The new (but old) Diana bag
- Thread starter snibor
- Start date
I just went to the store and did some quality tests with the different mini bags. It seems like it varies between each individual bag! I looked at 3 different colors. The bamboo handles on the pink bag seemed to flop down soo easily! They almost had to be forcefully rested in the right position to stay up. But the other 2 bags stayed up perfectly when placed down. Also no problem with the handles falling down while being worn crossbody. The SA said since it is handcrafted, it is something that varies with each bag. Seems like a flaw in QC. So I would definitely look at a couple of bags and test out the handles first. Hope this helps
BTW, they just released a new color for the line: beige! It was BEAUTIFUL. I originally went in to see other colors but the beige sold be immediately.
What color are the handle straps??

I love the beige color you picked out!! I almost bought that color but then I realized it would compete with my Bulgari bag. I ended up getting the black bag in small. My handles seem to be behaving themselves. I don’t like the neon yellow straps so I’m not wearing them on the handles. The hunter green straps look great on your bag. Will you use them? Thanks again for all your help.
Of course! Thank you! You can never go wrong with the classic black. Glad you got a good bag with stable handles! The fact that the straps were hunter green vs. neon was one of my favorite parts of the bag--it matches the beige so well and its nice and understated. I will probably use them when I'm wearing a more casual outfit and take them off when I'm going for a more "dressy" look
The straps definitely change the look of the bag!I absolutely love this new shade! I have the medium black and my handles are floppy but I love the bag just the same, I haven’t had any issues with denting and I tie the handles up when not in use. I ordered pink straps for mine and had my name customized onto them. I’ve been generally very happy with this bag. I do want to purchase a small though as my medium can sometimes feel too large on casual days.Of course! Thank you! You can never go wrong with the classic black.

I’m very happy with my black bag in small. It is so lightweight. I think the pink straps will look great with your bag. You’ll look chic but cool. Enjoy.
Wow, late to the party, but I really love this! Was this a limited edition version and does anyone know the name of this particular Diana? I'm partial to vintage Gucci Diana but this is one is incredible.
I’m no expert but I think it was for the Chinese Year of the Tiger (?).
Thank you for your input @Cool Breeze. Perhaps I'll call my local boutique and see if they can identify the name for me. I can't seem to find it on any of the Canada/U.S. Gucci websites though I know it's from awhile ago and may have just been a runway piece and so not widely available.
Hi! No they don’t. I think this bag is prone to do that. It’s a bit annoying.
Just accepted delivery of the small Diana. Gorgeous bag, but I’m not as happy as I thought I’d be. I think it may be one of the many bags I love on other people.
