I have never fallen for a bag so quickly and so hard. I have seen so many girls on Instagram wearing the Gucci Ophidia bag and looking utterly divine with it, I've never clicked buy so fast. Plus, I am a sucker for a designer bag under £1000 which is a rarity nowadays. Introducing the Gucci Ophidia Small Bag is like so many Gucci bags, another icon - featuring a classic design yet modern aesthetics. You may also see it called the Small Ophidia Shoulder Bag.
What is the design of the Gucci Ophidia Small Bag and what is it made from?
This Gucci Ophidia bag is made from the iconic GG Supreme coated canvas, a signature Gucci pattern, combined with beautiful textured leather accents. It's funny, about ten years ago everyone went off Gucci, no one wanted the Gucci logo and now, it's back and everyone wants to see the iconic Gucci print. The double G polished gold tone hardware and web moniker material pattern add that distinctive GG touch which makes it stand out and be instantly noticeable as a Gucci creation. It comes in two shades - beige and ebony which is a slightly darker colour (and the one I chose) and beige and white. It has a lovely soft shape to it. I worried the canvas would get ruined but it's got a coating over it so it is protected thank goodness.
How big is the Gucci Ophidia Small Handbag?
I'm sure you have questions about the Gucci Ophidia Small Handbag. The name itself gives it away and 'small' is definitely described accurately. It is small, but not too small that it compromises being practical. The dimensions are W25cm X H15cm X D6. 5cm. The Ophidia small handbag in my opinion strikes the perfect balance by giving enough space for all my essentials but without being bulky and cumbersome.
Whether I'm at a daytime lunch or an evening event this bag gives me enough space to fit my cards, my phone, my keys and a couple of items of make up in and other bits and pieces too. While I cannot deny that I adore the Ophidia Mini Handbag and the Ophidia GG Mini Bag I have to be honest with myself and say that for me they do not have enough carrying space for me personally (though goodness, they both look adorable). I'm sure you are wondering, does the Gucci Ophidia bag fit an iphone? It does!
Does the Gucci Ophidia Small Handbag come in any different designs?
The Gucci Ophidia bag comes in a few different designs: you can also buy it with a top gold-tone slightly longer (by 1 cm) handle in different shades and textures. This one also comes with a 50cm canvas shoulder strap too. There is an Ophidia small sequin handbag version or the standard handbag just like mine only with the gold-tone strap and shoulder strap option like this Ophidia Small Handbag.
What is the inside of the Gucci Ophidia Small Handbag like?
If you're wondering what the inside of the Gucci Ophidia bag is like, one small thing I'd highlight about the Gucci Ophidia bag is that it is a sort of white linen inside which means the interior can mark easily. I get over that by keeping a lightweight bag inside it for my make up bits and pieces so it is easy to overcome. I believe though that the latest season version is slightly darker inside making it more serviceable. Apart from that, the bag is surprisingly thoughtful in its interior organisation. It has multiple compartments and pockets to give dedicated space for every items and this keeps it nice and clutter free. I like a handbag with pockets.
What can I wear the Gucci Ophidia Small Handbag with?
If you're wondering how to style the Gucci Ophidia bag, then neutral is key. This bag is chic and super versatile. Wear it paired with casual jeans / trousers and a tee or use it dressed up in a sophisticated evening dress. It stands out on its own and easily elevates any outfit because of its neutral tones and classic design.
What sort of handle does the Gucci Ophidia Small Handbag have?
The handle is made from leather and is adjustable to a 19cm drop. I carry mine in 2 different ways : either over the shoulder or over my arm when I have shortened the handle.

How does the Gucci Ophidia Small Handbag close?
It closes with a top zip fastening and my zip feels very robust and is easy to open and close.

How should I care for my Gucci Ophidia Bag?
Its always a good idea to store your designer handbags in their dust bags. Avoiding too much exposure to sunlight or moisture are also amongst the tips given for prolonging its life. As the interior is white, I do tend to use a small bag with any make up in to avoid spillages.
How much is the Gucci Ophidia Bag?
Another reason for me loving this little beauty is that it is a designer accessory at under £1000. It retails at £975 and taking in to account the fact that is is Gucci, it is a good size and it is super well made, I think this is a good buy. I think finding a designer bag under £1000 is quite difficult now as we see with price increases, this bag will go up in price.
The version with a gold-tone handle and detachable shoulder strap starts at £1410.00.
I hope you enjoyed this journey in to the world of the Gucci Ophidia Small handbag. I absolutely adore mine and feel that it's more than a fashion statement - it's like carrying a touch of Italian flair, a splash of luxury and a hint of Gucciness that allows me to strut with confidence when it's over my shoulder. to conclude, I really think the Gucci Ophidia style of handbag is my new favourite collection from Gucci: they're chic, timeless, iconic but also so easy to wear and to dress up and down.
