Hot! Brown Retro Gucci Bags are Basics for Fall

I’m so happy that Gucci has come out with bags reminiscent of vintage fashion. Particularly, the Gucci 1973 medium shoulder bag is just a timeless piece that I would really want to have in my wardrobe. It’s not only functional but it’s also hip at the same time.

This retro Gucci bag has been seen at Gucci’s Fall 2010 Ready-to-Wear runway show, which showcased 60s to 70s looks. All the Gucci handbags, clutches, and minibags in that collection were consistent with the styles featured in the show. These designer bags come in retro hues and shapes that will really look gorgeous for fall.

Perhaps, what gives this retro Gucci medium shoulder bag a gorgeous touch is the modified, oval Gucci logo, which is very stylish. This logo isn’t new; it is actually a redesign from the fashion house’s archives. I believe this GG ornament completes the look of this bag.

Aside from the redesigned logo, this Gucci bag also comes with other stunning features. It is made from light brown leather, which is not only sturdy, but is also easy on the eye. It blends very easily with most colors of my wardrobe. The tote also comes with antique brass hardware that adds to the durability of the product. Suede lining makes it soft to touch. And for functionality purposes, this Gucci bag comes with flap and snap closure, and inside open and zip pockets.

Another noticeable feature of this bag is the gold single chain. I’ve read several reviews about it, which notes that this hardware can be very cold when worn atop one’s bare shoulder. For utilitarian comfort, fashion critics said that it could have worked better if a leather strap was used instead. For me, however, I wouldn’t have done it any other away. As we slowly approach fall, this detail would be less important as we wear layers of clothing. And I do believe this gold hardware works beautifully with the light brown hue of the leather.

Other Gucci 1973 bags that are in style for fall include the medium shoulder bag in light brown python and the one in light brown suede.
