So, in 1921, after a stint at Franzi, a luggage company in his hometown of Florence, he opened a leather goods shop of his own.Īt first, Gucci’s Florence business specialized in equestrian accessories. Guccio Gucci (1881–1953) admired the stylish suitcases he saw wealthy guests arrive with at the Savoy Hotel in London, where he worked as a bellhop. Today, it’s an internationally renowned luxury house with an iconic logo, and vintage Gucci clothing, handbags and shoes are among high fashion's most covetable goods. Unlike most totes, this bag has a top zip, which is another major plus in my book, especially when you live in a big city like New York and are carrying your belongings on the street and into the subway versus toting them around in a car.Long before trend-bucking creative director Alessandro Michele brought his hallucinatory “Utopian Fantasy” campaign to Gucci, it was a modest Italian leather shop. One problem with totes is that they often turn into a black hole and it’s so easy to lose your things in them. It has multiple interior pockets, including two zippered pockets and one slit pocket, which is ideal for a bag that’s this big. Meet the The Gucci RE(BELLE) Tote, first seen here, on style star bag is big, there’s no doubt about that-it easily fits an iPad or MacBook Air, but also fit my 13in MacBook. When I spotted a Gucci tote that was both beautiful and functional (and maybe could replace my canvas), I was intrigued.

It goes along with what I do! I’m constantly on the move, and if I’m out and about for work, I’m often running between meetings, collection previews, photo shoots and a million other thingss! I have plenty of larger bags, like a Louis Vuitton Neverfull and a Chloé Dilan Tote from a few season ago, but I just don’t love them like I love all of my newer bags, and so I throw my bare necessities into a smaller crossbody bag and if I need it, my larger must-haves in a canvas tote. I often have no choice but to tote around some bigger items with me, like my computer, me DSLR camera, or both. I know I’m not the only one who gets more than their fair share of use out of those free canvas tote bags. While I’ve definitely streamlined what it is that I carry day to day and often can get away with a smaller bag, there are some times when a canvas tote is just the necessary-evil accessory to carrying a mini bag.
