Hello everyone!! After reading luvednotspoiled's thread about buying a new gucci messenger, http://forum.purseblog.com/gucci/gucci-messenger-262342.html I was easily influenced that i needed one too. I searched on BlueFly and eBay hoping that I would find a good bargain, but didn't really see anything that I was willing to pay for. I've never contacted any of the gucci outlets before and the next thing I know, im calling up the Cabazon Outlet. The messenger was $559 w/tax and shipping it came out to be $615. BlueFly has it listed for $920. I ordered it last week and it arrived on Monday. I still want a canvas mono messenger, but I just don't want to pay full price. Sorry no modeling pics. I am so unhappy about my weight it really is depressing.
