Hi there,

I bought a Gucci Marmont Camera bag in black and am torn re whether to keep it. I have the small Marmont flap in porcelain rose and love it but I definitely got on the bandwagon late.

I've wanted the camera bag for a while as I think I'd use it a lot, but it's a big investment (even if it's not in chanel territory) and don't want to make a bad decision.

What's your thoughts?

I don't think it's out of style, but in my opinion too many people have it... If you don't care about that, then I don't see a reason why you wouldn't keep it. I saw them a lot on sale recently, hope you didn't purchase it for the full price. :smile:

Completely agree. I bought the camera bag not too long after it first came out, but now there are a lot of people with it. I still love it, but it makes me want to wear it less when a lot of people have it.

I bought mine only about 4 months ago and absolutely love it. However, I do think it is starting to look outdated, as it's been everywhere for years. I feel like the design has been exhausted... a lot of the marmont line is currently discounted on SSense, which to me only proves the point.

Hello ladies!
Today I purchased my second Gucci bag, the Small Marmont Matelasse Camera Bag in Black. I saw plenty of review videos before deciding on the purchase. I know it’s a old bag, not so trendy anymore and that “everyone has it” , but I’m asking for anyone that owns it or owned it, how did/do you like it? Was it worth the price? Did you get any scratches on it?
I will be ordering a bag insert to help keep its shape and protect the interior.
Thank you in advance

I don’t care if it is trendy or will (or has already) go out of style. I love it and wear it all the time. I have the rose blush and have owned it for a year and half. I love it because it is soooo lightweight and comfortable, and has not shown ANY wear at all! No scratches or color transfer!!! I stuff the bag after use so it doesn’t lose its shape

I absolutely love mine. I remember the day I bought it, I was soooo excited because I got the last one in that colour in the whole of London (it was when the bag was really, really popular). I still wear it a lot, as its the perfect hands-free bag. I wore it out just this morning on a walk :P, considering how much I use it, the condition is perfect (I have the beige colour). I wouldn't worry too much about the bag losing its shape, as its such a small bag, when you are using it, you never notice shape loss due to the items inside filling out the bag. I'd definitely consider it one of my best bags in terms of usability. Enjoy your bag!

I just got my first (the mini camera marmont) yesterday and am so smitten I've ordered another in the small size. I normally buy LV and considering the low price point (for a designer bag) I really was pleasantly surprised with the quality look and feel of the leather, and the lovely soft interior. I only have first impressions to go on but so far I think totally worth the price (and still seems pretty trendy imo).
