I have plenty of Gucci suede new and old. Suede is as hardy as any leather of comparative quality (if you look at the underside of leather it is suede). On lighter suede dust and dirt can be the biggest problem but as far as I know Gucci still clean suede. Keep away from oil and grease of course and if you ever brush, use a soft brush gently.

My advice is to go with a darker suede for obvious reasons. I spray with any reputable, mainstream suede protecter before using but Gucci don't advise it.

Thanks! Actually I have had my eye on this one, it is not so light but not very dark either. What do you think?

Also red suede could be nice but then again brown goes with everything. There is a blue leather (not suede) available in selfridges that I have also been looking at, it is soooo hard to decide. I have been now trying to decide on the best option for me for so long I am worried soon I will get none :(. Also in Finland there is really limited options to view Gucci bags live anywhere. I am travelling to Italy next month and will visit a Gucci store in Naples and hoping there are many options to choose from so I do not have to just order online. All posing photos of this bags variations would also be very welcome :)

How lovely to go to Naples! Are you going to the nearby islands of Ischia Capri too, and are you seeing Pompeii?. So much sad news from Italy ATM, the country need more tourists and their business.

Back to bags. I think I would check out all the colours when you get to Italy so you can try them on. The shade red is perhaps slightly darker than the beige but then dark beige is an easy neutral for most.

I haven't seen the 'Vintage Blue' leather IRL, my guess is it's not quite as bright away from the studio lights. It's also a good choice but it says there's only 1 available. It also has a brocade lining whereas the suede have leather (moire in the zipped pocket).

I will just wait for Italy and spend lots of time in the Gucci store to decide. Thanks for your insight!

We are actually going for kind of a roadtrip to Amalfi coast, and will visit many cities there(Positano, Sorrento,Ravello are on the list too ). We will rent a car and have an apartment in Vico Equense from where we will do day trips. We have also Capri on our list as it is really a must see place if you go there. Also one day trip is planned to Pompeii when we visit Napels too.

I am so looking forward for it! If anyone has been there any bag shopping hints are much appreciated, I could not really find any designer brand stores there like Céline or Gucci (except Naples). But I am sure that there are some butiques that sell quality designer bags, just did not find any yet :sad:

Hi. I plan on buying a Gucci Disco bag from Bonanza; vendor Designer_Merchandise.
Does anyone know this vendor?
I've been conversing with him (Igor) because I mentioned they're stock photos on the site. He told me they come from his warehouse and guarantee them to be authentic. When I addressed certain issues; he got right back to me and even had his distributor address concerns I had with stitching, etc. he gave me a whole history regarding stitching and dates.
But why am I still hesitant lol. He even sent me a drop box with photos; however the ID # was listed under each bag. But he also states he provides an invoice from Gucci showing the volume of bags he purchased from Gucci guaranteeing their authenticity.
Question: if I buy the Gucci disco bag, would I be able to still list in the authentication thread?
Thanks.

TBH, the more sellers talk about authenticity the more fish I find. Gucci are very, very fussy about who they supply and have strict terms and conditions for points of sale, so either he is getting his bags from a third party (fake or authentic) or he's over ordering for a legit boutique and selling the 'extra' profit-tax-free on Bnza.

On who 'we' serve. Each authenticator has their own rules. Some only work on active listings, some only buyers and some will help sellers too (though only before listing/selling). Personally I work on anything (mostly old or vintage) from anyone who's not taking the **** ;)

Hi PT, nice to hear from you. :smile:
Thanks for the info, but after counting all the Gucci bags I have, I decided I really don't need another one. So I am going to stay away from looking any further. :)

Ladies, I have a question for all of you. I am considering purchasing the GG Marmot leather shoulder bag but I have not seen it IRL.
This is the link to it:

https://www.gucci.com/us/en/pr/wome...egoryPath=Women/Handbags/Womens-Shoulder-Bags

Has anyone seen this bag or has anyone purchased it? If so, what is your opinion? I haven't had a great deal of success purchasing online but at present I don't have time to drive/fly to another city for a look or to purchase. I would truly appreciate your input on this bag.

Hi!

Could someone tell me how to change the currency on gucci.com? I would want to see how are the Norwegian prices compared to euro...

Look at the big brown screen above for locations. :smile:

Hi. When you go to Gucci.com; there's a menu on the left top; click on that and you'll see a drop down menu; it's almost near the bottom; click on Ships to..... and put your location.
