over the past couple months,gucci bags australia,gucci handbags,discount chanel bags on sale,cheap handbags, i’ve written about a couple different gucci boston bags – one had logo fabric, the other had a signature check flanking the webbed center stripes. i liked both, but i don’t make a habit of buying bags that cost more than $300 or so if the main material isn’t leather, so neither option was on my radar for personal use.

comparing this bag to the sofia coppola x louis vuitton collection is perhaps not entirely fair, but the similarities are inescapable. the vuitton bags don’t feature the webbed stripes down the center, which are a gucci signature, but i think i actually like it better this way. solid leather mini duffels aren’t hard to find,gucci bags australia,gucci handbags,discount chanel bags on sale,cheap handbags, even if finding them in leather as nice as that of coppola’s bags can be a bit challenging. gucci uses perfectly reasonably materials,gucci bags australia,gucci handbags,discount chanel bags on sale,cheap handbags, though, and the center stripes give the bag a preppy-traditional flourish that an all-leather option would lack.

this version of the bag, though? this i can use. and would use. and maybe will use? $1350 isn’t a price tag to sneeze at,gucci purse, but for a classic, functional leather bag (with a little bit of flair) from a highly sought-after handbag brand, it’s not as bad as it could be. particularly not when you consider how much a louis vuitton bag with a similar design would go for. (hint: three times as much.)
