New Gucci Treasures – Meet the Soft Stirrup

Gucci-Stirrup-Bag-2

Slouchy, chic and impeccably crafted, the Soft Stirrup bag is my perfect fall accessory. It is a supple interpretation of the iconic Stirrup shaped handbag symbolizing Gucci’s riding heritage with its signature equestrian hardware. Its spacious design (a laptop fits in perfectly) and the luxurious texture make it just right for work or the weekend and bring subtle sophistication to any look. Pair it with skinny jeans for a downtown vibe or a pencil skirt for uptown elegance.

One thing is for sure, you will see me on many occasions with my beautiful new grey washed leather Soft Stirrup. And while being at the Gucci store in Zurich (Poststrasse 3 – Phone +41 44 211 46 20), I couldn’t resist to get another must-have accessory for fall. The beautiful GG pattern shawl with fur trim in the season’s new berry shade.
I absolutely love my new treasures!

LoL, Sandra
