–SPECIAL– "GUCCI" 95-98’s Satin horsebit top-handle bag

From GUCCI, which has elevated fine craftsmanship in leather goods into luxury infused with the spirit of the times, we introduce a superb piece condensed with the aesthetic sensibility of the Tom Ford era.

This exquisite top handle bag features a beautiful reinterpretation of satin's luster and the horsebit.

First and foremost, the smooth gloss of the light gray satin fabric is captivating, as it spreads a soft reflection unlike leather, establishing a presence with an airy feel despite its minimalist design. The delicate nature of satin causes shadows to sway depending on the viewing angle, quietly adding a touch of elegance to the hand.

While featuring GUCCI's iconic horsebit on the front, the central part is switched with white enamel or resin processing, giving it a lightness different from the traditional full-metal heaviness, and the interpretation typical of the Tom Ford era that refines tradition into modernity is immediately apparent. The gold metal at both ends is subdued in gloss, and the understated hardware allows the satin texture to stand out, creating an overall elegant appearance.

The shape features a flap design, and the top handle is also carefully designed, making the act of holding it naturally elegant. The use of a magnetic button for opening and closing adds practicality by reducing stress during daily use. Inside, it bears the GUCCI embossed logo and "MADE IN ITALY" inscription, and a serial number engraved on the back of the flap ensures clear archive information, providing peace of mind.

The reason it can be judged to be from around 1995 to 1998 is that the serial number starts with 005 in a format of three digits, three digits, and four digits, which aligns with the standardized format of Tom Ford's mid-1990s era, and the presence of a US patent 4453294 engraved on the magnetic button confirms this patent was registered in 1984, ruling out earlier periods. Additionally, the design using enamel-like switching on the horsebit aligns with the trend of reinterpretation of tradition at that time.

The added value of this masterpiece lies in its archive from the Tom Ford era, which is currently being reevaluated, and the material choice that shifts the brand's signature to an evening vibe, blending chic sensuality with minimalism. Instead of relying on flamboyance, it creates allure through the quality of gloss and the editing of details, maintaining the wearer's dignity and even sharpening their silhouette.

As a MOOD, it is especially recommended for those who value how to incorporate historically inspired designs into the current atmosphere rather than the strength of logos or decorations, adding a single piece of different texture to everyday outfits to elevate the overall style.

In terms of styling, it naturally pairs well with tailored jackets or simple coats for a polished look, and even when added to minimalist dresses or crisp combinations like shirts and slacks, the satin's luster and the dignity of the horsebit stand out effortlessly. Keep accessories understated, and finish with leather shoes or boots to create a genderless, refined mood.

Take this opportunity.
