Here is another delicious purse to add to my ever growing harem of Gucci handbags. This lovely little morsel is the Gucci 211963 small shoulder bag and, in my not so humble opinion, it looks oh so scrumptious that I could just eat it up. Of course, given the fact that leather is pretty tough to chew on and that it pains me to think of something this pretty going through the process of being digested, I suppose I’ll settle for feasting upon it with my eyes.

‘babouska’ small shoulder bag with single adjustable strap, zip-top closure with tassel, heart-shaped gucci crest detail, studs, and inside zip and cell phone pockets. 14.9″l x 8.7″h.black leather with black suede trim and antique brass hardware. website exclusive.

It has to be said that, normally, I don’t like purses that are small – which is funny, since I don’t like big, mammoth purses, either. I need something roomy, though, because at any one time, I’m carrying two books, a cell phone, an iPod, loads of spare change, a few bulky clothes to clean my glasses, and goodness knows what else in my purse. Dinky little tiny handbags just will not do the trick. However, this gucci handbags totally fits the bill, because for as adorable and petite as it looks, it clearly has enough room to carry both the essentials and the extras.

The verdict? Black Friday is only a few days away, I think I’m going to have to go in search of some outlet stores and see if I can’t find this little beauty – so hands off ’til I get one. It is available at $259 with free gifts on Top1handbag.net.
