So beautiful (and love your new dress). Congratulations.
Looks like you could use it as a yellow OR mustard bag depending on which outfit. But it looks dynamite with navy.

I’m kinda loving the white one even though I never get white bags out of fear of colour transfer. But this bag looks seriously amazing in all the colours so far.
In the stamped leather, it should be too bad to keep clean.
I have the red Lady Web, at least you didn't get that one in red too.
I always make allowances for stock photos making products looking brighter than they are but I actually like the colour more slightly darker. In the sunshine it will appear brighter. I have the same thing going on with a couple of Hermes' bags that are green. It works to my advantage because in the Summer they appear more warm and Summery, whereas in the bleak mid-winter I can use them as a 'pop' colour and the green is much more 'straight' without being emerald.
My only quibble is perhaps you don't want 2 shoulder bags in the same red BUT as I have 2 H bags the same colour and 2 large Bamboo Top-handles in grey, it's obviously a thing with me. If I like a colour. model, style or shade I know I'm on to signature look.
Good points, thank you. I wanted a bright, strong and courageous bag for the times! A robust winter bag that would work in all seasons.
My red bag wardrobe is extremely thin and TBH the small red Celine Box hardly counts - even though it's gorgeous it's also too small and structured to be useful except as a casual evening /restaurant bag. So the 1955 in a very similar red is a good thing! I might be able to finally stop considering the medium red Celine Box, which is painfully expensive compared to the 1955 and Gucci bags in my experience are tougher and less trouble than Celine bags.
In a normal world I'd visit a Gucci store to see the navy with velvet webbing and the brown canvas to see if I'd made the right choice with red, but that's not an option at the moment. In the meantime I'm getting used to the red - it's probably here to stay ...
You look fabulous - the dress, the bag and the sunnies!
what are your regrets? just color? I'm considering one as an everyday bag...
I just preordered this from Saks, but feeling torn about color since I wasn't able to browse in person. I ended up going for the canvas because i don't have any monogram bags yet... still somewhat interested in the white or black, since it's possible to cancel the order and submit a new one. Any thoughts?

I love this bag!!
I have the tan 1955 shoulder bag--so I don't think I can get this one in the same color scheme.
So difficult when we can't try them on. See if you can find pics of people carrying the different cws on the Net.
Decide whether you want your 1955 to wear now or all year round? This one, I don't particularly think the sig canvas is proper Winter, but the all off-white leather version fine. I don't know if I'd wear the black in the Summer either (I have some black bags for the Summer but one is canvas and another is a patent/suede basket).
Look at your wardrobe. Which one fits better?
Visualise yourself wearing this one, how does it make you feel? You can do this in your mind with all of them.
Let us know what you decide and show us!
Been eying the 1955 and this thread for some time now and finally pulled the trigger by ordering the monogrammed one, since it has some serious vintage vibes to it.
I have to say it was not an easy decision because the all leather ones look so so great in every color.

I love this bag! I have the tan/canvas monogram version and it's just perfect. The strap adjusts so it can be carried different ways. Classic.
Personally, I don't care for the white version--it's too seasonal. The black leather is gorgeous...also loving the new rich yellow color.
Good luck with your decision!
Pre-Fall's Pastel Green Horsebit is now up on Gucci's international site.
The bag is available on Mytheresa. Pastel Green is called 'Splash Green' on the website, which looks a little Tiffany blue under bright white lights.
