Everyday Exotic

Ahh, January—a moment to escape to exotic locales where donning your new resort wear and soaking up the sun take first priority. Can’t get away? No need to fret, as today’s safari-inspired Gucci pick saves the trip and brings the vacay home to you.

The Marrakech Messenger Bag meets all requirements for our ideal handbag—animal print exterior, wear-with-everything neutral hues, inner compartments galore and a bevy of subtle details. The gorgeous leather zebra motif offers a fresh departure from the standard leopard print, while still remaining relevant for everyday wear. Look safari-chic without making the trek by teaming this carrier with bright pants, a crisp blouse and flat sandals. You may not be on vacation, but you’ll certainly look the part—and that’s half the fun, right?
