I’m not much of a Gucci gal, I’ll admit. The interlocking G’s do nothing for my heart rate, and where some see elegance, I feel boredom… Most of the time. I own 3 Gucci bags, and the above Gucci Strike Large Tote might have been the fourth, if not for the price tag. I like the classic lines of this purse, the very clean styling. I even like the gunmetal leather trim and adore the bamboo handles. The subtly-striped raffia would be fab for a Hamptons-esque escape. But at $1,950, I think I’ll pass. If it makes your heart pitter-patter, pick it up at Saks.
