It has been almost 5 years since I first laid eyes on the Lady Lock with bamboo top handle. Now, nearly 5 years later, I am still in love. The Lady Lock with bamboo top handle, to me, is the most perfect handbag. My first Lady Lock was purchased in October 2014 after a summer spent training for my first sprint distance triathlon. To reward myself for the hours spent in the pool, on the bike and pounding the pavement, I proudly purchased the grey Lady Lock a few weeks after completing my first and only sprint Triathlon. The following year, my interest in Triathlon training faded, but my love for the Lady Lock remained . To mark a workplace milestone, I treated myself to the large black python Lady Lock.

Sadly, the Lady Locks became hard to find in the boutiques and I had to turn to the preloved market. In November/December 2018, I was lucky to come across the beige Lady Lock and black Lady Lock clutch on the resale market. Using funds from having consigned other handbags that were no longer working for me or that I never should have purchased in the first place, I added these two Lady Locks to my collection.

So here is my tribute to the Gucci Lady Lock. As her champion and supporter, I hope to continue to expand my collection. Long may she reign.

one of my fave Gucci collections [1- Stirrup, 2 - Bamboo Handle, 3 - Horsebit, 4 - Lady Lock--preferably Bamboo Top Handled] that black python is TO...DIE...FOR!!! It was on my wishlist for so long, and I waited too long to purchase and it was sold out everywhere, so I only have the multi-color python below, and the top handle [not bamboo] OMG how I love [and miss] Frida :sad:

Immigraty, your python Lady Lock is a beauty. When I bought my black python Lady Lock, the boutique had one similar to yours available as well. I seriously debated purchasing both, but alas the budget wouldn't allow it. I'm still on the lookout for an exotic Lady Lock in that size. The Real Real had the blue lizard Lady Lock with bamboo top handle more than a year ago. Unfortunately they didn't ship to my country. I was questing that bag hard!

Mannnn those pesky budgets certainly hamper good times. The EXACT same reason I didn’t purchase the black one, also the larger size. Took a gamble (and lost) the black would be easier to find in the long run but they r both such beauties, we both win!
 
Merry Christmas to me! I’ve been questing after the medium lady lock in this purple/dusty rose colour for a long time (does anyone know the name of the official colour?). It finally showed up on a resale site in excellent condition. I was fortunate to snap it up, adding this beauty to my Lady Lock family.

Now, I just need to add another Lady lock in a blue lizard skin (preferably lizard), medium size, and my Lady Lock collection will be complete.

I’ll probably list the beige Lady Lock for resale in a month or two since it’s my least favorite, and I don’t need one in every colour.
