It's always been such a classic and as outrageously over-the-top Michele's work for Gucci can be, I much prefer their current bag releases over my usual LV. Nothing about the Jackie's design feels superfluous in any way, even in the reissue version. The horsebit lock really makes the bag, almost like a jewel. And I love, love, love how it looks with the long strap. The small's a pretty good size for what it can fit, especially given the current situation where I only go out for necessities and don't need to lug everything and the kitchen sink. Couldn't stop smiling watching the unboxing and the WIMB.
