There are a few things I expect from Tod’s: sophistication, structure, and style. Sadly, the brand forgot about the first criteria with this Gummy G-Bag tote.
The original Tod’s G-Bags quickly became a go-to bag for down to earth celebs like Jessica Alba and Julia Roberts. So I’m not sure why the label decided to give it this cheap and tacky makeover.
The name comes from the transparent red PVC, which appears something like a gummy candy. That might be a bit of fun, but it’s not very chic. Not even the tan leather handles and trims can make this tote appear as elegant as its $595 price tag warrants.
And that’s a shame, because the G-Bag design is just as appealing as ever. It’s just the right size for everyday use, and its shoulder straps should make carrying easy. But I wonder how many of us want all our items on full display. With no lining, there’s no mystery here.
There’s also no class, and frankly for $595 that’s something I think we all deserve.
