Hi guys! I am looking to buy the small camera bag in nude/beige from mytheresa website...I have seen so many mixed reviews of the quality and would love to hear from the owners regarding your experience. Has it held up well?
I want to wear it to work daily -
Also a bit concerned of it looking too flashy...no one around me wears any logos or designer bags but I just love the color and am trying to not care about anyone else :p
Thanks for your responses in advance!!

Thank you!! I have scoured that thread and loved seeing all the pics but not much info on wear/tear after a while of wearing it. Would love to have some info on that :smile:

I have to say I like the camera style, perhaps because I like my vintage Chanel Tassel bag and my Soho Disco which are both similar. I can't speak from experience of owning one but I almost bought one when they first came out (the black and white with pink satin lining) but I don't think they're too flashy at all, especially in the grown-up colour you're considering.

You will have to take a little more care because of the colour (my Gucci BTH Bold is a similar colour). Personally this wouldn't be my everyday choice but I do believe in people enjoying and using their bags to the max.

I have the larger Gucci Ghost camera bag, and it's one of my favorites! The leather has held up very well, and it's a really functional bag, as well as being interesting. I don't baby my Gucci Marmonts (I own several pieces from the Marmont line), and they've all done well in terms of wear/tear. I don't set them on a concrete patio floor at a restaurant, but neither do I specially set them on a dustbag or anything like that. I'd probably spray with Collonil Carbon Pro--because of the lighter color, you'll have to be a little more careful, but that's true of any brand's lighter colored bags. I think the GG of the Marmont is a new classic, and not flashy at all. Good luck deciding! BTW, I've ordered Gucci bags from mytheresa. com, and it was a premium experience all the way. Love the packaging and obvious care put into the presentation!!

I have the mini camera bag in nude - I've had it for just over a year now. I use it maybe once a month, and it's held up quite well. Some slight creasing at the back where it rubs on my jeans, no colour transfer even if I wear black jeans all the time ( I spray it with Collonil spray once every few wears). There's no sagging that I can speak of, still looks great
