Gucci Handbags: 5 New Trends

Gucci has some new handbags this season which have been added to my handbag wishlist. Truthfully, while I've always been a very big fan of other Gucci products, I'd always found their bags a bit garish; they just always seem to scream "look at me" at little too loudly for my tastes.

Nevertheless, I find myself impressed with some of their latest models. These handbags are made from lush, sexy materials, and that's pretty much all it takes to turn me into a fetishist. Well, that a handful of street-chic. Take a look at these and tell us what you think.

Is this not gorgeous? Look at that sleek little thing and tell me the color doesn't mesmerize. Every time I look at it, I get sucked in by that sexy sheen. The exterior is truly quality and the material is simply stunning. Everything is tied together so smartly, making this the perfect evening accessory - but it would look just as fabulous with a pair of jeans. This bag is pure art. Elegant and sophisticated, yet still very trendy.

Cost: $1295

Snowglam is where it's at. This material just begs to be handled. Simple, clean lines never looked so fashionably trendy and modern. I'm not generally a fan of red, but I'd make an exception for this purse. I'm especially not a fan of big logos, either, but this one looks good. Black, understated, sophisticated. This bag is sexy.

This reminds of me of one of those sleek, sexy motorcycle jackets European men are so fond of wearing - even if the only bike they own has pedals. The colors might be a bit much for some, but I actually quite like them. And I love the pattern. And, of course, the snowglam sheen makes it a must have.

Cost: $1895

Ok, this one isn't very elegant, and it's certainly not sexy, but there's something about it that I love. I suppose it reminds me of my teenage years when I had a slight obsession with The Warriors. This just reminds me of something one of those girl-gangs would have toted around with them. It comes in yellow, green and red. Not terribly sophisticated, but definitely fun.

Cost: $595

As with other brands, I'm not big on the Gucci-logo-everywhere look, but I know many people are. This is one of the only logoesque bags I truly like, and I even love that gigantic buckle. Brown and black go well with anything, but I wouldn't pair this with anything too glam. This handbag is a little soccer-mom for my tates, but I certainly wouldn't re-gift it if someone gave me one for Christmas.

Cost: $1290
