Cover Fashion fiend mother-and-daughter duo Nina and Chloe Ng, who are avid Gucci lovers, toting handbags from the Gucci Beloved collection onboard the historic Orient Express

A reference to the fashion house’s past, the Gucci Beloved collection features four iconic styles: the Gucci Horsebit 1955, Jackie 1961, Dionysus, and GG Marmont

A beloved bag is one that stays by one’s side through life’s most important moments—a first date with a soulmate, an interview for a dream job, the party of the year—while being stylish, iconic, and timeless. The Gucci Beloved collection, as its name suggests, is the perfect embodiment of that. Designed by creative director Alessandro Michele, the collection reimagines classic handbags of the House through the years by blending contemporary elements with emblematic motifs and styles to create pieces that transcend seasons and trends. The style of this collection of bags resonates with fashionable mother-and-daughter pair Nina and Chloe Ng, so much that they enthusiastically and readily agreed to this video collaboration with Tatler Singapore.

Referencing rubies, sapphires and emeralds, the bags from the Beloved collection are available in stunning jewel tones, with bi- and tri-coloured styles to choose from. For those seeking something even more special, the bags are also available in precious skins such as crocodile, ostrich and python leather. 

The Gucci Horsebit 1955

A callback to Gucci’s rich equestrian history, the Gucci Horsebit 1955 is easily distinguishable by its double ring and bar. Seen here in an eye-catching brilliant green with a dark green trim, this mini top-handle version is perfect for any day out.

The Jackie 1961

The Jackie 1961 is iconic for its half-moon shape and piston closure. A symbol of timeless elegance, this handbag is well and truly a Beloved icon. For those seeking that je nais se quoi, the Jackie in luxurious white ostrich will complete your signature look.

 

The Dionysus

Debuting in Michele’s inaugural women’s fall 2015 show for Gucci, the Dionysus is very much the heart of the Beloved collection. Inspired by the Greek god who is said to have crossed the river Tigris on a tiger sent to him by Zeus, the Dionysus with its iconic double-tiger-headed, spur-shaped closure embodies Michele's vision of products that are uniquely expressive of their time. For the fashion-forward, go for the classic shoulder bag in white leather accentuated with a python trim.

 

The GG Marmont

With its iconic Double G, an archive-inspired styling of the initials of the House, the GG Marmont is instantly recognisable. Now elevated with a three-dimensional iteration of its hardware, the Marmont is also available in a twisted torchon version.

In the gallery below, we pick out the Beloved bags in various styles and colours that we cannot wait to lay our hands on
