Gucci Loves New York

| 6 Comments

We are in New York and having a great time. I spent Sunday afternoon roaming around the city between shows (it was almost 50 degrees when I arrived, my friends say I brought the sunshine!) and soaking in the amazing energy of the greatest city on earth. I bring my toddler son here 3-4 times a year and he has grown to love "N'york", as he calls it. He especially loves going to the parks and many playgrounds the city has to offer. Like my son and I, Gucci loves New York, too! Gucci's brand new bag will salute the city it loves, 100% of the proceeds from the limited edition Gucci Loves NY bag will benefit the Playground Partners of the Central Park Conservancy. This donation will go towards the maintenance and operation of the 21 children's playgrounds in Central Park. For more information on the Conservancy, visit www.centralparknyc.org. To purchase the bag, please visit Gucci's new Flagship store at 725 Fifth Avenue.

The playful bag will come in three sizes: Small- $570, Medium-$640, Large-$690. Available starting Feb 8th.

  • Oh this is cute ! and i am so not a Gucci fan. But i will be purchasing this bag .

  • I adore this bag! Unfortunately I am from Europe and will not be coming to NY before summer again. I fear it will be sold out by then. Is there any way to purchase it in Europe?

    Thanks and keep on doing such great work!

  • What a great bag! Tourist-y and cheeky. I love it

  • Karin, actually you can get a very similar bag from Raffaello Network´s for 697 euros.

  • Oh As soon as I thought Gucci was doing better they tell the world that they are opening a almost 50K square foot store in the trump building on 5th . They said they hope this keeps people from thinking they are a mass market brand' and that the store was for us new yorkers not turist. . Ummmmmmmmmmmm a 47,000 square foot store for one brand screams "MASS MARTKET" . And it screams "TURIST SHOP HERE" .

    Gucci is donzo!

  • I am not a fan of Gucci's logo plastered all over their bags but this one looks cute ( I guess it's because you can hardly see the G's es !!).Shame it's not available in UK
