Here I’ll show you 5 beautiful totes, whether you are looking for a work bag or a travel tote I’m sure you’ll find one you love!
So, without further ado here are The 5 Best Gucci Tote Bags:
5. Gucci Marmont Tote
From the iconic Marmont collection, comes this tote, that is quintessentially Gucci. Not long into his tenure as Gucci’s creative director, Alessandro Michele gave us the Marmont bags with a chain-strap crossbody as the signature style. They debuted on the fall 2016 runways, capturing everything Michele intended to bottle up and sell in bag form: the untethered bohemian spirit of the ’70s and the glamour of the Chateau Marmont, the hotel representing the old Hollywood glamour. On the bag, Michele introduced his flipped Gucci logo, adorning a semi-puffed chevron-style quilted pattern.
This tote from the Aria collection has all the classic codes of the style in three color variation, all perfect for everyday wear! The medium marmont tote could be a super stylish work bag!
4. Gucci Ophidia Tote
Debuted in 2018, the Ophidia bag places vintage Gucci in the forefront. Current creative director Alessandro Michele combined the Italian house’s most classic design elements to create an entirely new bag. What makes the Ophidia new is the GG logo, which was previously reserved for the GG Marmont collection. These vintage-style bags hold a spot in Gucci’s fast rise to prominence, which makes them a trend-proof style with lasting power.
A classic everyday kind of tote the Gucci Ophidia is perfect for Gucci fans.
3. Gucci Jackie Tote
The classic Jackie bag is reinterpreted in an elegant tote form. In 1961, Gucci introduced a Hobo-style bag that caught the eye of Jackie Kennedy, whose husband so famously loved Gucci’s loafer moccasins. It’s said that upon seeing a paparazzi image of Jackie Kennedy with the bag (then called the Fifties Constance), the Gucci family quickly christened the bag the Jackie. Presented in monogram canvas or leather, the medium-sized tote is defined by the emblematic piston closure. The bag can be carried by the top handles or by the detachable crossbody strap.
I would say this is the most elegant and chic tote on this list, it can take you from work to a night out.
2. Gucci Horsebit Tote
Another iconic style of the brand this is a classic tote for everyday wear. Designed with rounded edges and a soft shape, the tote bag was introduced to the Gucci Horsebit 1955 collection for Spring Summer 2020. As the legend goes, the horsebit hardware entered Gucci’s arsenal in 1953. It was Aldo Gucci—recognizing that shoppers liked a side of history with their handbags—who perpetuated the myth that the Gucci family had once been saddlemakers to nobility. Since the horsebit appeared on a handbag in 1955, that elegant hardware has become as recognizable as the Chanel double Cs. Made from GG Supreme canvas with brown leather trim, the double-handled silhouette is finished with an organizational interior and magnetic snap closure.
This could be an amazing travel bag; it would fit all your essentials.
1. Gucci Diana Tote
In the late 1990s, one often saw Princess Diana out and about with a bamboo-handled Gucci bag. Hers was in putty-colored suede, and even when it accessorized her biker shorts and sweatshirts on trips to the gym, she made it look divine. The first Gucci bamboo handle bag was launched in 1947 and since then the bamboo has remained an icon of the house. On the day that would have been Princess Diana’s 60th birthday, Alessandro Michele presented The Diana Bag, a bamboo-handled tote much like the version worn by the Princess.
Speaking to the narrative of evolution and reinvention that runs through Gucci’s designs, the bag is reimagined in three different sizes with removable, leather belts —a nod to the functional bands that once came with the original bag to maintain the shape of the handles. It also comes with the double-Gs facing the same direction, which are Michele’s remix of the classic Gucci monogram.
The Gucci Diana represents the cycle of reinvention and being free to be who you are – something the original poster girl for this bag would no doubt support.
