After Alessandro Michele stepped down as Gucci’s creative director in 2022, and brought loud, eye-catching designs to the Italian fashion house, we were interested to see what pieces Sabato De Sarno would craft. The collection, entitled Ancora, (Italian for “Again”) felt like a subtle change from the collections of Michele, shepherding in a new vision for Gucci. The use of logos, casual pieces, interesting textures and bright, happy colors seemed to dominate the runway collection, as well as large, statement jewelry. We also caught some new bags we hadn’t seen before — dare we say, some of the best Gucci bags we’ve seen to date.

As of today, you can now shop his debut collection of designer handbags on Gucci.com, which includes Gucci’s newest color: Gucci Rosso, a beautiful oxblood. Subtler than other brands’ takes on signature colors, it feels in-line with the heritage of the brand and an ode to all-things Italian. We’ve been seeing different iterations of red on the runway, and on the heels Valentine’s Day, we’re still feeling that rush of all things love.
Buzz for the new collection has been palpable; the New York Wooster boutique store opening on February 10 brought out notable celebs like Jessica Chastain, Elliott Page, and Apatow sisters Maude and Iris. We saw them carrying some of the new and notable mini bags and shoulder bags from De Sarno’s debut runway collection, which made us curious when we, too, could shop the collection.
Below, we’ve highlighted the best new Gucci handbags we’re sure to see on the fashionable arms of both fashion insiders, celebs, and influencers alike during Milan fashion week. Order today, and your bag will come in exclusive Rosso Ancora packaging to mark the beginning of Gucci’s new creative chapter.
