THIS 1970s-INSPIRED SNAKESKIN HANDBAG WILL HAVE YOU SHIMMERING FROM DESK TO DINNER

BY GENA ANSELL-LANDE

From its lovely, floral embroidery to the Sylvie chain hardware and buckle, this Gucci handbag, made in Italy (of course), is ladylike to be sure, but with a side of funk. It includes a rope shoulder strap, as well as one in snakeskin, and both sport a 20-inch drop, because…options! Its boxy shape, reinforced handle, and shiny-strong leather promise decades of use. The flap top, with curb chain, features a buckle closure ensuring that your goodies stay put, and the golden hardware is just delicious. The interior presents a microfiber lining and a single slip pocket.
