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.
