Not even the best work bags could accompany Rihanna on a November 13 errand to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health Vital Records office. When the singer needed to make a Thursday morning visit, she checked it off her To-Do List with a major Gucci bag as her commute companion.
Instead of a laptop-friendly Coach bag or a capacious leather tote, Rihanna styled her oversize suit with Gucci's Maxi Horsebit bag: an east-west, hybrid clutch style re-released during Sabato de Sarno's tenure at the house. The extra-oversize horsebit hardware and baguette shape are nods to an early aughts design by Tom Ford—which itself was an homage to a 1970s Gucci style. Long story short, it's not the sort of work bag a local government office's dress code typically accounts for.
