Stunning! I always felt the Lady Web was discontinued waaaay before her time. It could've been a permanent offering, at least in the GG print. If you put it side-by-side with the Disco Soho, Lady Web wins hands down.

I think if they properly re-release the Jackie, it'd probably be in the GG Velvet. Michele seems unlikely to use the Guccissima.
I'm just speculating. You never know. Michele's team might come up with surprising ways to use the Guccissima.
Perhaps the association to Frida was the reason Alessandro tries to veer away from the Guccissima.

Thank you both! I will continue to watch the forum! I am not familiar at all with the Gucci world, so I have to come to the experts here
This is how the shoulder strap is extendable alongside the additional button covers that come with the 1955 Horsebit. Knowing me, I'd probably lose the button covers somehow, unless I keep them in the pouch and store it inside the bag.
I wonder how comfortable the strap is on the shoulder when it's fully extended. The button sockets seem to be resting on the shoulder. Probably won't be an issue since sockets tend to lie flush against the leather.

Sienna looks to have the strap extended by one stud. I like where it sits on the body this way. Unextended, the bag seemed to sit quite high under the arm with Stella von Senger, but I think that's just a slight illusion with her top's puffy sleeves (see here).

Will it hit stores eventually? Email I received said online exclusive.
It's described as "A limited time online exclusive, this bag will be available with early access on Gucci.com"
So it'll be limited to Gucci online stores for a certain period before being widely released.
Do you think this will end up being a popular bag among the influencer set? I love it but don’t like feeling like I’ve been caught up in a giant bag trend where it’s nice for a couple of years then looks really out of date.
I've been checking Instagram every few hours or so and it's pretty quiet. Either all the influencer bags got lost in the mail, or Gucci's strategy is mostly to let the design speak for itself. The two people I've shared on this thread probably had their bags gifted (Yoyo Cao's picture was for an editorial) but it's nowhere near Saddle Bag levels of exposure with the influencer set since the Saddle Bag was re-released in a massive PR campaign with loads of gifted bags.
It's a pretty classic design, and based on a model from 1955, so that should give you an indication to its longevity. We all fall in and out of love with bags after a while. Buy things to enjoy as long as you can.
