At first I was like “huh?”, then was like “ah~” and at last it was “wow!” This Gucci Joy Boston Bag with elephants and snowman print is just the bag that can cheer you up in a tough day. Elephants, I think, are supposed to live in tropical areas while snowmen are iconic of winter or arctic area. Two things of utterly opposite pole go together in a Bag. That’s brilliant imagination only Gucci designers can think of.
The elephants, appearing in different movements, seem to dance and run alongside the snowmen, with holly leaves interspersed between on their white beige GG plus bag. The print, for people who prefer classics, may be a little gimmick and quirky. But this playful and joyful print is perfect to accent a flowing summer dress and a fall dress.
The brown (or black) elephants and green leaves and white snowmen make up a harmoniously color composition. I think this special print has something to do with Gucci’s donation to the UNICEF African students program (if the elephants can be interpreted as a symbol of Africa, green of peace, and snowmen of people). Gucci will donate 25% of each sale of this bag to UNICEF. If you think that the print is too far away Gucci’s traditional style, the refine craftsmanship of white leather trim and light gold hardware still gives hints to Gucci’s upper class luxury brand image.
