Bag Snob - A Selective Editorial On Bags and Bag Reviews

Gucci Indy

| 5 Comments

I am not proclaiming this to be an "it" bag on our list, but there are reasons this will move certain people. Metallic of course is the big thing now, as if you haven't noticed, but the tassels with the bamboo is an interesting contrast and is a much better use of bamboo than as a handle, although this handle is SOOOO heavy and WAYYYY uncomfortable. The metal plates give this hobo a futuristic twist but not in a robotic kind of way but again, makes this bag SOOOO heavy. It is eye catching, it caught my eye in passing and I think that's what people want when they spend $2000 on a bag. It looks great when someone else is carrying it but let me tell you, they are suffering for their cause because this is one of the hardest bags to keep on your arm (and forget shoulder, that handle is solid and cuts right into your bone and did I mention HEAVY?? And forget the shoulder strap, it looks lame). At Saks for $1990.

  • Ugh. I understand the idea of form, but where on earth is the function?

    apparently you agree. but what is this world coming to where we pay $2000 for something thats unpractical - and i'll take your word for the fact that its also PAINFUL - not to mention the fact that one of these days metallics are going the way of the parachute pant, never to be heard of again.

  • Lindsay Lohan is sporting a MIUMIU

  • This so called 'it bag' WILL NOT LAST OVER a season... unfortunately.


  • I bought a limited edition INDY & do not find it hard to carry..yes, it is a bit heavy..but it is a lot lighter than the Chloe paddington..I only used my twice! This INDY bag though is HOTTT property! I just got back from L.A & saw the top crop celebs carrying it..only they didnt have my limited edition one!!

  • I've a Gucci Indy in black leather, purchased very recently, it is a little hard to carry, but it's not irritating and it honestly is a beautiful bag that attracts a ridiculous amount of attention!
    I highly recommend purchasing the bag to anyone who's considering it but is opposed due to the weight of the bag, it's worth it!
