Hi all
I’m new to Gucci—and have become very interested in the small Gucci marmont flap. It’s beautiful! I tried it on and I did feel the weight of the chain but it was ok. I’m wondering though after wearing it for a few hours if it feels heavier. What is your experience with the chain—too heavy or is it ok?
 
Hey guys, anyone here that has the Marmont Shoulder Bag in the size medium? I’m planning to get it but I always see people wearing either the small or mini but the medium seems perfect for me as I love carrying a lot of things. I’m just scared it might look funny on me as I’m 5 foot 3

If you mean the zip/camera style, I’ve tried finding it but don’t see it available in Saks, Neimans or others. Don’t know if Gucci still has it for sale. Looks really nice, although I think the small holds a lot more that it seems. It is not a “small” bag by any means. I would consider it a small-medium as I can fit my ipad mini in there, big makeup bag and glasses, plus a lot of other essentials.
For your frame maybe try the small first and see if the space is enough for you? That way it will be more versatile to wear day to night whereas the medium would be mostly a “day” bag.

I meant the flap bag. Do you have it?

Ok girls my early review for the bags I ordered is as follows:

The Marmont small camera bag in black is a definitely a stunning, classic, very versatile bag and although for some reason I wasn't sure about it before, I feel like this bag is a must have staple piece and a reasonably priced one, considering what other similar bags are going for. Even if I don't grab it all the time (I dress in black a lot so I tend to go for red or cognac colors for my bags to break the monotone), I think this might still be something I need to have in my collection. I will keep it for now and observe.

The Marmont mini chain bag in Porcelain Rose is an adorable clutch like chain bag. Really beautiful. Doesn't fit a lot but definitely more than the Super Mini. It has a built in wallet inside with many slots to put your cards, ID, etc. And a zippered pocket inside which is really nice. The best thing is the gorgeous chain; luxurious but lightweight and so elegant. This is a flat-style, clutch looking bag with a bit more space that most WOCs. Fits my iphone 6 plus, mini compact mirror, lipstick, keys, car key, pill case, and even my sunglasses in a cloth case if I take out a couple of things.
This is also a must have item for elegant events or just when you want to be extra minimal. I was debating whether to exchange it for another small camera bag but I'd rather get the Disco Soho in Rose Beige instead, which is a warmer, more neutral color and a more casual look and maybe keep this one too.
Now, I really want to add a Mini Camera bag in red. Oh dear! LOL! Keep you gals posted. Let me know what you think so far.

Have you had any issues with color transfer or the light colored leather getting dirty? I’m nervous about my Marmont dusty rose small flap bag!

None so fat but I also don’t wear dark denim much. I wear mostly lighter denim, trousers and dresses. But I think this leather is really durable and not prone to permanent marks. Scratches can be buffed out easily.
