Ahhh resort, they call it a vacation line, but I call it gearing up for Spring. Resort collections are for early Spring buyers or those excited by “lighter” designs, anxious to go on to the next round of bag buying and of course, those making wish lists. Resort collection time is also the time to plan what to buy oneself after we once again have self-spending-money come January. I’m getting a Paddington and sometime later definitely a Marc Jacobs.

But anyway, what excites me in resort is the scarf tote, done best by Gucci. This season the company offers many bags in the general style, so be sure to check them all out, but perhaps most notable is the “Positano” medium tote.

Actually far from medium, it’s 15.6″L x 5.1″W x 12.2″H! With a high-quality straw body and a gold chain link printed silk scarf woven through slots at the tote’s top. Add in platinum-colored metallic leather trim and as always, Gucci’s light gold hardware.

This ray of sunshine (in a winter so unseasonably not lacking of the sun) runs down at $1,350.
