Since it is Chinese New Year, I thought I would talk about
some Asian inspired fashion!
Gucci’s stylish Asian inspired new bamboo bag is a 21st
century reinterpretation of one of Gucci’s most iconic handbags. The original
Gucci bamboo bag was a small constructed handbag delicately crafted in pig skin
with curved bamboo handle. Throughout the 1950s and 60s, the bag was worn by
many celebrities making it one of Gucci’s most famous and loved handbag
designs.
The new bamboo bag comes slightly bigger and for the first
time, nickel is introduced to the hardware of the bag, giving it a cooler
touch. The original had a leather strap
to complement the bamboo handle, but the new bamboo bag has a draped metal
chain with braided base instead to add a sexier and modern touch.

Asian influence has also been made to Louis Vuitton as Marc Jacobs
presented his Spring/Summer 2011 collection in Paris.
