28 years ago, when American dropped out of a seemingly endless war, Gucci launched a new collection of purse and soon became a fiesta of bag aficionado which definitely goes without an end. Adding a new milestone to the arduous journey, this Gucci 1973 medium shoulder bag with oval GG ornament inherited the classic designs from its predecessor as well as the defects.

Shape defines a bag. This Gucci handbag adopts the exact silhouette of the original design. My friend Noki called it cliché and refused further comment until he noticed the name. Anyway you shouldn’t expect your grandmother has the same taste as yours. Actually I kinds like the light brown python trimmed with light brown leather. It looks luxurious and exotic, but a little bit too shining for me, which is similar to the patent leather. The shade encircling the bag is striking and is the only attractive elements on the bag for me. An oval GG ornament is embedded on the center of the flap and snap closure which was very chit then. So at least they know what you are carrying.

There is no doubt that Gucci is good at making practice product. The Gucci purse is equipped with a chain strap with a 16.5" drop which is convenient to carry or shoulder but it may be much sophisticated if the chain rings are a bit bigger.  The hardware is made from antique brass, strong and durable. There are a open pocket and a zip pocket inside for more storage space. The overall dimension is 11"L x 2.3"W x 6.3"H, not very big but enough for your daily essentials.

The retail price of the Gucci 1973 medium shoulder bag with oval GG ornament is $1300. For a functional and classic design, it is a real bargain, or you can select cheap replica gucci handbags.
