Hey. So, this may not be all that welcome here, but I'm not really into big leather purses. At all. Not that I have anything against people who are, which is probably everyone else here, and I hope you all find things that make you really happy, but it's just not my taste.

My boyfriend got me a great big Gustto purse for my birthday a couple weeks ago. It's a dark brown leather and gold satchel bag. I really don't like it. Soon after, I bit the bullet and told him about not liking it, but he says he can't return it - he bought it directly from a friend who imports bags and got some kind of deal. So I'm trying to decide what to do next.

I'd never heard of the Gustto label before, and have no idea how much he spent or how much the bag is worth. If it is valuable, I'll probably try to sell it and then use the proceeds to do nice things for my boyfriend to assuage gift-rejection guilt.

If it's less expensive, I'll probably hang onto it, and give it out as a gift the next time one of my more purse-loving friends has a birthday.

So, what the deal with Gustto?

Well if he bought it from someone who imports bags you might want to make sure it is authentic first.

I hadn't really thought about that part. Looking the bags up on Google, nothing seems to match the one I have; I'll have to ask my boyfriend about it.
