Gucci has a beautiful selection of bags and SLGs lined up in the coming months, part of the Pre-Fall 2020 collection that kicked off with the candy-coloured GG Marmont Shoulder Bag you read about several weeks back. But in a departure from happy pastels, there’s also this, the Mini Marina Bucket Bag from Pre-Fall 2020. Even though Gucci calls it a ‘bucket’, you will realise that it bears more resemblance to a takeaway lunchbox instead, standing at just 16 cm tall.

The full-leather bag opens via the gold-tone clasp sitting right above, revealing two compartments that are roomy enough for a day’s worth of essentials. While the vintage-inspired bag comes in a completely new silhouette (way different from the Dionysus or Ophidia, for example), it’s furnished with iconic elements of the house, such as the signature bamboo top handle and interlocking GG gold-tone logo sitting right in front.

And while you won’t be able to find it over at Gucci Singapore just yet, you can purchase it online at sites like LUISAVIAROMA, which has it available in colours like Black and Mystic White. Priced at SGD3390 each, the Mini Marina Bucket Bag is an excellent choice for ladies looking for something different from Gucci, especially if you’re on the hunt for a non-monogram leather bag that will never, ever go out of style.
