Lovers of oversized monograms will be glad to find Gucci updating its signature motif for the season. Not only does the GG Monogram get a maxi upsize, but it is also rendered in four delicate pastel hues. Accompanying the Banana (yellow), Lilac and Pink tones is Camel canvas, while Mint (green) comes with a beige background.
The new range starts with the Ophidia Jumbo GG Top Handle Bag (SGD4520) in Banana/Camel. The structured top handle gives it extra versatility, allowing you to carry the trapezoid handbag in multiple ways. Your mobile phone, wallet and notebook will all fit nicely within the 25 cm by 17.5 cm bag. Simply secure the flap with the magnetic GG closure and be on your way.
Next, if you prefer a daintier option, then look to the chic Ophidia Jumbo GG Bucket Bag (SGD2550). Measuring 15.5 cm wide and 19 cm high, this semi-structured bucket bag looks best as a casual crossbody style.
Then comes the Ophidia Jumbo GG Small Shoulder Bag (SGD3310). It comes in the shape of a WOC, which doubles up as a clutch if you remove the chain strap. The 26 cm by 17.5 cm bag opens easily via the magnetic buttons at the side. Unfasten them to reveal two spacious compartments for all your bits and bobs.
Finally, the Jumbo GG Mini Tote Bag (SGD2310), which is something the boys can pull off as well. The delectable Mint hue is reminiscent of the ice cream flavour, with the GG Monogram mimicking a dripping effect all over the exterior. At 20 cm by 16 cm, this handy bag comes in a great size for the everyday.
For now, these bags are available exclusively at Gucci Singapore’s online store. Pre-launched ahead of local boutiques, these bags boast an estimated delivery date of 1-2 business days after your order is processed. In other words, it should reach you way before Valentine’s Day. Gucci also offers several gifting options, plus free returns if you change your mind.
