Suede and wood in a strong, sculptural silhouette — this early 2000s Gucci tote is from the Tom Ford era, known for its bold shapes and tactile materials. The warm tan suede has a natural gradient effect, shifting from lighter to deeper tones (part of the original design, not wear). Smooth round wooden handles with a darkened two-tone finish anchor the top, and oversized grommets and visible stitching keep the construction graphic but minimal. The branding is subtle, just a small leather tag on the front.
Styling tip: This one’s great with soft tailoring, vintage denim or crisp cotton — the textures do all the work.
Era: Early 2000s (likely 2002-2003) Material: Suede body, wood handles, metal hardware Color: Warm tan with natural gradient Condition: Good vintage condition with minor signs of wear — a couple of faint pen marks on the side panel and a small mark inside (not visible when worn). The wooden handles feature an intentionally aged look as part of the design. Size: Approx. 34 × 27 × 23 cm Notes: Features inner zip pocket, subtle logo tag, and sculptural whipstitched side seams. Includes original Gucci dust bag and interior model ID tag
Why it made the cut: A rare and striking piece from the Tom Ford era at Gucci — the mix of rich suede, wood and bold shape feels modern and collectible.
