Looks like some new bags added. I see prices ok. My work computer is in the middle of an update so it's moving slow but I definitely see new bags.
Thanks--I checked again, and for some reason when I typed in Gucci.com it took me to the international site. Don't know why this would happen, as I go on the site periodically. Dumb computer!!
I have looked all through the forum but can't find a discussion/place for this question - were the gucci bamboo handle bags faked like the GG bags of the 80's? It seems that the gucci counterfeits starting showing up in the 80's if I recall? But maybe not - thanks for any insight and a special thanks to the authenticators of Gucci!
+1. I also kept trying them on at the boutique....always attracted at how pretty the different embroidery are. ....but always find it so seasonal as in it looks good for that season and soon will look dated. For that price I should get something more classic looking to last longer....
Someone said the same thing to me in relation to the embroidery. What do you think of the Bloom or 'plain' (e.g. just the gg with no additional embroidery or images) dionysus?
I was in love with the bloom originally. .... but soon they came out with embroidery ones...at first a small patch....bee/snake etc...then more... lightning/flowers whatever..... then the whole bag full of prints and bloom. Gorgeous actually.... but that means now the bloom looks dated.... and so do those single patches... it's like they belong to past season. My current favourite is the attached.....so beautiful!
U asked about plain vs bloom....I think bloom is prettier, but plain is more classic..... Sorry. ... Even I myself can't decide....

I don't think any of the variations look dated, I haven't even seen many (any) of them out and about yet
Which bag?
Sure, post the link/more pics and I'll take a look. Maybe take it to the vintage info thread so we'll never lose it
I LOVE THIS!! If i was a dealer in Vegas I would HAVE to have it!!! I am such a vintage Gucci hound!!!!

This leather horsebit chain hobo has a Gucci tag showing it is an outlet bag (with the little G in a circle). I never knew Gucci had an outlet chain hobo and it doesn't look any different than the regular ones to me. Hardware is the same, etc. What is going on here, PT?? Just curious really. I loved my chain hobo but had to sell it before the canvas started showing wear which it didn't but I didn't want to use it cause eventually it would have shown wear. I miss that bag and hate that the GG canvas bags are now creating those hole looking wear on corners and pleats (as in the Sukey) because believe it or not, I prefer GG canvas over leather. I am THAT in love with it. For some reason, I have always been partial to bags other than leather like canvas, coated or not, but prefer the non-coated Gucci canvas and because of the wear they are showing I have sold all of them. Breaks my heart!!!

Actually it is probably leftover from regular inventory and sent to the outlet for sale. Gucci doesn't destroy what it can't sell. So I don't believe it's actually an outlet bag.
PT correct me if I'm wrong!
