Gucci purses are available in a variety of sizes and shapes. They come in small or larger sizes, are constructed of leather, canvas, or suede, and include zippered compartments, metal locks, or magnetic snap closures. Some feature leather straps that can be adjusted. Others have a single, fixed strap length. The main materials used to construct a Gucci handbag are leather and fabric. Leather is the most durable option; it will only get better with time and use. While many manufacturers use leather, it is actually one of several options available to them. With so many choices available, it's easy for them to find something they like. However, only genuine leather items will last years under ordinary circumstances. Leather comes in many different types of textures and colors. It can be very plain, or it can have some sort of design embossed into it. The more textured the leather is, the more expensive it will be. Smooth leather is usually less than $20 for a purse that fits within their luxury line. More expensive bags are made from select types of leather, such as crocodile skin or python skin. These types of bags are often more than $100. Cotton is another common material used in handbags. Like leather, cotton is an affordable option that comes in many different types of fabrics. Some examples are basket weave, twill, and denim.
