I received my red Soho Disco from Matches! I was actually a bit let down by the colour because all of the photos online show a very vibrant red (like the bottom of a Louboutin) but the one I got is darker and more muted, almost like it's a bit dirty. It's still beautiful, it's just darker than what I expected. I can't seem to capture the difference on camera, because it shows up to be brighter than it is in person. That being said, after reading about you guys' bad experiences getting Soho Discos from Matches, I did examine mine in a lot of detail and there were no visible imperfections. This is my only
Gucci bag though so I don't know what quality is supposed to be like, but I found the glazing to be a bit rough in some areas, like it bleeds onto the leather a bit on the strap. The stitching also isn't completely clean where the strap connects to the bag. I mean Gucci isn't Chanel so I can't really expect Chanel-like perfection.
I kinda wish I got the beige instead, all of the Gucci stores near me were sold out of the red so I never got a chance to see it in real life, but I thought it would be the same red as the Marmont, which is a beautiful vibrant red.
Lastly, I'm pretty impressed with Matches packaging. I didn't get a Gucci box, just a Matches box but it's magnetic and a good size for the Soho Disco. Also it came super padded with tissues, both around the bag inside the box, and in the bag itself.
