Can't let GD do all the bamboo mod shots
Here's me with my N-S Bamboo Shopper (almost 20 years old now, mother to daughter, and still going STRONG)
very cute, and explanation is HILARIOUS!!
O-M-G...did u go home with all of these?! LOVELY!!
They are all gorgeous but if you're trying to decide ... the first one gets my vote
Did you take one home?
Hello everyone,
I adore this bag:
http://www-m.gucci.com/us/styles/368823A7M0G1000
1. Do the bamboo handles wear away at the leather when the bag is worn crossbody? Will I have to worry about damaging the bag because of the handles? Do they leave indentations in the leather when folded down?
2. Do you think this bag will go on sale again? When is the best time to buy one?
Sorry for all of the questions, but this would be my first Gucci bag.

Immigratty,Gucci Python Lady Lock Bamboo Top Handle bag...
This handbag is stunning. I had seen some in the stores but not in this color - you certainly did make a great choice!
Fpiccione,
These are all great colors you are showing. I did get a Medium Cherry colored BTH for my mom during this last sale but I cannot post it yet as it is still at the store. I will be picking it up when I get to Hawaii in Sept and will post photos then.
This color apparently only made it to a few stores. Most are purple or brownish. When we looked on the ipad the sa had, it was only in nyc, Las vegas, and LA I believe. Very few places. And thanx
Hi Ladies.
I'm thinking about buying a bamboo shopper tote, maybe in red or black, but I would have LOVED to get the blue from a year or so ago!
I've seen some posts about them sagging with wear, can anyone let me know if this is the case all the time, and whether this wear looks great or bad?
Thanks so much for your help!

I have a couple vintage ones, not sure of a site though. I actually LOVE vintage BTH
I own the Medium tote, carried it very rarely, and did NOT overfill it (like with a laptop or anything else heavy). And yet the leather sagged. I was NOT happy, because I don't think it's a good look. I don't mind certain bags sagging, like my Balenciaga Town and City bags, because they're supposed to. But IMO, the tote only looked good when it was brand new and crisp-looking.
I did try "stiffening" it with a bag liner, but it didn't work. I'm seriously considering selling it, even though I'll lose $$$ on the deal, because I find that I just don't carry it any more.
Just one person's opinion, but I hope you find it useful.
Out and about with my Cream Gucci Bamboo Top Handle [single handle]
This bag is so, so Gucci. Laid back, elegant, with a little bit of that Italian 'something'
