Yes, absolutely! I love them, not sure how much I will use them...

I get into ruts. I have fabulous shoes and need to use them more.

As I always say to myself. Using shoes starts with putting them on, then walking - out the door.

But I think it helps to plan a few outfits around the shoes in preparation so you (I :rolleyes: ) don't have that moment when I think, they don't don't work with this the way I thought they would and revert to default.

Hahaha, so true... I’m in a phase in life that I just want to hoard shoes, even if this means I don’t get to wear them... take these shoes for example. I wanted them as a comfortable, but fancy!, evening shoe. With COVID-19 and a baby do I get a chance to go out in the evening? No. Do I still want the shoes? Yes.:lol:
In other, much happier times, I would wear them for my evening outings, when in a city trip... I could still walk around, but also go to a fancy restaurant/bar/opera/whatever...

Hello friends, well I had bought a super mini Dionysus in python!! Sounds absolutely lovely but, I returned it. The idea of it was lovely but when I opened it I knew instantly it wasn’t for me. I didn’t get that flutter (you know what I mean). I didn’t even feel up to taking mod shots. I think that for me the hardware is too dark and heavy. The finish was glossier than I would have liked (it’s the way the python was treated. Each exotic feels a bit different with variations in texture). This would have been my first Dionysus as well. I think the hardware isn’t for me. I’m more of a Sylvie hardware person.

It also made me think that in the future, if I am buying an exotic I should see it in person instead of purchasing online. This will enable me to choose the variation that I prefer.

Thanks for listening. I’m a bit disappointed but, pleased I can return it.

LOL, it looks like my Welsh wool collection from the 1960s BUT I love them!

Each Welsh mill had a unique pattern and were sold in tourist and specialist shops. They were (still are) unique to the heritage and era.

I think Gucci is naughty for not crediting the culture, but I love the cape-coat

You can't keep what doesn't make your heart pitter-pat.

I have Dionysus, but only on my gold boots and so I keep looking at the bags. I think I am a Dionysus person (as well as a Sylvie and horse-bit and many others LOL) but the specs have not been lining-up together for me all in. one bag. The blue enamel hw models really draw me in but even the python/leather trim version had microfibre and that's a :nono: for me. One day I will find my perfect Dionysus.

I returned an Hermes SLG last week. Colour and design perfect but the leather was not the right type for me. Again, like you, sad and disappointed, but that's online luxury shopping for you.

When you know you know!

Hello everyone! Apologies in advance if this is a wrong forum, maybe you can direct me to one.
I sold a GG Marmont bag back in July through Paypal and now 5 months later the buyer claiming “******************” service said it’s fake and wants a refund! Has anyone used them before, how could they claim something is fake when I know it’s not?
What are my rights with PayPal?

I responded to her that the bag is completely authentic as I purchased it directly from Gucci. Also submitted screenshots of credit card statements and gucci.com order confirmation.
Additionally, I had originally listed the bag in Poshmark, but the buyer wanted lower price and proposed to pay directly via PayPal. Huge mistake, I’m probably being scammed now!
what are the chances PayPal will make me refund the buyer?
