A selection of homegrown and international brands to choose from this weekend
Everyone’s wearing colourful bags right now, so it stands to reason that the new Gucci 1947 range, especially in solid colours, will fly off the shelves. They take inspiration from the Bamboo Bag – in post-war 1947, traditional materials were a sourcing nightmare and Guccio Gucci and his Florentine artisans decided to use the lightweight and durable bamboo for the handle of a new bag which went on to become an icon. Vintage sales of these bags rose after last year’s film, House of Gucci. This season’s tribute comes with interchangeable leather straps. Also, nine international creators were invited to present their interpretation of this revisited icon via photographs, illustrations and videos. They range from Maddalena Arcelloni to Samson Bakare (featured). Bags from $2550 on the international website.

“I’ve never even been to these places before,” she laughed, “and suddenly I have memories in all of them.” The dates, she added, were genuinely good — long walks, easy conversations, and meals that stretched late into the evening — and the best part was that none of it felt heavy. The boys she met are all planning to visit her in Mumbai soon, not under without any pressure but with a sense of pleasant continuity. “I’m great,” she said, and she meant it.
