Lhe offer regarding It-Bag continues to grow season after season: and it is difficult to orientate yourself on the choice of dream model to invest in. Versatility is one of the characteristics to consider when purchasing the new 2022 bags, in addition to savoir-faire and style. And the brand, of course: with Gucci, hard to go wrong. If some proposals are now cleared through customs and on everyone’s arm, those who want to stand out now have bread for their teeth, thanks to the arrival of Blondie.
The identikit of a new icon
It caught the attention of the most discerning trend followers for the first time during the show Love Parade of the brand in Los Angeles, last November 2021 – and then in the dedicated campaign signed, among others, by the creative director Alessandro Michele.
Its captivating line was immediately noticed: thanks to a rounded silhouette, the maxi double G logo braided metallic golden and different shoulder straps.

Inspiration, a archive template which dates back to 1971: and indeed Blondie it is truly a discovery of the Seventies, thanks to the double bellows structure typical of the saddlebags of the time and the modern iterations that reproduce the model not only in leather, but also in chamois.

The line of new Gucci bags for the 2022 season includes several measurements and details: from the messenger model with interchangeable shoulder straps in leather and Web fabric to a smaller version with chain shoulder strap to be worn on the shoulder or by hand, as an evening clutch. A mini version also completes the offer. Blondie it is also available in GG canvas, in a wide palette of retro colors: from blue to brown, to creamy white and caramel, in addition to the classic black.

Who likes it
An all-Hollywood glamor has distinguished her from birth and from her first appearance on the catwalk. It is no wonder then that Blondie is among the favorite bags of the actresses of the moment: at the latest edition of Cannes Film Festival all the most prominent stars have flaunted it on their arm, from Elle Fanning to Anne Hathaway.

Both opted for the model with a suede chain, the most eye-catching and able to attract photographers’ lenses. For the day, celebs prefer the classic leather version, easier to wear: the fans of the day-to-night accessory, Benedetta Porcaroli and Dakota Johnson.

How to combine it every day
Apart from the high Instagrammable power of the piece, the key to Blondie’s success lies precisely in its versatility and its aura of yesteryear. It is no coincidence that it hit the simpler and at the same time best dressed women on the planet: an accessory for connoisseurs looking for a bag different from the usual, independent from the hustle and bustle of fashion.

Of character: to make it the protagonist, just gods clean jeans, a white dress, or even a gym outfit. But it also lends itself to defusing the brightest of evening looks.

Always with an unmistakable taste.
