The Gucci Aphrodite Bag made its debut in Gucci’s Cruise collection last December 1
The past and present often intertwine in the world of fashion. Concepts are made as designers gather references and styles that were the fad in their respective time, which are then streamlined with today’s modern fashion elements. It’s a cycle we see more often than not, and when we do, our eyes are quick to see details that take us back to the past.
While some concepts reference a general fad, there are times when designs are inspired by the archives. Concepts that are close to the codes merge with today’s fashion—a blend of distant eras. This is a style that we get to see in Gucci’s new archival-inspired bag, the Aphrodite.
Introduced just recently at Gucci’s Cruise collection, the Gucci Aphrodite Bag is a mix of aesthetics. Though its construction is seemingly simple with its clean lines, details such as the Double G emblem might be taken lightly, but it’s a code that was introduced in the ‘70s. Another detail that some of you may love is their buckle closure that can change the structure of the bag.
A knack for archival-inspired pieces such as the Gucci Attache, the crescent moon-shaped shoulder bag is definitely close to Alessandro Michele’s artistry, thus making the Gucci Aphrodite Bag his last archive-inspired piece.
