I am really liking the look of this bag. I haven’t really been interested in anything Gucci in a while, I’m glad they brought this back.
The one thing I didn’t like about the original Diana was the foil Gucci stamp and voila it’s gone.
I can’t for the life of me understand why they are styling it with the tension traps left on, if I got this it would be for storage only.

So here’s the small pink ostrich & then on me as a reference. I am 5’9”…View attachment 5133232View attachment 5133234View attachment 5133238
Love this on you!!
I’m the same height as you and I had a feeling this was the size I’d prefer and your picture confirmed that :tup:

I like the middle size, but I really like the blue that the mini comes in.
From what’s currently available online, I’m leaning towards the cream.
I don’t see any exotics on the Canadian site so I may need to go into a boutique soon to take a look at what’s available.
I wonder if there will be any more colours for fall?
I’m a bit out of touch with Gucci, I’ll have to reorient myself, it’s been years! :lol:

I am the same. Minus a few things here or there I walked away from the brand not too long after Michele took over. At first he was great, and then (IMHO) everything became tacky, cheap looking and rife with political innuendo. And quality took a nose dive. I know it was heaven for some, but I wasn’t that target audience. I think this rings of timeless Gucci, so fingers crossed there will be more.

I like the colors in the mini size most! I wish they came in the small. Maybe more for fall like you said?

I for one love the saturated colors and the originality of the tension straps. I just think it is a way to modernize this amazing bag, if you want, they are removable!

I agree completely. I loved the aesthetic of the brand around 2006/2007ish, but like you I was no longer the target audience. I’m so glad to be seeing more classic styles again.

The blue is available in the Medium for sure, perhaps the Small too.
 
My next bag was planned to be a mini Lady Dior but this bag is amazing, I keep thinking about it! I feel like the Lady Dior is an iconic bag.. What do you think of the two in comparison? What do you think of the longevity of the Diana? I know the bamboo handles are iconically Gucci.

Both are great bags, but I think the Lady Dior is more classic and iconic. Plus I think lady Diors are just much prettier.

Both beautiful. I feel Diana is a little different. You can’t go wrong with either. Maybe take a look at measurements to see if one holds more.

It depends on the model of the LD, some are quite hard to get and in and out of and that used to drive my mother completely nuts. The Diana is so much better in that respect.

I don't like the microfibre linings of these Dianas (normal leather). I've said it a M times (and I'm sure you're all bored of me saying so - sorry) but I don't like alacantara in LVs or the 'suede-like' material in Guccis, it's not at all like suede where you can brush it out, the linings are a dirt magnet.
