The Good, The Bad, and the Fugly: Gucci's Fall Handbag Line

Gucci's fall handbag line recently became available on Neimans. There are a few hits and some sure misses - let's just say, someone on the design team has been watching too much Project Runway.

Scroll down for more.

THE GOOD

Pretty basic leather tote. Kinda hard to f*ck this baby up. Heart detail adds a nice touch.

Babousak Top-Handle Bag, Large
$1,595


Loving the way the patent leather shines. This is a one-size-fits-all bag. If you can't pay your mortgage, you can probably move into here.

Hysteria Tote, Large
$1,595

Cute patent clutch. What's not to like?

$675


The shape is a bit odd, but I think it would look a bit better if it weren't quite so stuffed. And brown python is delicious.

Jockey Hobo, Large
$3,295

THE BAD

The shape is weird, and there are far too many studs. And that tassle is awful. And the handle is too short. Nice try a knocking off a speedy, by you didn't quite get there.

$2,350

Dude...life is good...I love everything...stop the war...free love...sex, drugs, and rock and roll...Woodstock...let's take some more LSD...

THE FUGLY

Ok, this is where the Project Runway reference comes in. When I look at this bag, the first thing that comes to mind is: OMG, Chris Marsh designed this bag and put human hair all over it! If you don't watch PR, then this reference will be meaningless, but those of you whose guilty pleasure is reality TV will know what I'm talking about.
