Gucci has launched its Spring Summer 2013 handbag collection featuring two key styles - Aristographic Clutches and Karung Print Icons.

Gucci Creative Director Frida Giannini has designed the Aristographic clutch to complement the vibrant allure of the women’s ready-to-wear collection. Innovation meets timeless chicness in this small boxy-bag, characterised by a sharp, minimalist design, interpreted both in delicate fume and transparent tones and in the more vivid colours of citrus yellow, palm green and begonia pink.

Frida Giannini has also reinterpreted some of Gucci’s most legendary designs to introduce a glamorous print that reflects the exotic hints of the season. Iconic bags such as the New Jackie, the Soft Stirrup and the New Bamboo are presented in stone-coloured karung print, with a natural yet very sophisticated appeal.

The House of Gucci, better known simply as Gucci is an Italian fashion and leather goods brand, part of the Gucci Group, which is owned by French company PPR. Gucci was founded by Guccio Gucci in Florence in 1921.
