Why wait?
posted in Fashion & Style |Since the days of Tom Ford, Gucci has had something of a hard edge to it. Fall’s bags were no different with their icy metal corners and glossed finishes.
The Sabrina bag, for Cruise 08, is the opposite of all that. Dare I say, if I didn’t know it, I would never even peg this as Gucci. The corners are rounded, the shiniest hardware belongs to the 2 skinny zippers on the outer pockets. In a feminine twist, all the edges have a tiny frilly ruffle. No, ruffles are hardly new, but unlike the large cascading cha-cha ruffles done by, say, YSL, these are very subdued, and almost little girly.
That all said, the bag is a bit less fresh than I’d expect. The shape is one seen before from the likes of Prada to Biasia. And the ruffle may seem new and interesting at the $1000+ level, but not so much at the middle range.
As an example, the Magnolia from Treesje.
