Gucci's summer release solidifies it's not afraid of pushing the limits to impress the fashion-forward consumer, and those looking for a more audacious accessory should turn to the brand's latest bag, which puts an out-there twist on the designer's staple piece.

This bag arrives in a cylindrical shape but still sports the same matte quilt leather Gucci is known for. This design makes more of a statement, but still offers the practicality of a fairly spacious purse. What makes the bag standout the most is its golden straps, which serve as a chain-like alternative and offer a bulky yet stylish look that's reminiscent of the layered gold jewelry that's been popular in fashion and design.
