There’s nothing like an orange bag to stand out from the endless sea of black evening bags out there. It’s even better when the bag itself has a unique design.

The Gucci Snaffle Bit Evening bag is likely to catch your eye on first glance, because it doesn’t look like your typical evening bag. It’s all in the details. You can say that about pretty much any bag, but for this one it’s truer than for most. Who can resist the gold detailing on the seams or the careful weaving around the flap and buckle, thick strands of leather threaded perfectly by hand around the eye-catching golden buckle? And don’t forget the subtle diamond etching on the flap.

It’s always a joy to find a bag that is so obviously handmade. When you hold it, you know you’re holding something that was very carefully and purposefully created, each detail and stitch meant to come together perfectly so you can enjoy it.

One functional detail to love—the wider shape leaves more room for those longer trifold wallets (which are sometimes a struggle to fit in squarer, compact purses). It’s still an evening bag, to be sure, but there’s enough room for when you need more than just your ID and lipstick.

The bag also comes in black, so if you’re a stickler for the classic, go for the dark. But don’t be afraid of orange. It’s a bright pop of color that is a necessary autumn shade, though it’s likely you’ll be using it no matter what time of year it is.
