Luxe Labels = Arm Candy

The logo-print waters can be tricky to navigate: "replica" bags reign supreme and even a hand-crafted Karl creation can start to look like a bit much. Problem solved with the unmistakable chic of a vintage signature print bag. We've always liked a logo that looks like it's been around the block a bit.

Very Vintage Gucci Tennis/Gym Bag

Unapologetically enormous with bold interlocking Gs and a fat red/blue stripe, this amazing Gucci tennis bag will have the stylish but sedentary reaching for a racket. Use it as a weekender or haul it to pilates - this glamorous duffle will add a dash of sportif to your accessories wardrobe.
* Needs a bit of sprucing-up (top zipper is detached and key to lock long-gone), nothing a good shoe/bag man can't tackle.

This coated canvas and leather satchel is of a subtler breed, with the palest beige interlocking Gs on the cream canvas and a quietly embossed monogram. Surprisingly roomy with an adjustable strap, lined in suede. Wear to the corners means it could also use some brand-aid (hardy-har).

'70s Gucci Accessory Collection Doctor's Bag

The Doctor's bag is a perennial fashion favorite, with the storage capacity of a hobo but a sleeker streamlined shape. This one features the smaller print seen in Gucci's late '70s accessory collection and has a detachable longer strap. The inside is peeling and cracking quite a bit, outside wear is moderate.
