When I first wrote about Gucci’s gorgeous 1973 suede tote back in August–the moniker named after the Florentine house’s archival logo–I knew it would be a hit. Now that the bag has hit stores and consumers have snatched it up, I was right: Jennifer Lopez, Pénelope Cruz, Heidi Klum and Eva Mendes have all been spotted with the double top handle tote, with Angelina Jolie spotted on Sunday with the carryall while in Paris. Gorgeous brass hardware and a somewhat less conspicuous GG logo aside, this bag is plenty roomy to hold everything. I like bags with as little fuss as possible, and this Gucci tote fits the bill. A simple front flap pocket hides a snap closure, with a double-zip closure inside keeps things secure. This is definitely a timeless bag that will continue to maintain its chic cachet for decades to come.
