Gucci Aphrodite Shoulder Bag

[bagnut1]

Gorgeous! Is this red true to life? It seems so much darker, more muted on the Gucci site...

Reds are notoriously difficult to capture. I have always thought that my Rouge Casaque Kelly is the perfect "down the middle" red - not too cool, not too warm.

Here is the Aphrodite next to the Kelly - the Aphrodite is a deeper and bluer red to my eye. (Your mileage may vary.) Indoors, ambient sunlight.

Nevertheless, it's an utterly gorgeous red that no one in their right mind should have an issue with!

I love Rouge Casaque too, but you put the Aphrodite next to Rubis (darker and pinky-er) or Rouge Grenat (lighter, more muted and pinky-er) it's less 'pink' (or blue).

We all have a different mid-red but Gucci have a lipstick the same colour as the Aphrodite called Goldie Red (Gucci Red).

Yeah it's interesting how colors interact when placed next to each other. I also think you might have mentioned Rouge Vif along the way.... I don't have my Fjord Bolide anymore but in my mind's eye it would be very close to the Aphrodite.

That lipstick looks great and exactly the same red!

Unfortunately, the model is wearing a satin, the matte is closer (IMO).

Also just remembered my Rouge Piment watch strap:

NAP have the same shade (sorry to go on about it people who are not interested in the red)

The reason I'm so obsessed is because I would like a red to go with the bag so spent ages at Gucci Beauty



These models are supposed to be wearing satin but looks more matte

It's also AM's favourite colour red which is why it's 25 (his lucky number) NB not as orange-y as in the campaign https://www.gucci.com/uk/en_gb/st/stories/article-category-beauty/article/gucci-beauty-goldie-red-25

Mod pic of Med with longer strap as crossbody, for ref. average height woman wearing thick coat and jumper.

Taller women, even average men, I don't think you'll have any problems. The longer strap is pretty generous.

Shorter women, you may have to put an extra hole in the strap to make shorter where needed.

Edited to say: Everything H Evie 29 to Med Aphrodite fits perfectly.

Gorgeous!
