I Just Can’t Get Enough Of Gucci’s Kids Bags

I don’t know about you, but I have no qualms about shopping in the kids’ department. In high school, I worked at Abercrombie Kids and would often buy the largest-size tops from the girls’ department because they were cheaper (though my $7.25-an-hour wage still couldn’t afford them). I know friends who buy sneakers from the kids’ department as well, and I am quite envious because my size 9.5-foot could absolutely never.

However, it wasn’t until fairly recently that I considered shopping for bags in the kids’ department. I warmed up to the idea after reading a confessional submitted by one of our readers who happened to own a Gucci Kids GG Supreme Belt Bag. I thought it was genius.

Borrowed from the Kids

While most often you think of kids’ bags as being overly embellished or printed with characters (and I am not a Disney girl), Gucci’s line of bags for kids offers just the right amount of fun without looking tacky or silly. And while they are made for kids, many of them would make a fun novelty addition to the out-of-the-box collector like myself.

I haven’t perused Gucci’s selection in quite a while, but the other day, I was looking for a specific bag. A site search suggested one of the brand’s children’s backpacks, which then led me to look at the other offerings. From flowers and fruit to stars and stripes, there are quite a few options to consider. I even found myself doing a double take at the dog-print tote (can we get a collective awww?).

Have you ever borrowed from the kid’s department?
