Hello all!

I am new to the Gucci game (I just have one Gucci piece, a Guccisima leather zip-around wallet that is my daily wallet and I love it!). I turn 30 in a few weeks and have been saving to treat myself to something new but am having trouble deciding.

Choice One: Princetown mules with the floral applique.
Things to note: I don't own any Gucci mules at all but have loved these for a couple years now (since they came out). My style is really casual and bohemian, so I'd probably wear these mostly with shorts/jeans and t-shirts. I might wear them to work from time to time but my office is pretty conservative & workmanlike. It's not very fashion-y, so I'd feel a little awkward wearing them to the office because they're pretty conspicuous. Thus, I'd really only wear them off duty, which I'm ok with.

Choice Two: the Marmont Camera Bag in Black (either small or mini size...leaning toward small)
Things to note: I already own a Chanel Wallet on a Chain (black lamb with silver HW) but have always loved the camera bag style. I haved loved the Soho Disco bag for years, but I'm too scared to get it in a lighter color and I think the Marmont is prettier in black than Disco. I'm not a red girl. Again, my style is pretty casual but I feel like this bag can be worn casual or dressy and would hold more than my WOC so I'd get a lot of use out of it.

What would you choose if you could only pick one?

If you want to be more practical....get the bag. If you LOVE the shoes, and don't want to let them get away (because those embroidered designs are seasonal)....get the shoes. I'd personally go with the shoes, as I think the Marmont camera bag isn't going anywhere and will be available later. I second @snibor in thinking they'd be so cute together! Gucci goals. :smile:
 
I vote the Marmont Small Bag. I own this bag and adore it. I love that it can be used casual or dressy and can also be carried on shoulder or crossbody. It is a nice size too, fits all my stuff and it is a light bag not heavy.
I love the way it looks in black with the gold hw.
You could always get the shoes at a later date. I feel you will get more use of the bag.
 
Both great choices. Can you get both? I adore my Princetown mules, seriously the most comfortable shoes and I love the look of them. My first pair of Princetown were the mules with the kangaroo fur, the very first season that you could buy them. My SA brought them in for me (at the time they were sold out everywhere) and I was unsure, I bought them anyway and they turned out to be such a good purchase. I took sneakers and my Princetown mules to Italy and the Princetowns were by far the most comfortable shoes, and we walked for miles. I bought a Marmont backpack in Italy and I really like it too. Get them both!

Tough choice as both are cute! For me, I would pick the bag as you can wear it more. It will fit more than your current CHANEL and u can wear it with the gold hardware side or the more subdued black gg logo on the other side. Perhaps u may get some birthday money / gift cards and able to get both!
