Hello! I just bought a Marmont mini cam bag in black. This is my first Gucci so I need some info as I am freaking out if I should send it back or not. I am very used to having Givenchys and they all come with the leather square swatch, so when I looked through my care card, I couldn't find the swatch! I'm kinda freaking out here. Can anyone please tell me if the minis have swatches? Thank you!

They all do. Even canvas bags come with a swatch of canvas.

So what does this mean? I bought it from the store so it can't be fake. Do you have the Mini Camera bag? I was looking through some of them on sale on sites and there doesn't seem to be a leather swatch on the inclusions either.
Can anyone who has the bag chime in?

I’m sure it’s not fake, but it probably was just not included. I have a small Marmont camera bag (which came with a red swatch) and a Dionysus (that has a canvas one). When I’ve checked out bags in Gucci I’ve seen the display bags that would have the swatch and some didn’t. You can probably go back to the store and see if you can have one.

I purchased the marmont camera bag from a Gucci store and didn’t receive a leather swatch. I actually had to replace my bag twice because the first two I received were damaged but if I remember correctly I think the second bag I got had a swatch but the first and third didn’t. I was concerned at first also when I didn’t get one but I don’t think it’s really necessary so there’s no need to worry!

Thank you so much! Boy, do I feel relieved! What happened to your camera bag? What was the damage?

Thank you for all your help!

The first wasn’t exactly damaged, but looked like it had been used. There was what seemed like dirt all over the inside of it when I first opened it. The second bag had a white spot on it, the GG was scratched and the leather was chipped at the end of the zipper strap. Luckily the third was perfect!
