I just picked up the white Marmont. Check out the dual limited edition packaging. You’re either going to love or hate this collaboration.

Congratulations!
I don't think I will, I get the joke/art but it's not for me.

Thanks! Yeah, it's not for everybody. I wanted it for my collection.
Love your bag, thanks for the thread! I completely missed that the collection was available but was able to grab the scarf on the Gucci website! Very excited, I love collabs!
I love but also hate. What I can say though is I find this collaboration very special because it's between two luxury brands instead of a luxury brand and a street brand, as has been done many times in the recent past. If anything, these pieces mark a time and space in fashion history (I'm not trying to sound pretentious here, I think it's pretty common sense haha). I'm not sure what the Gucci-Balenciaga relationship is truly like, but I remember that Prada helped Valentino when Valentino's shoe factory burned down in a fire. Prada offered them their own factory. I would have preferred to see a collaboration between them.
I'm not sure if they would use the factory burn-down as part of their marketing or not. Perhaps they would mention it in a lighter, non-descriptive way in fear of a soap story, but it would have been very fascinating to me. Some Italian la famiglia heritage feelings. I think it would achieve less success than Gucci and Balenciaga together. I mean, I don't really want to see Rockstuds or Roman Studs on a Prada Re-Edition, could be interesting on a Cleo if done in a certain way I think... but they could have other ideas too... I wouldn't know hehe.

Congrats! I’m happy that you were able to grab something that you liked from this collab.
Congratulations! Any idea what those bags in the glass cabinets are called? The peach and the purple ones? I could not find those on the website.
Thank you! Those are called the GG Marmont matelasse mini bags $1600.
Thank you so much! My wallet is in trouble as I am a sucker for pastels.
