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

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:
Classic elegance with a modern twist - the painting, the bag and the papertiger. What lovely photos!
 
Just got this beauty last week from Gucci Outlet in Sicily. It was love at first sight:smile1:
Anyone can help me to identify the color and season of this New Bamboo Top Handle? I would highly appreciate it:smile1:

Welcome to the club, it's sooooo pretty

Excited to be party of the club now! The Boston!

Does anyone with this bag have issues with the good embossed lettering rubbing off? Do I need to do anything special to preserve it?

Thanks for letting me share!

Lovely colour, classic beauty

Congratulations!

I've had this bag for about a year now and I've had no issues with the lettering. I spray all of my bags with Collonil waterstop but apart from that I've done nothing special, the lettering has remained just as it was when it arrived.
 
Oh Gosh, I was just looking at the bamboo handle bags, saw a black fabric one in the vintage market today which I was tempted by, but the condition of it just wasn't quite good enough.... still wondering if I could have brought it back to life.

A little late for a response but I have to say your entire outfit including the gorgeous BTH is so chic and casual especially for this occasion.
 
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:.

Congratulations on your first BTH! :yahoo: Now we just need to see some beautiful pics!

One 'good' think about BTHs is there are not that easy to store, therefore left out on display a lot (unless I put them alone in a strong box - not those flimsy GG Gucci boxes) which means there is no hunting necessary when wanting to carry them.

Anyone else find the same?

How do other people store theirs?

I tossed out all my GG Gucci boxes because they are extremely flimsy. They're sitting safely on my shelves inside their dustbags. It's also convenient because I don't have the hunt down what box I have the bth in.
 
I would love to see it with the peuple du vent! That is one of my absolute favorite scarves!

Here you go, I just did a reveal with many pics ;):

I store mine with the brace in it's dustbag. I don't use a box. I prefer to let it breathe a bit, give the bird some air :D.
But then again, I rarely use a box to store any of my bags. Usually I store them in their dustbags and that's it ;).
