Ok. Here are the 2 I ordered in medium size, brown and black. I am IMPRESSED with the quality, and that's saying a lot for me with Gucci these days. I quit buying, or tapered off at least, their leather goods b/c I didn't love the quality. These are back to the Gucci I used to know! Now, they are pretty heavy. Lined in leather, double sided leather on the flap, but I don't care, they are GORGEOUS!

I am 5'9" by the way. (The shoes I got are also the most comfortable I've tried on in a very long time btw)

Thank you @papertiger :heart: are you getting one? I did get the canvas one today too. I. Just. Love. Them!!!

I love them too. I like a lot of bags you have and your taste and values. That you like them so much is a good indicator that they'll be good for me too.

Just (1 min ago) tried the Med black, tan and blue suede versions - plus the card case.

At first I thought the tan because I wasn't sure of the colour of the strap but then I tried with the leather (strap). I have a few spare Gucci canvas straps from other bags, plus I can use the issued one with other black bags.

I'll post more mod pics later for everyone's feedback.

Readng this thread is making me interested in this bag more and more!

I love the simple design and the clean lines of the blondie, and thanks for the "live" reporting by @papertiger

Wondering if the D rings do stay up all the time or they can be folded down/flat (sorry for the bad english) when the strap is detached? If they can be folded down it may give the option for the medium size to be used as a situational clutch

I have just been waiting for Gucci to sort of resurface with some things that fit my lifestyle a little better AND have the quality that made me fall in love with them SO long ago! I am moving out of some of the other "higher" brand tiers b/c they exhaust me & I just miss good ole fashioned shopping with SA that are delighted to sell to us!

So, the saddle brown is so quintessentially Gucci. If I had to jump on just one, that would be it.

Funny story. My husband doesn't much care for anything I do really, it's all stupid to him (makes sense completely). BUT, he did REALLY like a Gucci I bought back in 2015. I sold it when I moved into more of the Chanel/ Hermes tiers. I always regretted selling it, and it was one of the ones he actually liked, for once. When I got these, I said, hey remember this? And he said I DO! That was my favorite one you ever got! Rummaging through pics to attach here...so, a little catharsis for me :)

Med would be too big for a clutch IMO. Even the mini is deep. Not sure if the chain comes off the Smal (didn't look) l but that's more a clutch shape. It may be possible to tuck the chain in(?)

Aw, bless. I have the Lady Web in dark red suede. Need to use it more too

I think I may leave the card holder. Love the look but it seriously will only hold a card.
