The Best Gucci Handbags for Fall and Winter 2010/1

The Gucci fall/winter 2010 handbag collection is now available for preorder and it is likely to have Gucci lovers salivating. Most of the bags are classic and practical in style, but they also feature interesting textures, details or prints that set them apart.

The following is a brief guide to four of my favorites:

If you like those miniature handbags you've witnessed celebrities sporting, you are likely to find the Gucci 1973 small shoulder bag with oval GG ornament highly desirable. At around 17cm long and 13cm high, it is not much bigger than a hand. It features a chain strap and antique brass hardware. You can choose between black, off white and gunmetal python. Expect to pay between $760-$990 US dollars, depending on your color preference.
