Gucci is pleased to introduce the new Lady Stirrup collection, a sophisticated line of handbags designed by Creative Director Frida Giannini to complement the opulent and dramatic glamour of the Autumn/Winter ready-to-wear collection.
Diane Kruger carried a Gucci Fall/Winter 2012-13 midnight blue structured Lady Stirrup bag with front flap pocket and leather top handle with tarnished gold hardware and spur closure detail at Nice Airport during the 65th Annual Cannes Film Festival on May 28, 2012.
The line is characterized by the iconic spur ornament, featured on every shape as a timeless symbol of the equestrian heritage of the House.
Balancing the extraordinary artisanal tradition of Made in Italy with a bold touch of modern femininity, the new models are available in a luxurious range of plain and exotic leathers from calf, lamb and pony skin to shiny crocodile. The versions in rich velvet with all-over Diamante print and in the floral printed suede with shiny/mat look are extremely soft and elegant.
The nocturnal color palette includes dark and intense shades like black, night blue, scarlatto and sage, further enhancing the subtle and refined sensuality of the season.
The rigid construction and frame closure that distinguish the Lady Stirrup line are manually conceived through the expert and meticulous work of Gucci artisans: exquisite hand stitching and daubing processes are executed in the utmost accurate way to deliver unique masterpieces, perfect from daywear to cocktail outfits.
Each model is embellished with the distinctive archive-inspired brass spur on the top closure, combined with diamond-shaped stud decorations, half-horsebit metal links and a detachable hanging mini purse with snap closure.
Lined in black suede or natural cotton linen, the inside of the bag is functionally equipped with zipped or open pockets, boasting the gold-embossed crest that echoes the original trademark first created by Guccio Gucci in the 50's.
The Lady Stirrup line is a new symbol of Gucci's impeccable and timeless craftsmanship. A bold and elegant collection of handbags to wear forever - every piece skillfully mirrors the House's values of superb quality, modern innovation and eternal beauty.
