather version, I am not sure how well they have been selling around the world yet Gucci is still reincarnating it in not-so-classic (translation: not-so-easy selling) colors such as orange and yellow (gold). I was surprised [...]
