I love the lady web (mini or not) - even if Gucci does discontinue it the bag is such a classic saddle bag/cross body style that I think it will forever remain in use if purchased (esp if purchased in a classic color). I also think the horsebit closure makes it classic Gucci as well. The leather always looks so thick and supple too. Just my opinion but I hope it helps!

Hello, thank you for your reply! You have made some very good points! It is a lovely bag, I love the vintage feel of it. I am definitely going to think about it, many thanks! x
Gucci fakes were a mass nuisance in the '70s too
It's harder to fake the bamboo handle bags because although bamboo is a relatively cheap material Gucci only use certain parts of the stem. Happily, I have yet to see an even fair approximation of a Bamboo top-handle, young or old. I think it must take such a lot of work to make one properly. The fake ones are
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!!!

Could be as GD said although these are not usually stamped, or it could be a sample in a certain colour as I don't remember grey. Also the large model usually had material lining and the med had suede, this seems to have suede. Bags that won't have been sold in the main stores all end up in an outlet but yes, usually: G (made for outlet) S (sample) or a hole punched through (exotic second) - I suppose someone could have reached for the wrong stamp
This is exactly the same bag:

Did you buy it? It's really special. Mine is the med in Tobacco
.
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!
Never
I have one in red (but med) from last year and Gucci are still bringing them out in new versions as well as the original tan(s).
TBH, Gucci is a very fashion conscious brand and nothing hangs around forever. The LW has already been available for 3 seasons and is one of the most popular 'new'* models, so Gucci would be silly to discontinue them.
To my mind since it's a re-issue of a classic 1970s bag, the original saddle shoulder bag that spawned 100s of copies back in the day, it can never really date and that is why I'll have mine forever

Thank you so much for your reply. I really do love it and am starting to love it more and more each day. Will let you ladies know what I decide on...ugh why does it have to be so hard?? [emoji23]
Gucci Marmont Pumps-
Does anyone own these? Are they of good quality and worth the price? I like the style; though they are on "trend", I can see getting many years out of them. Any input? Thanks!!

Are you near to a Gucci outlet??? The prices for shoes are better there and the stock always seems plentiful when I'm in there
The Gucci Instagram page is KILLING ME!! so many nice new items coming out in both the women's and men's collections.
I'm especially in love with the guccissimo items like the men's tote bag and woman's belt

Pretty amazing. PT, you just KNOW it is killing me not to purchase this puppy!! Alas, trying to buy a new Mercedes like tomorrow and just can't do it. Doesn't matter to me that one page does have writing on it...it's crisp, it's clean, it's sturdy and it's Accessory Collection to boot. And it's KILLING ME!! This one will be going down in the "ones I missed" file. Sniff.
