Straight from Gucci’s Fall 2017 runway into the hands of bag lovers, this frame top handle delivers the kind of old-world glamour Alessandro Michele has made central to the house’s modern identity. Alessandro Michele dipped into the Gucci archives and relied heavily on the brand’s signature bamboo detailing for this collection. While I would have never seen myself loving one of these bags, when I got my hands on this little black beauty, I fell hard.

When Gucci first showed the collection, the brand’s archive-inspired approach made it clear that bamboo would play a defining role. Crafted in glossy black leather with stunning gold-printed detailing and the brand’s signature bamboo top handle, this bag is truly spectacular. Here, that heritage detail feels especially refined: the Bamboo Classic Frame Top Handle Bag pairs glossy black leather with gold-toned accents and the signature bamboo handle for a look that feels polished, distinctive, and unmistakably Gucci. Gucci is one of the hottest bag brands of the moment, but you won’t see every fashion girl on the street carrying this one.

This bag is super-structured but does expand to fit all of your day-to-day necessities. It is the kind of bag that reads classic at first glance, then reveals its personality in the details. I still had some room for more, but with bag sizes getting smaller and smaller, I’ve learned how to streamline what I carry! Silk-lined in a pretty floral print, the bag has two interior pockets: one that zips and one slit pocket with a snap closure. What makes this style especially appealing is its balance of structure and practicality. 5″W x 7″H x 2. Snag one for yourself via Gucci for $3,700.
