Thank you so much! Some are really works of art.
I'm thinking that some of them have to be seen IRL and close up to be appreciated. In terms of the photos, as some customizations seem to work better than others.
The most stunning IMO are the ones that have used or been influenced by traditional Japanese techniques and finishes to either the handles and turnkey closure or the leather. They seem more in-tune with the event and occasion too.
I have nothing against customization but I also have a love and like the variations as issued and the classics.
Hi,
I have received this beauty in the same color, but I’m not sure to keep it or not. How is the bamboo handle and the bag holding up after use?
Have you had second thoughts? I keep seeing the bamboo handle bags on pre loved websites for less than half of its original price, and that’s what making me doubt it.
People make bicycles out of bamboo, in the UK, we have a club for people who have bamboo bikes. Gucci BTH handles are much hardier than most leather ones, and no-one even sits on them or leaves outside in the rain, one would hope anyway
.The prices were probably less than they are now so it only appears like they've halved.
I Bought my Med so black BTH almost 3 years ago and it was half of what it is now.
The rose and the orchid? My wallet is trying to grow thorns as I type, coz that rose would be irresistible 🌹
This one was there too, they could have been 'runway only' as it looks like a customized vintage boarskin

It’s holding up fine so far. I rotate my bags, and this is one of my favorites.
Hi!
I am waiting for this vintage beauty to arrive.
Does anyone know what the name of the bag is and when these bags were in production?
I have search everywhere but I haven't found any information about it. Thank you 💐
