Here's a bag that I ordered and received in July and sent back. The saga: my last name repeats the sound 'Bee' so we always have funny littlle bee references, e.g. we were the 'beehive' before that famous singer's fans adopted the name. But I've never bought stuff that had bees on it and I don't particularly relate to bees. So when Gucci came out with this particular bee bag I thought I would go for it just once. I did my typical thing of hesitating until I couldn't get the bag anymore (cruise collections disappear fast) and actually I wanted it in red but it is gone from the face of the earth. I was able to get one in brown sent from a boutique in Kentucky. When it arrived I was underwhelmed. The embroidered bee was very nice but the rest of the bag was quite unimpressive, imo, including the leather, so back it went. Here's my almost bee bag and my almost 2nd Gucci:

Aren't there more bee items with Gucci right now? Maybe those will be better?
