Handle Drop: 6.25" Height: 13" Width: 11.25" Depth: 4" Notes from the Curator This black nylon tote with leather trim exemplifies the confident aesthetic that Tom Ford brought to Gucci in the 1990s and early 2000s, a period when the house began using nylon and other synthetic materials alongside its traditional leather. Gucci's nylon, made to measure for the house's dedicated nylon bag lines, balances texture with a satin-like sheen while remaining relatively light—a technical choice that allowed the Florentine maison to expand its reach into travel-ready styles without abandoning its leather-trimming codes. The silver-tone hardware and jacquard lining visible in the interior speak to Gucci's consistent use of tight, even stitching and solid brass or high-quality plated metal hardware that feels heavy and substantial, hallmarks that run through the house's output across eras. Nylon became a canvas for minimalist silhouettes during the late 1990s, and this tote's clean lines reflect that streamlined sensibility.
