The Gucci Leather 1973 Small Shoulder Bag is smart and chic resurrection.

Available in Black or Olive (shown), this little 7"W X 5"H X 2¼"D bag is a perfect companion for shopping, dining or a night on the town. The oval GG logo and chain in goldtone hardware keep it dressy -- don't wear anything too casual with it, or people may think that it's from 1973.

Not that there's anything wrong with 1973 ... Dark Side of the Moon was released, the first cell phone call was made, and "Piano Man" played on the radio in November. Still, when you shell out for a brand new Gucci bag, you don't want it to look like a hand-me-down. Wearing a retro look can be tough to pull off -- this bag is only for the qualified.

With the right outfit and the right attitude? It's divine.

The Gucci Leather 1973 Small Shoulder Bag is available from Saks Fifth Avenue for $760.00.
