Frankly, I hadn’t thought of Gucci much since Tom Ford left until recently. In the past season, it’s sort of reappeared on the scene. Gone are the flashy Tom Ford days, though. Gucci seems to be returning to a more classic European aesthetic. This Marrakech bag is a great example of where the line seems to be headed.
The medium brown leather on the Marrakech has a rich, cafe au lait tone that is rich and creamy, and also super versatile. The texture has a slight pebbling to it that contributes to the bohemian vibe, but what really takes it to the next level is the whipstitching around the edges. It’s a really nice touch on a bag that, from far away, looks relatively conservative.
The shape is small and classic. It’s perfect to wear across the body, which makes it look even more contemporary. The small tassels on the side are a great touch. They’re simultaneously preppy and a little edgy. The Marrakech is a fabulous bag that will definitely stand the test of time, as well it should for $1,990.
