I’ve been going back and forth on whether to get the brown canvas or leather since early this year Lol. My preference changed daily. Then, I saw the dusty azure on bloomingdales.com... and I’m in love :heart::heart::heart:. It will ship in about 3 months and it’s not on gucci.com. Hmmm...

I decided to just go to the Gucci store to just try on the bag in any color/material just to make sure I actually like it on me. I asked the store when they would have the dusty azure color available. They did not even know it came in this color. Anyway, Bloomies Gucci did not have it but the Gucci flagship did... ooommmg! They actually have it but not yet displayed! Ahhh! I’m excited! Here’s mine :hbeat:

Visiting Chicago this week for some family stuff but happened to make a detour to the Gucci store in celebration of our 1 year anniversary! It's not until next week but still! I've been lusting after this for a year now so I'm absolutely thrilled!

Excuse the poor lighting in our hotel room.

Ladies, I am so torn about this absolutely beautiful bag. I was hoping this would be an everyday bag, but I just don't think it's going to be functional for me. Despite it's substantial depth, it's soooooo small inside. And I don't carry that much--a small wallet, key pouch, small cosmetic pouch, slim eyeglass case, and phone. But the bag is essentially one small main compartment and two slip pockets at the front and back--such wasted space! I can fit my phone in one of those slip pockets, but nothing else that I need to have with me. If I eliminate the cosmetic pouch, I can fit a lip balm, lipstick, and concealer into the bag like puzzle pieces, but I'm uncomfortable with having them loose. I've tried several configurations (including several different sized/shaped wallets and pouches) and have been unable to find a way to pack this beautiful bag in a way that doesn't frustrate me whenever I need to access something.

On top of this frustration, it doesn't stay on my shoulder. So, I don't even enjoy carrying it because I'm constantly having to think about holding it in place or I'm adjusting to hike it back up onto my shoulder.

I haven't take it out of the house yet and it still has the tag attached. I'm thinking of returning it and am totally heartbroken.

Been eyeing at this bag for close to a year and recently got reminded of it through IG. The solid colors are gorgeous and a very good alternative to the overpriced Celine box bags but the monogram canvas just has the right touch of contemporary mix with vintage class. As what some members say , this bag does make one’s heart flutter hence I took the plunge the moment I touched and felt it.

the exotic python version is super gorgeous too!

Success! I found a long card holder that works well for me as a wallet and have upgraded my key pouch to a smaller 6 key holder and the bag is much more functional for me. I don't know that I'll use it as an every day bag because it's still quite small, but I've decided to keep it for dinners out and other such outings. Woohoo!!!

:yes:

It's just an occasional use, beautiful object type-bag for me too. Any alterations to your organisation are well worth it if it means you can keep the bag. I intend on keeping mine forever.

My mother had an Hermes Constance in the 1980s, and so I kinda knew what to expect from this bag. There are similarities IMO. It's like reverse a Tardis (Dr. Who reference - British sci fi series) looking fairly substantial on the outside but actually fairly many on the inside.

That's why I didn't mind buying it in a fairly impractical fabric.

I'm just enjoying looking at it on top of my dresser for now and will take it out with another, bigger, handheld bag when needed for an all-day trip or for evening/occasion.

Both look nice and neutral on you, you wear either with almost anything.

Which one were you most drawn to?
