Top Gucci Designer Bags Every First-Time Buyer Should Consider

Updated: 6 days ago

If a designer bag collection is something you've always desired, then Gucci is great starting point. For over 100 years, Gucci has innovated different styles and inspired different movements in fashion. Unsurprisingly, they've made great bags and in my opinion have the best variety and most options for first time buyers.

The Jackie Bag is one that is pushed every few seasons as Gucci's trendy "It Bag". However, it's more of a classic that has been around since the early 1960s. This beautiful bag was named in honor of First Lady of the USA, Jacqueline Kennedy, who was lauded as one of the most elegantly, fashionable women in political history. The Jackie Bag is the epitome of refined versatility. The bag was designed for evening wear but now seamlessly transitions into a sophisticated casual day bag. True to Gucci, they've made so many iterations that you'll undoubtedly find one that is unique to your personal style, even when it's the most popular bag around.


The Gucci Ophidia line (with the small GG supreme print) might scream loud luxury causing some to describe this line as tacky. However, I have never thought negatively about anyone I've seen sporting bags with the Gucci Ophidia prints. Instead, I get a sense of excitement and inspiration from people who confidently wear these pieces injected with such rich heritage of Gucci. If you are reading this, you are probably already interested in that and I'd encourage you to go all in. My personal favorites from this line are:

Ophidia Small Shoulder Bag: A cutie!

If my preceding recommendation gave you the scary jitters, then let me quiet your mind with my first love from Gucci- The Dionysus. Inspired by Greek mythology, the bag was designed with themes of duality, power and a connection to nature. It is one of Gucci's icons for obvious reasons. It blends in with almost any aesthetic and ranges from a statement piece to a quietly elegant accessory. Gucci has explored different sizes, materials, color schemes and metals offering a wide selection from which you can choose the version that most resonates with your personal style.

Call her basic if you want, but the Gucci Marmont will always be that girl. She's practical with a little softness and a whole lot of versatility. This was once the brainless, go-to option for starting a designer bag collection. It was the best bang for your buck being trendy yet timeless. The Gucci Marmont was so good, that everyone wanted one and everyone got one. This overexposure decreased it's desirability but Gucci knew well enough that she is a legend, she's an icon and she's forever that girl. They have been improving and releasing newer versions to this day. I mean look at this chocolatey goodness.

While these are just a few recommendations from me, Gucci has loads of options and endless variations of bag styles to captivate you. Feel free to explore their boutiques, their websites, some vintage and preloved markets for some of the best designer bags to kickstart your collections. Happy wish-listing and happy shopping.


Stay fashionably well,
