I was just browsing on the catalogue on the official site of Gucci, desperately searching for something less puking as usual. Then I spot the Icon Bit collection which has 6 variants and of course 5 of them are unbelievable eyesores-as usual. Luckily this Gucci Icon Bit Medium Shoulder Bag with Horsebit Detail breaks away from the pact.

The Gucci handbag is made of purple suede trimmed with leather. Although Gucci has the worse sense of fashion design, we should never doubt with the material it uses. Anyway, it’s luxury products. The suede is not shinning as patent leather or any other glittering material which show nothing but worldliness. I always enjoy comfortable materials. It feels great when the bag touch your skin. And it’s also sumptuous and luscious.

There is no innovative design for this bag but several details are deserved to be highlighted. The shape is traditional but the hardware is made of rare ruthenium which is stronger and more durable compared to other frequently used metals. The strap can not be adjusted but an additional detachable shoulder is equipped for different daily occasion. Around the zip closure features the interesting horsebit detail which will satisfy the pickiest detail freaks.

Gucci Handbags is famous for the functionality. This Gucci Icon Bit Medium Shoulder Bag with Horsebit Detail is no exception. Measuring at 15.7″L x 5.1″W x 13.8″H, it is certainly large to pack your daily necessities. There are a inside zip pack, a cell phone and a PDA pockets but the cell phone pocket is a little bit small for my Iphone 3G. May it is designed for tiny female style cell phones.

Finally we should face the ugly truth. It costs $1390, an unsurprising price for a Gucci handbag but a ridiculous choice on the economic downturn. As a little consolation prize, Gucci offers free shipping for online orders. But what I can tell is the replicas flooding on the market. That’s the really ugly truth for luxury industry.
