An Gucci Classic “Babouska” Medium Tote

I always think that horse studs are unique to Hermes as a tradition. But this season I have seem so many suds on Gucci handbags that I may say something as well. Fine, I have to admit that horse stud in shining golden brass is chic and attracting. But too much is worse than none.

Let's take this so called Gucci Classic "Babouska" Medium Tote as an example. Made from beige and ebony crystal GG fabric with brown leather and brown suede teim and antique brass hard ware, it is too complex for a bag. Bag should be as bag does. It is merely a bag, not an artist work. With a size of 44 x 11 x 31 cm, it can easily hold all your belongings. That's good. The D ring detail, double handles, snap closure, bottom feet and inside zip and mobile phone pockets are all functional. There is nothing wrong to pick up. But the heart-shaped Gucci crest detail, the fringe detail, the studs, together with the already complex GG fabrics make this bag rather confusing. We have reason to believe that the Gucci design house has no idea about the truth: simplicity is the ultimate beauty.
