Ohhh blue lizard sounds amazing :love:. But no worries, no fight needed haha, I am completely banned for the rest of the year so that blue lizard would be yours :angel::p.
I am not banned without a reason because I am proud to announce that I am finally in the BTH club too ( you might want to check your email when you have time, you got mail) :D.
Seriously, these bags are amazing, can't stop looking at mine. Love all the details on it and of course the tassels....I definitely wanted a BTH with tassels before they are all gone. Mission completed :graucho:.

I read my mail! :yahoo: Answering in more detail when home.

Bring out the trumpets and the dancing girls, I think you scored the jackpot!

I won't say anymore, coz I think we need a full scale, mega, proper Gucci REVEAL :graucho: :woohoo:

Lol, so you think I made a good choice :p? Just kidding, I really like this bag and I am pleasantly surprised with all the details. The mirror is quite heavy though, but it's so cool that it comes with this bag. Matching mirror :D.

I will make several pics next week when I have a bit more time.
Reading through all the pages of this thread right now and saving all the pictures of BTH's that I like. And that are quite a few. I am doing this because SA told me they might expect more BTH stock in the future and he asked if I would be interested in another one.
My bank account is not interested, but I am :laugh:.
For example, I really love the red diamante, the 1921 Firenze versions (especially green and burgundy, the special black one with covered leather handle and the grey version that lanit has. Of course all BTH are absolutely fabulous and the details are truly amazing. But if one of the BTH's that I just mentioned becomes available, I am not sure if I can resist.
I hope they won't get any interesting BTH for me before the year is over, or else I am going to be in deep deep trouble :shame:.
Well I blame it on Gucci....what else can I do if they decide to stop making the BTH with tassels? Then I have no choice...must get before they are all gone :hnsnsn:.

I like the tassels too, and the closer contact with the body of the bag. I am also thinking to get another before they are all gone but we shall see - I need no encouragement.

In the thread you will see examples of all the styles you mentioned:

I adore the 1921 Firenze too, I wouldn't mind any of the colours tbh. Hand-stained leather and very classic looking, in all the colours of the Italian flag.

GhstDreamer has the diamonte print, it's very, very special.

The variation with the leather covered handle is called the Bold (I have it in cream, great for special occasions and evening, which is what I wanted from a med size).

Read this thread and wait to see what comes in :yes:

FYI on your new ostrich:

Don't spray with anything. Ostrich doesn't care about rain or water it just hates grease. Once you use it a lot the very matte ostrich will acquire a subtle sheen, these should look uniform all over. Mind your hands with hand lotion, take away food, snacks etc, One of the beauties of the BTH (apart from the Bold) is that the bamboo handles are very easy to maintain and keep clean, just store wearing the plastic brace it should come with.
 
I took this shot especially for my mother and put the bag there to keep an eye on it and then crop out later. When I saw the pic I thought, it's perfect for our Club:

and here is another, a Picasso a Gucci and a Papertiger :D

ModpicasoDrNO_zpsa1pxxypo.jpg


I am wearing the tassel but it's flipped to the back

BTW, I love this painting, and if I had a spare 350-ishK in my BTH at that moment it could have been mine. Maybe if I didn't keep spending on Gucci :whistle:

Thank you for all the information, dear :hugs:.

It's a long time ago since I have been so excited about a bag. But the craftmanship is simply amazing. So many beautiful details. Must admit, bad timing to get another one (even this one), since I am supposed to be good, waiting until my H. SO comes in.
So I am doing some closet cleaning and get rid of a few items, I need some closet space anyway :p.

Your Bold BTH is stunning, the handle is out of this world. Love love love it. I would love it in the black version (because I am too clumsy for the cream version haha). And I finally saw a pic of that beautiful lizard with red suede lining too :love:.
I love how every bamboo handle looks different, each handle has it's own character.
I am glad to hear that ostrich can handle a few drops of rain and that they won't leave marks on the bag.
I know Gucci still cleans suede bags, but any idea if they take in ostrich for cleaning too if needed? What about hot weather? Do I have to worry about fading if I carry it in full sunlight?
Yes, the plastic brace is still on it - my SA recommended to leave it on while storing it :yes:.

I would love another BTH, one that I can use more like an every day bag.
And I still would love a croc, but I can only dream about that for now :p.
I promise I will do a reveal of my new BTH when I have more time, because then I can make pictures with matching shawls too. It looks so pretty with my black H. Peuple du Vent shawl for example.
I already caught myself for admiring my new BTH several times this weekend.
It just makes me smile. I feel a Gucci BTH addiction is coming up, as if I need another addiction :laugh:.

Oh wow, this is stunning! Beautiful pictures and painting too :heart:.
Is that the grey BTH you have or is this a new one? Because I see slight blue undertones (a bit like H. Blue Orage) which I totally love :nuts: .

I'm sure Gucci can clean ostrich but there is not much they can do for grease (just like at H). Keep away from direct sunlight but the coral will be fine. The colours that are the most unstable on ostrich are usually the bright jewel tones like electric blue or bright red

Can't remember Bold in black (perhaps it exists) but it def does in 'Aviation' (said with an Italian accent add an 'o' to the end :p) blue'. Same colour but different leather to my BTH below. Like an airforce uniform

I didn't like the stock prints of the Bolds when I saw them, IRL it's about a million times as nice. One of my SAs also bought the Bold, she had to pay full retail because (at that time, and not so long ago) BTH were never on sale as you know and SMs only get a certain allowance.

Oh wow, this is stunning! Beautiful pictures and painting too :heart:.

Exactly like Bleu Orage. Perhaps slightly greyer and darker in this grained leather, the Bold I was speaking of above is even closer in colour if memory serves me correctly. :tup:

Thank you once again :smooch:!

Oh my...I am going to do a Google search for this Aviation blue Bold, it sounds amazing, definitely a bag that could work for me :nuts:.
It's going to be a challenge to pick 'just one more' :p.
Of course it also depends on what becomes available so it's going to be a surprise which one will become my second BTH :graucho:.

I would love to see it with the peuple du vent! That is one of my absolute favorite scarves!

Take your time, the right one (or two) will come along.

Just looked it up, the correct colour is 'Aviazione'. However, unlike at H or BV Gucci SAs go more by the code numbers or merely the 'blue bold' so don't worry too much about the official name.
 
I wish Gucci sold the bamboo tassels separately! I would get one in every color and change up my look on my bamboo handle Boston bag with each outfit. Wouldn't that be fun!?!

Gucci do plenty of tassel charms :graucho:

with a interlocking G Style 388388 A7M0N ****

or double with bamboo 354331 A7M0L ****

double with single Gs 31914 7901 ****

Small double tassels, bamboo and plaited leather 270427 A7M0G ****


**** = colour code

so cute. I absolutely love this bag.

Thanks immagratty, me too :yes:

Oh wow! I tried to look on Gucci.com for these but I could only find the leather interior locking G one. None with bamboo in the site...
