Some things never reach our shores, and while there are too many reasons to list exactly why, it does help that online shopping has become so common in Singapore. Just do a search, click on the bag you want and it’s here in 3 days or less. And one of those bags you should most definitely check out is this vintage-inspired beauty from Gucci that at first glance looks like an actual vintage piece.

Chanced upon quite by accident on LUISAVIAROMA, its silhouette bears similarities to another shoulder bag that was featured before, but in a different mix of materials that truly makes it stand out on its own. There’s the embroidered canvas decorated with lines of ‘GG’ over on the front and back, which gives the bag its old-world appeal while contrasting beautifully against the tan leather body.

The Italian luxury house’s icons are also all present, from the double interlocking G in enamelled metal right in the middle to the horsebit detail crossing on the front providing an interesting touch to the front flap closure. Measuring 20 cm wide and 13.5 cm high, the bag also comes with a depth of 12 cm so there’s ample room within.

You will find a roomy central compartment in the interior that’s flanked by two thinner pockets, so you can be assured that everything you need on a day out can fit neatly within. Available at LUISAVIAROMA for SGD3090, you can head over here to have a look, knowing that prices stated are inclusive of shipping and import fees. Which is always a bonus.
