By christinelai on 03 Mar 2019

Gucci has undoubtedly become one of the most popular brands in recent years. The Italian luxury brand of fashion and leather goods has seen an overwhelming amount of success ever since Alessandro Michele took over its reigns.

In just a short period of time, he has transformed Gucci into one of the hottest designer brands at the moment. With many trendy pieces being released season after season, it's difficult to pick one to add into your growing collection of designer bags.

To help you out with that, we have compiled a list of five Gucci bags we think you should add to your closet. Read on to find out more!

GUCCI GG MARMONT

Ever since the Gucci Marmont Collection was released, it has been a huge hit amongst luxury bag enthusiasts. Its ever-growing popularity has made it an It-bag and has received the stamp of approval from celebrities and fashion influencers. Take a look around you and you will spot someone slinging a GG Marmont across their body.

The bag's design drew inspiration from the buckle that Gucci designed in the 1970s. Each bag features the GG logo as the main ornament and its structure has a relaxed feel to it. As a result, the GG Marmont looks soft yet sophisticated, making it the perfect bag to wear for every occasion.

Each piece in the range is an absolute stunner thanks to the iconic chevron quilting. Gucci is known for their take on rich colours, which further adds character to these already perfect bags. Colours included in this collection are black, blue, dusty pink, red, and white.

Despite coming out in several colours and tones, Gucci knows best that a brass chain shoulder strap would tie the look in together. And as if this bag does not sound like a total beauty to you, do take note that these bags from the range share a cute detail on the back — an embroidered heart. What's there not to love?

GUCCI DIONYSUS

First introduced for the Gucci's Fall/Winter 2015 Collection, the brand's Dionysus bag has become one of Gucci's most popular handbags since then. This iconic bag was named after the Greek God, Dionysus. According to Greek mythology, Dionysus was the God of agriculture, fertility, wine, life, pleasure and dance and of immortality.

Combining the styles of ‘Old’ Gucci and ‘New’ Gucci brought about the birth of the Dionysus bag. A good example would be that a majority of the bags from the range carry the authentic “GG” Supreme monogram canvas pattern and are melded with suede details. The latest additions to the range include more delicate patterns, featuring embroideries of birds, bees, flowers and many other iconic Gucci symbols.

The Dionysus bag has been praised for its versatility thanks to its many features, including a tiger head closure in antique silver hardware, four pockets and an internal compartment with a zipper, suede lining and hand-painted edges, and finally with a sliding chain strap.

With a plethora of prints to choose from, there's going to be a bag that will fit your style. Whether you're looking for a timeless, elegant bag or just a trendy, seasonal piece, the Dionysus bag is definitely a piece you should consider adding to your collection.

GUCCI SOHO

Gucci's Soho Disco bag was first introduced into the world of high fashion and it has been one of the brand's hottest bags ever since. The iconic Soho Disco bag has been spotted on many A-listers, including Emma Roberts, Selena Gomez and Rihanna.

During the making of the Soho Disco bag, Gucci revisited its 1970s archives, hence explaining the vintage vibe of the elegant pebbled calfskin leather crossbody. Its timeless style will be your perfect companion as you hit the streets and will take you from day to evening with ease.

Embossed with the label's iconic interlocking 'GG' motif and adorned with the signature tassel zip pull, this small shoulder bag is perfectly poised to fit your everyday essentials. Whether it's your wallet, cosmetics, keys or your handphone, this compact and lightweight bag will definitely be roomy enough.

Available in classic hues like black, red and rose beige, the Gucci Soho Disco Bag will definitely be a timeless piece that will last through seasons after seasons. Occasionally, Gucci releases the Soho Disco in seasonal colours so if that's to your liking, do keep your eyes peeled. If you hate the thought of denim transferring onto your bag, do consider going for the darker shades instead.

GUCCI PADLOCK

Introduced in 2015 for Gucci’s Spring/Summer 2016 Collection, the Padlock Bag features a key lock closure which has once again taken its inspiration from Gucci’s iconic travel trunks. The Padlock Bag has been another hit on the market and celebrities from the likes of Kris Jenner and Ellen Fanning are fans of this beauty.

The Padlock Collection brings you a variety of bag styles ranging from shoulder and top handle bags to wallets. Whether you're in love with the GG Supreme Canvas or the Gucci Signature Leather, there's definitely something for those who are looking for the perfect arm candy.

The Padlock Bag makes a versatile piece to have in your closet as its sliding chain strap can be worn in multiple ways, changing between a shoulder and a top handle bag. Topped off with shiny gold-toned hardware, you'll have yourself a gorgeous timeless piece everywhere you go.

If you're the type of girl who would have a small bag over a big one, this Gucci Padlock bag is one of the best designer bags to invest in if you're on a lookout for a new addition to your wardrobe. Not only will it fit your essentials, but this bag will also be the perfect accessory to dress up any outfit.

GUCCI SYLVIE

The Sylvie Bag first caught our eyes when it was presented for Gucci’s Spring/Summer 2016 Collection. The Gucci Sylvie Bag is a classic model that comes with a top handle and it features a nylon web embedded under the Gucci signature leather.

Ever since it first graced the catwalk in 2016, Gucci has churned the bag out in more colours and styles, which further intensified our lust for the Sylvie bag. The Sylvie cleverly captures the brand's classic style yet somehow manages to project a fresh and stunning new look.

Here's why we are lusting after the Sylvie: It's carefree, fun and quirky, yet it carries a tinge of femininity at the same time. Also, it features an elaborate military-inspired chain that sits over a contrasting webbing detailing on the front flap, which frankly makes it a lot easier to transition your outfit from day to night.

The Sylvie has been known as the perfect bag for the sophisticated lady who wants to add a little edge to her feminine style. Check it out on Girls' Generation member, Tiffany Young and see how this quirky bag pairs well with her feminite outfit.

One thing that we know for sure, is that any Gucci bag that has been released the fashion house recently is bound to turn heads. Though its recent designs are flamboyant, bright, and a little quirky, these pieces still somehow manage to exude elegance which explains its growing popularity. We hope this list has narrowed down your wish list and that you have decided on your next bag.
