I wish my Animalier Disco bag had not been stolen (the one in toile with the bee). It was taken from my side while in a shop (I know, I am very distracted, still it was the first thing such a thing happened to me so not that bad). In reality, I wish I had got one of the tiger head animalier Discos in all leather instead, but my store never had them, I hesitated online, and they were gone forever.

I wish I’d brought the Disco in navy when I had the chance, it was still available when I was first looking at the bag and went the rose beige, which I love but I wish I’d have brought the navy before the colour was discontinued.

It's always such a race of time with Gucci bags. Who can tell which colours they'll crossover the seasons with and which they'll retire after one? I hope you find your navy.

I am so sorry, that's the worst. While we're shopping inside a store we think we're safe, obviously this is not the case. I know I sometimes let my guard down and Christmas before last I had all my holiday shopping bags 'lifted' from my side as I ate sushi in London. Luckily for me I had my Hermes handbag between my feet. It wasn't a gang but an opportunist 'reg' guy who stuck the lot on e-Bay straight after. I hope karma bites whoever did that to you in the a*rse, or should I say got stung viciously by that Gucci bee :tdown:.

I've also hesitated over bags. I hate to rush or be rushed. Usually it's because I don't like to continually keep adding to my CC (I like to buy outright or comfortably pay back before the month ends) but sometimes Gucci (and H) bags go in the blink of an eye. I loved those Animalier camera bags too, they were classic. Don't give-up though as one may turn-up at an outlet or pristine on a preloved sight.

Thank you so much, PT, for quoting me on this thread. Yes, this is my Bamboo Large Shopper Tote that I could kick myself for only buying it in pink. Pink! What was I thinking?? Every time I use it I always think why didn't I buy another one in black, brown and red! It is the most useful Gucci that I own, I love it THAT MUCH! I also didn't buy a bamboo top handle and I drool every time I see one. Here is my baby that I probably use more than a pink bag should be used but I do not care! It's interior is to die for and holds all my junk that I need to take with me daily. 1 (7).jpg

You always inspire me.

So absolutely amazing bag, a lovely serious pink and I can quite see why these (and the Dianas) have held their resale price very well. Despite owning the rounder woven Bamboo shopper I have to ask myself why I didn't get one of of these shoppers for myself for work - so silly, obviously I was too preoccupied with the BTHs (which I also use for work in the Large.

I now use my Hermes Garden Party for work (and play) and if you need another tote I can recommend these in the all-leather but they don't have shoulder straps. Totes are so easy.

I adore your top handle, it's such an effortless combination yet not common on the streets at all, and seems so practical too. It's the most wonderful basic black bag-- without being too basic! I'm also a fan of the emily chain bag, wish I'd been into luxury and seen it when it was still in stores. Had to go preloved for that one! :(

Though this is a Gucci thread, I'm reminded of my Chanel mini. I got my chevron lambskin mini in store the same time they had a quilted caviar dark green mini, but I turned down the caviar........ it sold in the next 5 minutes and now they don't make the caviar minis anymore! Ah, the regret.

Some variations are still available via the outlets I think. I like the look of those a lot.

Yes, you're right....I have seen several fun colors and sizes at outlet. They come and go, but seem to be somewhat of a staple.

I don't see the Bamboo Shopper Tote very often, but I have seen both brown and black at outlet in the last year. It may come around again!

I regretted not buying the small Marmont flap in the emerald green leather. I thought to scratch my green "itch" with the same color in the Soho Disco, but I just don't love it as much. I really love a flap!

For the longest time the Gucci Marmont Web Heart was the "one that got away", but I was so happy to find it last year through outlet! It was fate, since there was only one bag in all of the US outlets at the time I bought it. :yahoo:

I posted my collection of Lady Lock bamboo top handles in a different thread a while back. They were introduced in 2013 and I still love the shape and look of that bag more than any other. One regret is not purchasing both the large size and clutch in red. However, my biggest regret is not buying the medium blue exotic skin that showed up on a resale site last year. They didn’t ship to my country. I contemplated a forwarding service or renting a P.O. Box in my neighbouring country and having it shipped there. I wish I had!
