Gucci Boston Diamante Print Canvas Duffel Bag | Warm Preppy Designer Satchel

Tracey Duncan — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 04:00:33 +0000

Gucci is one of those lines that's been around the trend block more than a couple times. I've seen it go glam, equestrian, even goth. All of those phases have been fine, but honestly, I like it best when it sticks to its classic, preppy style. This Boston duffel is a great example of what Gucci does best.

If you've been paying attention to Gucci for more than five minutes, the beige and black diamante pattern of the fabric on the Boston will be nothing new to you. Add to that its trademark center stripe and leather trim and the Boston becomes super classic.

The center stripe is done here in tan and black instead of Gucci's signature green and red, but it's recognizable all the same, so there's no need for an obvious logo. I love the perfectly scaled size of the Boston. I'm not always a fan of duffels, as they can be an awkward shape to carry, but the restrained size of this one makes it practical. Plus, the cylindrical shape of the bag provides the perfect counterpoint to the straight lines of the patterns.

The $960 price tag is, actually, not bad. Of course the Boston isn't leather, but it's plenty durable, and will definitely carry you through several seasons, if not decades.

Treesje London Boston Bag | Metallic Leather Top-Handle Purse

AndreaT — Wed, 13 May 2009 11:14:14 +0000

With metallic leather and chrometone stud detailing, the Treesje London Boston Bag has style to spare. The gray color makes it more seasonally versatile than a black bag. But, is the shape as versatile?

At 16 x 8.5 x 6.5 inches it's certainly roomy and you'll be able fit a lot in here - a book, a water bottle - it could get pretty heavy. And when a bag can get heavy, I always think there should be a detachable shoulder strap. This bag does have handles with a generous 8.5 inch shoulder drop, but handles can rarely be totally efficient and comfortable while carrying your office around in your bag. So if you plan to use this as an everyday bag, keep that in mind.

Triple compartment zip top closures will keep everything organized for you. Makeup can all go in one section so nothing else will get damaged if something leaks. Wallet and keys can stay safe in the center and your phone, ipod and other electronics can go in the third so nothing scratches the screens.

The fashionable details are the best feature of this piece, though. In addition to all the studs and zippers, the leather has that subtle weathered look that's so luxe and seaming in all the right places accents the shape of the bag.

Gucci Aviatrix Boston Bag | Spacious and Stylish Designer Handbag

Lauren — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 08:10:54 +0000

Fans of Cashmere Mafia will be no stranger to the charms of Gucci's Aviatrix Boston bag. It's the arm candy carried by the ultra stylish Mia Mason played by Lucy Liu. When a bag is carried by one of television's most glamorous characters, you know it's a keeper.

The robust exterior of this Aviatrix is made from canvas subtly patterned with Gucci's signature GG. This hardy fabric is accented with pebbled black leather trim and polished gold-tone hardware. The trademark signature web stripe strap is embellished with a Gucci shield crest lock closure for your peace of mind.

Girls who love to be organized will adore the Aviatrix. There's just so much room here so you'll never be stuck for storage space. The twill lining is so easy to keep clean. There's also zippered pocket for valuables and two slip pockets for your PDA and cell phone.

Aviatrix Boston bags are available in a wide range of fabrics, colors, and designs. Personally I can't go past the classic black. Its durable canvas finish and deep ebony color are timeless.
