Summer is here, and with it, an increase in demand for fashionable travel luggage. As far as small pieces go, you can’t go wrong with this gorgeous Gucci Travel Duffel. Not only is a bag like this great for weekend trips when you can afford to pack light, but it also makes a fantastic carry-on tote. And the best part is, when you’re traveling through crowded airports, the vibrant blue will stand out in the otherwise-bland sea of black luggage. Available at Saks Fifth Avenue for $2,390.

Sometimes there’s a bag that stops you dead in your tracks the first time you lay eyes on it. Well, say hello to this exquisite Gucci Jungle Large Tote. With bamboo detail and metal beads, the black...

The Gucci Leather 1973 Small Shoulder Bag is smart and chic resurrection.

Available in Black or Olive (shown), this little 7"W X 5"H X 2¼"D bag is a perfect companion for shopping, dining or a night on the town. The oval GG logo and chain in goldtone hardware keep it dressy -- don't wear anything too casual with it, or people may think that it's from 1973.

Not that there's anything wrong with 1973 ... Dark Side of the Moon was released, the first cell phone call was made, and "Piano Man" played on the radio in November. Still, when you shell out for a brand new Gucci bag, you don't want it to look like a hand-me-down. Wearing a retro look can be tough to pull off -- this bag is only for the qualified.

With the right outfit and the right attitude? It's divine.

The Gucci Leather 1973 Small Shoulder Bag is available from Saks Fifth Avenue for $760.00.

The Gucci Catherine Guccissima Medium Dome Satchel is a gorgeous bag with a classic look that will last you for years.

If you're tired of bags with logos all over them, you probably haven't seen this chocolaty brown logo-embossed leather satchel, which brings sophistication and subtlety to the concept. This smart Italian leather bag is 16½"W X 11"H X 6"D, perfect for work, moms, and women with a lot of accessories they can't live without.

The distressed leather trim and top handles and metal feet ensure that this bag will age with elegance. Whether you pair it with blue jeans or a business suit, your daughter or granddaughter is likely to pull this out of your closet years from now, rub her hands over the texture and borrow it permanently.

The Gucci Heritage Medium Bag is kicky carry-all for ladies who aren't afraid of a little color.

We just love the retro military-esque stripes on the soft, buttery Italian leather of this charming bag. At 17"W X 10"H X 5"D, it's surprisingly roomy despite its demure shape. The silvertone buckle at the front is just decoration; the flap-top closes with a snap. The buckles on the sides, though, are real, and can be adjusted to accommodate your heavier-load days.

While not especially dressy, this bag makes a perfect companion for the local golf or country club with its preppy air, as well as shopping days in your jeans and weekend visits to the office. Pair it with some bright red heels for an adorable matchy-matchy effect. If you have a pair of red and green heels, keep them in the closet; that would be out of control.

The Gucci Heritage Medium Bag is available from Saks Fifth Avenue for $1,850.00.

Gucci - Shopping - Saks Fifth Avenue - Handbag - Clothing

Prada is launching its e-store in the U.S. starting July 1. in the beginning luxury websites were merely to promote the brand but these days brands like Yves Saint Laurent and Gucci also offer online shopping directly off the main site rather than sending shoppers to department store websites. Unfortunately you can't buy Prada clothing on the site but you can pick up purses, accessories and eyewear. The e-store is designed to capture a boutique experience and an e-gift feature lets you order presents online and that can be delivered to the home of the recipient with a personalized card. The Prada site is already very content rich featuring video of runway shows, short films, lookbooks and ad campaign images. Next up for Prada-style e-commerce, Japan.

During the ongoing World Cup, we at PurseBlog all feel just a little (ok, a lot) South African in spirit. The Gucci Joy fits the theme well with its Safari-like feel.
