Updated Lady Lock report!
Okay, so I received my burgundy medium LL satchel with the leather handle on Wednesday. I took it out to admire it for a little while, and when I went to put it back in the duster, I found that it wouldn't lock. I tried and tried for maybe half an hour but the catch on the lock would not catch.
This is like a jewelry box lock.... you should be able to push it closed and it ought to hold in place without using the key. I finally did get it to lock but I thought I ought to bring it to the store to exchange it, as I think something is wrong with the lock.
They had no more burgundy so I chose another color and the same thing -- the lock was just an
awful pain in the neck to close. Perhaps it might work out better for
you but it was just too 'fiddly' for me... to have to spend time manipulating the catch so it will close not an option in busy New York City, I'm afraid. There was another issue: The bag I selected was the blue which had just come in for NY Fashion Week (a special color that they did not have on the
Gucci web site), and I did not care for the lining color (burgundy) with the grayish-blue of the bag.
I wasn't sure if the lining was Alcantara (like ultrasuede) or real suede, either. the sales person said it was real suede, I am not so sure. And so in the end left without a Lady Lock.
I chose the Lady Buckle large tote instead. I will have some photos of it soon. I liked it. It is very dashing and while it does not have a top zip it was too gorgeous to pass by.
Hope this helps,
