Across The Universe-Gucci Galaxy Medium Shoulder Bag

I'm confused by the ambiguous name for the bag. Gucci always tries to do something different once for a while. For me, this attempting is a bit cliché but not bad.

Across The Universe-Gucci Galaxy Medium Shoulder Bag

Gucci Galaxy Medium Shoulder Bag is available in two color versions: One is in black leather with black crocodile trim, while the other is in metallic magenta leather. Of course, the black version is more classical and lasting, though the magenta version is more feminine. Both of which have Plexiglas and ruthenium hardware that somewhat makes this look rocker-chic. This is obvious on the single chain strap and on the interlocking G detail at the zip top closure.

Measuring at about 14 1/5 x 10 2/5 x 5 inches, this bag could surely keep your day to evening basic needs. And to add to its spacious interior are zip, cell phone and PDA pockets on the inside.The black version of this Gucci Galaxy Medium Shoulder Bag is quite more expensive than the magenta one. It weighs in for $1,390, while the other is $1,050, and although they seem to be expensive, their timeless appeal could surely compensate for it.

However, among the numerous classic designer handbags from the top fashion brand how to choose a perfect one is a tough task. As we all know, Gucci handbags is one of most popular item for them. Today I've picked up two classic handbags from Gucci classic collection to make a comparison, the Jockey Medium Tote with Double Handles and D Gold Large Hobo.

Compared with the brow leather trim and brass hardware of the tote, the off-white leather trim and light gold hardware present us a more vigorous bag. In the front of the tote is the polished horsebit detail while in the front of the hobo is shiny D ring detail. I am disposed to the horsebit detail which reveals more feminine feeling. As to there function, the Jockey tote is measured at 34 x 15 x 38 cm and the D Gold hobo is sized at 38 x 16 x 26 cm. the inside zip pocket and mobile phone pockets are designed for both of them. Although they hold the ample capacity for your everyday use, with the adjustable side buckle, the bag space can be adjusted according to your needs.

1 Gucci high heel over-the-knee platform boots come back! Obviously, these Division boots will be trendy in the next season. I do not know who thought of this kind of boots firstly, but I have to say they are full of fascinating allusions, and so daring!

Of course, at the first sight of these thigh-length or thigh-high boots, people will associate with eroticism, boot fetishism, prostitutes and professional dominatrices. However, the designers do not actually care about this problem. Women who wear these should deal with them carefully.

Well, many stars give us nice imitation. Look at Kate Moss. This special woman knows how to put the pieces together to create an incredibly chic yet edgy street look. And she as well surely knows how to wear these high heel over-the-knee platform boots fashionable and haute. A pair of skinny jeans is her recent wardrobe. The Black Lively's character Serena famously caused internet uproar when she wore a suede pair during Gossip Girl's first season, whose idea is to wear the boots with a short jeans.

Well, let us go back to these Gucci Division boots. Featuring thick soles and skinny heel, these sexy boots are comprised of black stretch leather. The 105mm heel is enough to show your slender legs. I think a listing from Gucci on Saks Fifth Avenue proves everything," Due to popular demand, a customer may order no more than three units of this item every thirty days."

There is the last thing you should care is to make Gucci Division high heel over-the-knee platform boots just a "dessert", not the "main course".

Gucci New Jackie

09.07.08-santorini-Gucci New Jackie Since the first lady Jacqueline Onassis toted numerous Gucci version created in 1950, Gucci Jackie has to be a symbol for chicest women. As an ode to this lady reside at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Gucci is launching an updated version of its classic Jackie bag, aptly named the New Jackie bag. Today's model still maintains the same basic silhouette, but comes in a more modern, oversized scale, a fresh color palette and with long leather tassels enriched with new bamboo details, which is another legendary fashion element in Gucci. In fact, Gucci wanted to experiment with leathers to bring us new, interesting versions - metallic leathers with violet effect and shinning gold hardware, reptile-like-skin in black and khaki tones.

But there is one thing it does not change- quality craftsmanship. Super soft and metallic leather, delicate Guccissima embossed logo and great texture without having to mess with the bag's structure or premise, which inherits from the original Jackie.

Model Anja Rubik rocks the Gucci new Jackie Fall/Winter 09 advertisment campaign like she did with the latest Giuseppe Zanotti Spring/Summer 09 campaign, but this time, black is the dominating color. So simple, so clean, photographer Inez & Viboodh did an amazing job.

The new Jackie has plenty of space. With a size of 48cm in length, 39cm in width, and 6cm in height, this bag can hold all your belongings. The Gucci new Jackie comes in 12 great versions ranging from coral python with khaki suede and khaki leather trim to military green leather and leather with grey. The Gucci new Jackie is a must-have-product in any lady's closet.

Gucci Medium Drawstring Shoulder Bag


Gucci Medium Drawstring Shoulder Bag The impression Gucci handbag leaves is always the GG pattern and classic appearance. But there are some exceptions. Can you imagine that a classic bag from a premier designer could actually look bohemian and not really that classic? Well imagine no more with this Gucci Medium Drawstring Shoulder Bag. It actually looks appealing and it is indeed a fresh take on classic design, making it even more interesting for today's fashion.

This bag comes in the signature interlocking GG patterned fabric with rich brown leather trimming. The drawstring closure with tassel detail, accented with logo ornament, indeed brings that bohemian vibe to this purse, including the shape.
This shoulder bag measures about 18.9 x 15.7 x 1.6 inches, so it is really large to let you pack in all your important stuff and whatnots. It also has zipped and open pockets, sitting on the cotton lining for additional storage. Large as it may seem, the adjustable shoulder strap of 5½ inches drop should be enough to carry it with ease.

And though coming in that signature print tells that this is a luxury, the price remains quite reasonable enough for $890. At least you know that in exchange to the somewhat hefty amount is a lasting carryall that could keep you in-style for years.

I wonder what Madonna has got into her very large Louis Vuitton Mahina XL Handbag. But anyway, though the contrast on her ensemble looks great, you could still wear this with any types and colors of outfits since this bag shows versatility.

China Luxury Market-Not Just a Bed of Rose

Every company on any industry is struggling on the economic meltdown, especially for luxury companies. When Europeans and North Americans tighten their belts, newly-emerging wealthy classes in China are desperately chasing for anything that will shows their affluence and status. However, it is predicted that China will become the one of the biggest luxury market in the future as its neighbor and archrival-Japan, but out of those optimistic hype, it is still a tough nut to crack.

09.06.15-Tommy-China Luxury Market-Not Just a Bed of Rose 01.jpgAlcoholic beverages is always the precursor to a new market. Although almost every brewery in China adopts foreign formulas or technologies, luxury liquor producers still doubt with the prospect. Champagne house Taittinger said it could make high-end sparkling wine in China but the market was not ready for it yet, while Lamborghini said the country's tradition of luxury chauffeurs, bigger than sports driving, made expansion there a challenge. The luxury watchmaker's Chief Executive Jean-Marc Jacot said. Taittinger said there were many places in China where it could consider making high quality sparkling wine - champagne can only be made in the northern French region - but Chinese palates were not accustomed yet to the pricey tipple. "It is probably a bit early," Pierre-Emmanuel Taittinger said. "There is not a strong (high-end) wine culture there yet."

Another concern is business culture diversity. Jeweler Van Cleef & Arpels, owned by Richemont, found it tough to get its brand message across, while watchmaker Parmigiani Fleurier worried about finding the right partners. "The specific challenge about China is finding a Chinese company you can trust and who understands the luxury business,"

Counterfeits are always the top obstacles for luxury companies to succeed in China Market. Hermes, whose chic handbags are hand made in France, would consider making goods in China if it could find artisans to make original items, but said it suffered from counterfeiting there. "Our image is strongly damaged by counterfeits. That is why we are fighting it like hell," CEO Patrick Thomas said. "When they (in China) see a counterfeit, they think it is genuine."

09.06.15-Tommy-China Luxury Market-Not Just a Bed of Rose 02.jpgCounterfeits cost luxury groups hundreds of millions of Euros in lost sales every year and imitations are becoming increasingly refined and sophisticated." The challenge in China is being able to explain to 1.3 billion people what your brand is about," said Van Cleef & Arpels Chief Executive Stanislas de Quercize.

While the number of high net worth individuals in China is set to continue to rise steadily, the bulk of the country's population cannot afford up market Western brands. But luxury groups agree that China, where consumers are very brand-conscious, will soon become the industry's No 1 market and this year will be one of the few emerging markets to enjoy growth. So it's certainly a rose bed but you have to nurture it by heart.

Gucci Tattoo Print Poncho

I always believe that creation is the secret of fashion. Without innovation, fashion dies. Thus the ability to create something new and unique is essential to the competition between various fashion design houses. Fortunately, Gucci is able to offer something new, the Gucci Tattoo Print Poncho.

090613-spring-august-gucci-tattoo-print-poncho

I like this poncho very much. It is made from 100% soft white cotton and with a size of 70 x 150 cm. It is made by a single large sheet of fabric with a large opening in the center for the head. And it is fitted with robe fasteners to close the sides once the poncho is draped over the body, with openings provided for the arms. To me, I like the tattoo print especially. It is off-white with red print like stars, crest, logo and blooming flowers. This tattoo can keep you warm when you are in an office with strong cold air. Besides, this poncho with festive design can be worn at special events as well.
