This is so funny, I'm 39 and just hired a 61 year old interior designer to make my overly traditional home more current, so age is nothing but a thing. I'm also at the age where I want to be current, definitely not trendy, but modern! To me, your bag looks pretty classic and if blue nail polish looks good with your skin tone then rock it, it looks horrible on me! Super skinny pants for guys are TRENDY and look terrible on some but ok on others. Now a slimmer more modern cut, sure, that is current. Frankly, I'm relying on experts lately to help me and I'm totally fine with that.
Mrs. Z, I tried but just couldn't wear bright blue on my fingernails. I polished my toenails and wore sandals the next time I saw her. She was thrilled. My son's pants turned out beautifully, slimmer profile but not skinny. He has tall thin legs so it worked well.
Do you think the bag looks worth $1,700?
Or, is there a better choice?
What!?Oh, and someone on the Gucci forum just informed me that the disco is now out of style. I can't keep up.
So for that price it's obviously not croc, fake embossed? doesn't seem worth it to me....anything else you have your eye on??
"Worth it" is so subjective. If you love it, I guess it's worth it. But it won't hold its value resale.
There are more recognizable / on trend / covetable brands that have great bags in this price range. Armani is better loved for its clothes than leather goods.
Maybe take a little while to look around the forum or in stores. You may find something you like even better.
2cello, you know something, you're right. I ought to have used the term dated rather than old.
I don’t mean to belabor the point but if you're up to it, would you indicate what makes this bag dated? Shape? Texture?...
I'm not qualified to be talking trendy but FWIW, I think it is mainly the shiny, large scale, croc print. This came up in a discussion of longchamp's Roseau croc print bags which have a similar finish. They were determined to be dated.
If you look at, say, saint laurent croc prints, they are a slightly smaller scale.

Thanks for your advice. I've been shopping online/forums bc I live in a small town. So hard to not see items IRL. From what I've read here, not too many bags hold their value. Chanel is too expensive and the online pre-loved market seems rife with fakes and thieves."Worth it" is so subjective. If you love it, I guess it's worth it. But it won't hold its value resale.

I would also associate the bag with someone who's at least 30. It's kind of a serious bag, not very young or playful. The color, the texture, the shape, the hardware. It just says a practical, more conservative bag for a more mature woman rather than a teen or a college kid.
Sparkletastic, any suggestions? Nothing over 2k please, preferably 1,500 or under?"Worth it" is so subjective. If you love it, I guess it's worth it. But it won't hold its value resale.

I love the bag, I think it's gorgeous. Size of croc print....hmmmm...so who is to say that saint laurent's smaller scale won't be outdated next year? I say you find a bag you like the look and functionality of and buy it and rock it with your blue nail polish!!
I have to agree with Hobbsy. Trends come and go. I really think it's the overall look that makes something dated.
Sure! I love hunting bags.
What are you looking for? Convertible satchel? Crossbody? Size? Material? Anything else? New only or is preloved and option. Anything you don't want?Sparkle is a great person to help find a bag, she has very good taste.
