Hello from New Zealand.
Im asking the wonderful members of this forum for advice on my first Gucci.
Im trying to add new brands to my small handbag collection.
Currently Im collecting and rehabbing Vintage Coach and having fun doing that.
Other than a preloved Mulberry Mitzy and the Coach , most of my bags are lower end and no name brands.
Im wondering if you all could give me an opinion on an entry level Gucci bag. I will be buying preloved and my budget is not huge, about $300 to $400 NZ dollars so I know that what I get is not going to be in fab condition and will show much wear. Thinking vintage might be the way to go.
I had thought about the Jackie but tried my thrifted Jasper Conran horsebit hobo which is a similar style and know that it wont work for me. The Amalfi took my fancy but its like the Jackie and the Jasper Conran.
A tote style is another I was looking at or even a shoulderbag. Would love something with a bamboo accent but I know that might increase the cost.
My problem is also we only have Gucci in Auckland and its an 8hr drive or 1hr flight to shop there so trying to see what the feel and weight of a bag is difficult.
I am just completely ignorant of the quality of the brand .
So I would love to see you reviews on a bag style you think would work. Either you have a picture and can tell me what you can fit in the bag or how comfortable it is to wear I would greatly appreciate it.
I am also aware that this might be a slippery slope as it was with Coach.
I thank you from the bottom of the world.
