Gucci New Bamboo Stud-Embellished Tote, Handbag of the Day

The New Bamboo Stud-Embellished Leather Tote from Gucci is a structured modern gem, and (for some reason) it makes me think of licorice. It's all layers of vibrant black leather with rows of small gold stud details, braiding, thick leather tassels, a detachable luggage tag and woven shoulder strap, and of course the single glossy black bamboo top handle. It also has a small stud and bamboo twist-lock closure on the fold-over flap front. Inside it's lined raffia and has one zippered pocket, plus a mirror and leather mirror sleeve. $4,200
