Last year, Gucci’s Sukey handbag, which has been especially designed for their Unicef projects, looked like this:
This year, the brand has updated the Sukey, giving it a deeper chocolate brown color and a slightly vintage and boxier form:
The Sukey is a best-seller for the brand. And with every purchase of this, 25% of the cost goes to Gucci’s funds for its UNICEF outreach programs.
The brand has been committed to helping the organization since seven years ago. And the money they bring in helps UNICEF builds schools in Africa, where many children affected with HIV get their education.
The Sukey handbag comes with the trademark 1935 Diamante motif and for this style, the motif is embossed in the material. It also comes with hardware that features the brand’s insignia.
The handbag will be available for sale beginning June of 2011, until February next year. And then a new design should be out again following this.

Gucci Updates Their Sukey Tote For Unicef
One thing I love about spring fashion is that it’s okay to get wild and crazy over colors and designs and not look odd or weird wearing it this way. And this year, it’s particularly interesting because even handbags are going the way of colorblocking.
Colorblocking has dominated spring fashion lines in the past, except that it’s been mostly applied to clothes. But now it’s also on handbags and recent runway shows have presented quite an interesting selection for it.
The handbags are from Prada and Dior.
Colorblocking is simply a style that presents different colors in different blocks in one piece. What’s interesting about it is that the colors can be the unlikeliest combination you can think of, and the designer can actually make the style work.
This is a whole new and refreshing way to spice up your spring wardrobe. Don’t you just love colorblocking?

Seen at the London Fashion Week…
This unusual bag is a drawstring pouch set with brass castors and a studded base. I’m not sure where one would ever get to use this, but the design of this bag is definitely very urban. It’s from Kei Kagabi, who ingeniously mixes fashion and architecture into this fancy handbag.
If anything other than used as a bag, this makes a fantastic art piece for display in the living room or the foyer.
This is exclusively available at Selfridges.
This is actually a cross between a bag and a big piece of jewelry. It’s a metal piece with Amber setting. A lot of care may be needed to keep this metal looking sharp. The chain strap is removable. L:16cm H:12cm
You can get this from Topshop.
