Oh my, thanks for letting me know. When I received it my first thought was that it was fake, but then I thought "it can't be, this is coming from Nordstrom." I did email Nordstrom and let them know that there is a possibility it is fake and gave them all the information I had. It got me thinking that Nordstrom is a great way for counterfeiters to work the system as I believe they are only selling the bags online vs like a Saks that has a boutique within the store where the employee solely works with Gucci so they would be able to spot it right away whereas Nordstrom who sells mostly Kate Spade and Tory Burch in store (at least mine) and isn't used to seeing them. This might be something they want to consider with this distribution channel.

I'm not an expert but the logo looks off...
I could be wrong but it looks like a fake returned bag!!!
It should looks like this

That's exactly what I thought when I saw the bag. The logo looked off. The GG's should become fuller on the sides and thinner at the top and bottom and also be puffier (so not perfect circles like the fake but almost oval). The bag itself should also look fuller, while the fake almost looks perfectly flat.

@Crstina, I'm so sorry you got a fake! Hopefully the return of the fake is sorted out and they can ship you a real disco bag after everything has settled. I agree. I believe it's easier to do this scam at places without Gucci boutiques like Nordstrom. However, I've read in this forum of fakes being shipped from Saks/Neiman (can't remember). I believe in those cases the counterfeiters buy online and then return the fake via the post where people in the warehouse won't know the difference :\ so I guess we need to be extra careful and always inspect our bags no matter where we buy them from :sad::-s
 
O.O" how did you even managed to return when it's clearly a fake? That's why im paranoid of getting a fake when I buy luxury bags. SA that does the return probably have no knowledge of fake or real bags!! I would encourage to let your Nordstrom knows it's a fake and told them honesty it was the same bag you got in the mail.
You see the left one is fake and right one is real!

That is so scary but even I've heard of it happening in the actual department store boutiques, and actually there is a Gucci at the Nordstrom in Westfield Topanga Mall in Canoga Park, CA. Not sure of other Nordstrom locations besides that one that sell Gucci in-store, but anyway, a friend of mine used to work in contemporary clothing at Saks in Beverly Hills and she told me that they had a major problem in their Gucci department about 7-8 years ago. There were a lot of fakes being sold as real because people were returning fake bags there and the SA's didn't realize the differences. I believe they are now all trained but back then they were not as equipped with the proper knowledge, or at least many were not. They wound up selling quite a few fake bags to unsuspecting customers! We all just have to be very cautious when we make our purchases, even from high end stores.
 
Finally joining this club. I absolutely LOVE this bag. I've only had it since yesterday, but I know it won't be my only Disco. It's my first Gucci bag too.
OMG that pic is wow :tup:I think about for some weeks if I want to buy this purse. And I´ve looked for alternative bags. But I think, I must buy this beauty, also in black.Maybe:love: congrats and enjoy this black beauty
