I saw this "vintage" (that's how it was being marketed) bag at a local department store today. I really liked it but know absolutely nothing about the Guccissima bags. Are they out of fashion? Too old lady-ish? Too flimsy? Do people still like them? I'd love to hear people's thoughts. I didn't buy it but am thinking about it. It has been professionally authenticated.

They still have some Guccisima bags at Neiman Marcus when I was there a couple of weeks ago. I bought a Guccisima bag at an outlet a few months ago and there were a lot of styles so I don’t know that this bag you’re looking at is vintage. I love my little Guccisima bag.

I just bought a guccissima at the Gucci outlet. I adore the bag I bought. I can’t vouch for authenticity but the bag you posted looks pretty classic to me. I like the shape. I don’t like the trendier marmont pieces.
Thanks! Yes I saw the authenticity card/cert so I feel good about that. Just wondered if this bag would be a classic and something that I's enjoy.

I like it. I would wear it. I think it's cute!
I would definitely have an authentication done though just to be sure. You could post in Gucci authentication thread ( I would follow the format and be sure to have all the correct images) and / or you could use a paid authentication service. ( You can Google a list of them, many are affordable)
But back to your question- yes I like it a lot and I would definitely buy it. I actually regret not getting something similar while at the Gucci outlet a few months ago so I'll be looking for it again next week when I go. The one I was going to buy was a different style/ color but they are still really cute. I also like it better than canvas and think it'll be more durable.

Thank you! It has been authenticated. It was going to cost me about $945 plus tax. Is that high for that bag?
 
Thanks! It's final sale - that's the one thing that made me hesitant. I feel like I could resell it if I needed to but just wasn't sure!

Your not likely to get your $ back if you resell. This is not a new bag and guccissima bags are all over the outlets for well under $1,000. I saw tons in the $600-$800 range at outlets but again that’s new. Still, buy what makes your heart sing. It looks nice.

Thank you for this! I looked at it again today but just couldn't pull the trigger.

In case you're still thinking about the bag, Guccissima leather wears incredibly well and lasts forever. I have a great bag that is four years old and I use almost daily and it still looks almost brand new. Once in a while it gets a little clean up and it looks amazing. Probably the best ROI bag I've ever had. Keep trying to find a new bag that is better than this one, but can't!

Thanks! I ended up ordering a similar bag but in a regular calfskin leather. Can't wait to get it!
