With my recent shopping, I have got several bags in couple months. But when I saw this tote on sales for 30% off at Ssense I have pulled the trigger. Now I’m not sure if I should keep it.

Gucci Supreme men tote
I love the design and details and always wanted to get one. However the strap is not removable, also a bit short for crossbody. What should I do?

I think you need to decide if you plan to use it for its function, or admire it for its design and add to your collection. It sounds like you already tried but it does not wear well on you?

I'm not a fan of the style. but if it's not practical, return it and use that money to get something that's more utilitarian. even if you got a great deal, how much are you really going to use it?

Thank you. Yes I think not bale to do cross-body is the main dissatisfaction for me. I think I might return it then.

30% off for some Gucci styles is a great discount, especially if they don't go on sale anywhere else (like this style). I would've impulse-bought this bag too if I saw it on SSENSE, but I didn't even see it.

I don't think this bag is meant to be worn cross-body. Some of Gucci's men's bags are now meant to be worn over the shoulder, which I personally prefer because it doesn't bunch up my clothes across my chest. In fact, I hardly wear any of my bags cross-body, even the bags that are meant for that. I usually sling them over one shoulder.

If you like the style, like the price, can afford to keep it, and the only thing you don't like is the fact that it can't be worn cross-body, then I say keep the bag. It does look good worn over the shoulder. And you can hand-carry the bag.

If you have doubts perhaps best to return?

If it isn’t true love doesn’t matter how big the discount. Save for the one you truly love and that ticks all the boxes, JMHO.

I always say for designer items: If you are not 100% in love with this bag. Return it.
Even if it's on a discount, it's still a lot of money you spend on designer items. So if you spend it, make sure you 100% love it.

Thank you everyone. I am trying to play around with it to see if I will love it or not. It Does start to grow on me with just carrying over the shoulder. I do agree if I am not loving it then I will return it. Maybe @averagejoe, you could get it once I return it lol.
