I have a Gucci monogram shawl, pink with contrasting interlocking Gs - it was a gift from a beloved and it‘s very soft and comfortable. Are there any tips on wearing and styling it without looking too ‘show-offy’, especially to the office or around friends who are more modest? I know about not mixing logos and wearing one logo-ed item at a time, but I’ve been given strange looks in particular places when I wear it! I prefer being a bit more low-key with my designer items but I would really like to wear the scarf without looking tacky... Thank you all :biggrin:

Have a look at the Hermes CSGM thread in the Hermes Clubhouse and all the other shawl threads. Obviously you can't post about your Gucci on that forum but the shawls are the same size and lots of men and women wear them almost on a daily basis so you can see the versatility. There's also a 'how to' thread in the H Reference subform.

There are also many helpful YT vids that are really excellent. Just look under 'Hermes CSGM', generic 'tying shawls' or 'wearing large scarves'





I just chuck on and go. Usually, from a triangle, point to front, cross ends behind and bring to the front. The other way is bias folder for the longest diagonal and loop around loosely. From the bias fold you can weave, tie the ends for an infinity knot or twist. The good thing with wool (or cashmere) is that they stay put more than silk.

Put on first and then your jacket/coat for extra warmth and less 'obviousness'.

But I don't see why you should hide your prize possessions, it's just a shawl after all not a Ferrari. It is not possible to look tacky wearing a Gucci shawl - only a fake one.

Not a styling thing but I don't wear shaws with zip-up jackets and be careful with necklaces and earrings.
 
Did a price increase just happen?

Been stalking the totes for a few days now and it seems prices went up on the Canadian website, the ophidia totes used to be in the 1,700s (CAD) now they are 1,810.

Yes, between 5-10% but only on some styles (or even cws)

 
Those with Gucci Dionysus canvas/ suede in small, how did you pick between the accordian style+ metal hardware vs the studded crystal hardware? Would the crystal one too loud/ out there for casual wear? A lady with it on passed me by and I was mesmerized with how gorgeous the crystal hardware bag looked on her but I do generally dress more casually hence my concern. :(

I think you've answered your own question.

You will either have to go with head or your :heart: :winkiss:

I think the non-coloured crystals won't be so in-ya-face as the more noticeable coloured if you want to limit the bling for others but yet be able to admire them for yourself.

Hi.
I seen this bag in a Gucci outlet store yesterday. Can anyone tell me if its a made for outlet only piece?

Thanks in advance

Beautiful bag! Nice score--which outlet did you find that?

To my understanding, look at the serial number, and at the top if there is just an R in a circle, it was made for a boutique. If there is also a G in a circle in the same area, then it was made for outlet.

Anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Thank you for your quick response. It does not have a G circled on the tag only an R. I heard that as well in a youtube video but in the comments I read that they dont always put the G... so now I was feeling a bit insecure.

The outlet is in Metzingen Germany they have a few other bags with the flora design as well. All of them are more than 50% off.

I recently saw the crystal version in person for the first time and it's absolutely stunning. I am hoping to get a Dionysus GG Chain Wallet but they only come in the "plain" hardware. I think the crystal version would totally be great styled for day/casual or more formally depending on the rest of your look.
