After months of pining and scheming, I am finally the happy owner of my very own black Princetowns! Unfortunately Gucci.com did not come through - they are still waiting for their preorders! Instead, thanks to a kind, generous and super helpful TPF'er, I was able to order them elsewhere and they arrived today! They're a size 39 and are the tiniest bit loose but 38.5 is the slightest bit too short for me. Super excited to start wearing them although I'm also a little afraid to wreck them, as I walk a lot and my city is dirty. However I know they are meant to be enjoyed and I can't wait to start wearing them! Still debating the whole protective sole business. I always put protective soles on my leather soled shoes so I guess these shouldn't be an exception. Thanks for letting me share! They look like they are completely brand new and have never been worn by anyone but me! And thank you again to the kind TPF'er, you are the best. [emoji177]
YAY, so glad you got them! And yes, wear the heck outta of them before winter comes.
I will! I decided to get them soled so they are with the cobbler right now. Is it bad that I am eyeing the pair with roses?
The ones with roses are ahh-mazing! How can that be bad???
I desperately want another pair but am afraid of not getting enough wear when the rain returns.The ones with roses are ahh-mazing! How can that be bad???
Which second pair are you eyeing? I love the roses and I also love the garden pair, but they would get filthy quickly.
Yes, I love the roses and garden ones too! Am also coveting the floral jacquard but fabric and fur are impractical for our climate. Even our furless leather ones would get only a few months of wear each year. But if they do more colours in furless leather, I might be able to rationalize another pair!
Yes the rain is a bummer. And here winter is about 6 months long. If I get a second pair it will be the roses, otherwise I would get a pair of pink Brixton loafers. I can't justify the fur even though it looks cozy and would probably work here for a few months, as long as there was no snow.
I am hoping a fur lined pair will be kind of transitional for me-fall into winter as the non-fur will definitely get less wear as the weather gets colder.
Oh I'm sure the fur lined ones will be lovely as transitional pieces. I just feel so torn about lamb fur. Other types of fur are a definite no-no for me, but lamb fur is something I have bought before and I don't know if I should do so again. I love animals, although I do buy leather so perhaps that makes me a bit of a hypocrite regardless. [emoji52]
Are you thinking of getting the roses with fur?
So I did something bad. Now I have the sling backs and the ones with the fur. I couldn't help myself!
I must say that I am certainly a lot more "free" with the sling backs, as I don't have to worry too much about getting the fur dirty or wet.
I wore them whilst shopping with a friend yesterday and all was good until I had to use the restroom. Trying to step between the water on the floor was time consuming.
I am wondering if anyone has had these or just the normal princetown's resoled? I am thinking of getting these done so I can prolong their life. And if anyone has any tips on cleaning the fur or keeping it clean, that'd be great!
I ordered these off the Gucci Australian website. The site said that they'd be shipped within one week and I Was originally going to buy these in Warsaw but I thought that perhaps they wouldn't have my size when I got there in a month and a bit. I thought I'd bite the bullet and just buy them here.
Their customer service was awesome! I did actually ring them to check out a rough ETA (bit crazy, but I couldn't wait) and the woman said it would definitely be delivered within the week. Less than 24 hours later, I got a shipping confirmation and then it arrived in 18 hours! Very happy. I sent them an email expressing how happy I was with the service. I don't think people hear that enough these days.
