Hello Gucci Lovers!

I have a question for all the Blondie owners and how you’re finding your Blondie bag (previously Disco Soho).

Are you still enjoying it? Would you recommend it or get something else now if given the chance?

I’m thinking abt this bag as an everyday bag, maybe also for travelling and wondering abt the wear and tear and and any pros and cons for the bag.

Is it comfy to wear on the shoulder? And how is the leather and tassel holding up? Do you find that it’s comfy to use?

I’m searched on YouTube and not many reviews on it, so hoping anyone that owns the bag can provide me with some insights.

Thanks so much!

I bought mine used and it’s divine. Leather is very soft . The bag is light and can hold a lot. Only downsides I saw are that the canvas interior can get dirty quickly , and the length of the strap might be too long. I bought a leather hole punch off of Amazon and was very happy with it!

I wear whatever I like and suits me: now I wear mostly women's or unisex perfumes but in the past a have worn Eau Sauvage by Dior (my DH wears it) and also Acqua di Parma. I think the gender specification is just a publicity thing, but people wear whatever suits them.

Obviously...no. There are extremes in PS that are frankly insane--common sense must play a role.

I have seen the current Voyou in Nordstrom and there is no noticeable grain, it's definitely not pebbled. There is a slight sheen to the finish too. It's a nice bag, feels almost more Balenciaga to me than Givenchy.

With Far-fetch, it would be easily returnable if you decided to purchase. 24s had some marked down as well.

It is two snaps. It’s fairly easily to close, especially when you are used to Birkins and Kelly’s. You just have to be sure the snap pieces are lined up.

Thank you 🙂.

You should get a black 35 birkin. Try secondhand market. It doesn't need to be in new condition, after all you intend to really use it. 35s are not very popular right now as everyone is into small bags. So you might get a very good deal.

Very sad news -she was an amazing lady - I especially admire her strength in standing by RFK and smiling bravely when Jackie got her claws into him after JFKs death - a true lady may shy RIP

That's a beautiful piece!

To your question, I'm thinking 60s-70's

Thank you; it was my father in law's.

I am just in love with the Noeud ring it is truly special to me. But more significant and I don't wear it every day. The VA WG magic ring is not as big and crying "look-at-me" than I thought it would. I saw someone wearing the magic earrings and I thought "wahou too much bling!" But maybe I got used to bling or I don't know but the ring is ok for days I go to formations or reunions ...it is still flat on the top and doesn't get caught to anything so practical and easy to mix with anything you wear

thanks for sharing your thoughts on the two rings. :heart:

I have considered to add one more ring to my wishlist, but struggled on which one to add. Noeud or MA Alhambra YG (will be SO), I guess I still cannot decide for the same reason you explained. I love the look of Noeud but not able to wear it often. but I am not in a rush.

Not sure if this is the case where you are, but with winter coming on in the northern hemisphere, I've sure noticed my rings are looser. Hoping you find it!

To add to this with winter coming, make sure to be careful when you remove your winter gloves at work, store, etc… in case the ring gets stuck in glove but falls out while storing them in purse/ car etc.

Loving the teddy sherling flap from 24k. I typically opt for conservative and practical classics that will last so it's hard to take the plunge into something that seems more trendy. My sister has one on hold for me at the Chanel in our home country so I would be able to get VAT refund as well...

Hi! Does someone know if I can find some pictures in the forum of the medium black shearling one? Didn’t see anyone wearing it so far.

Wore my olive one out yesterday. The SA in the BV boutique complimented the bag and asked what it was.

The Clementines are one of my most complimented bag styles.

If anyone is interested, they have the burgundy back on pre-order.

I do think the work is incredibly detailed and looks like tiny feathers, I suppose for the huge price point i thought it would be gems not glass mosaic.

Thanks! Looks like everyone beat me to the link! Sold out!

Prices in Aruba were more expensive than the US prices when we were there in January.

Such a lush campaign and a gorgeous store!

I would recommend seeking third party authentication.

Closing this thread since we don't do authentication outside of the designated threads - and we have none for bags at present.

Exactly same situation... Sadly didn't know of VCA at this period. Also one SA at my boutique has 2 big and so marvelous butterfly (a bit like the BTF ring they have actually but in gold and with bigger diamonds, so must be a High jewellery piece)

I am not very imaginative…I would love a big colourful ring. Like bird of paradise ring with colourful stones. I am sad I figured out I love rings after that line was discontinued.

My SA just confirmed Cartier can rhodium plate for $190. Rhodium plating looks brighter and whiter than non-plated.

I don't have so much experience with Nailberry, but I suppose it is more sensitive to the brand and quality( new/old) of the top coat than Manucurist and Gitti
