review ur bag soon!!!
Wow, it's beautiful and a great color choice! (I've been looking at that one myself)Oh and look what arrived at my house today!
Any chance you could show pictures of the interior, I'm curious to see if there are any card slots or interior pockets? Thanks
^^ I'm the type to wear a single bag for months on end until I get sick of it and change, and I did the big swap over a couple of days ago now.
I had been using a prada double zip cosmetic case (bluette saffiano 18cm long with leather strap) and I almost wept changing out of that bag as it is the most practical and hardy minibag ever. HG status but had to move on as I was desperate for a change.
So at first I was annoyed that there is only a single compartment. This means that paper receipts and loose change (no space for my full wallet) has to all get tipped into the single compartment. After the convenience of the two compartments in my prada I wasn't happy about that and I started to wonder if the bag is in fact a 'special occasions only' bag, which doesn't work for me.
But I pressed on and of course I am getting used to it and in a few days I suppose it will no longer bother me. I found a little squashy leather pouch to put my coins.
My sunglasses will not fit in the bag but they didn't fit in my last bag either.
The wear on the gold is something that worries me. I would have preferred silver hw tbh as I was concerned the gold was just a little flashy for my everyday. But I couldn't go past the practicality and cool of the canvas paired back with the light pink trim. It seemed the perfect souvenir of gucci's new director and the company's revival-type success.
I decided that perhaps this bag would age elegantly and that I wouldn't care of the gold scrapes off on the chain etc over time. ?! Interested to hear other peoples' opinions on that. In the past I have found that gold toned chain bags have actually worn pretty well over years. But of course they do wear.
The gold is a bright gold, not pale. It is very pretty!! However I did end up taking the bright pink key fob off (for now) as I felt that with the bright gold hw the bag was a little flashy for constant use and I wanted to tone it down somehow by removing an element. After removing the lovely key fob I did feel better about being out and about with this lovely bag as an everyday thing.
The bag is quite stiff out of the box. I can see it softening up a little but of course it is quite structured (which I like). At first the closure seemed a little bit of a fiddle but I have learned that if you simply push on the top of your bag and push the lock at the same time, it closes pretty quickly. It is easy to open and close once you get a little familiar with it.
I will post pictures later but I hope this helps

Beautiful bag! Have been eyeing the one in black or black flap with the coated canvas. If you have time, could you please do a review as to what you can fit in the bag? Many thanks!
This is the mini bag length is 20 across, height is 14cm.
Inside I carry two card holders - one for id and one for bank cards. A pen, iPhone 5, couple lipsticks. Pouch for parking coins. Paper money and receipts just get tossed in at the mo.
There is a single card slot at the inside back of the bag. apart from the pretty pocket at the outside back of the bag, that is it.
Thanks for the pics! I'm even more torn now, because I do love the style of this bag but not sure I can give up organization. Thanks for your input.
I know what you mean. I guess it is a good excuse to acquire another slg or two lol. I have just ordered the tian zip around card case. I am hoping I can keep receipts, paper money, business/ loyalty cards in there. Let's hope it fits in the new bag

Please forgive me, as I'm very new here ... but what does "slg" mean? Thanks.
Small Leather Goods such as a card case, key case or wallet
OOooohh - thank you! I'm learning so much here. [emoji4]
How are you liking your new padlock? Does the actual padlock concern you at all? Do you think it will last for a long time? Any closure with move pieces worries me. But I do love these bags! The problem is trying to figure out which one! I am strongly leaning toward pink and red ... a real departure for me ... but so happy and pretty.
^^ The lock seems secure and well made, it is easy to close by pushing on the tip of the bag and pressure on the lock at the same time. Very easy if the bag is not over filled!
As with all Gucci bags it seems beautifully made. My six year old daughter spilled a cup of coffee over it yesterday and it just wiped off the canvas without the slightest stain.

I would actually be happy to wear this one cross bodied as I am only 162cm and so i don't feel the strap is too short. However, I don't have a lot of firm or detailed preferences regarding cross body strap length etc as I never actually wear my bag like this. It seems like you have already tried the bag on and decided for yourself
I am in the sad position of having to shop online mostly, sight unseen (which makes this forum invaluable).
