Hi ladies. I'm thinking of getting the small pelham bag with the dark brown braided handles. Does this bag ever go on sale, or does anyone know where I could get one for below retail? Ugh, I just hate to pay retail.:crybaby:
 
Because this is one of Gucci's most popular bags it never goes on sale.

I would suggest Ebay but I don't trust Ebay. WAY to many fakes!!!

If you want to make sure the bag is real I hate to say it but I think you will have to pay retail for it. As sad as that is.

Good Luck it is such a great bag.

Thanks for the tips, I really appreciate it. It looks like I will have to pay retail since I am totally lusting over that bag....amongst other things :smile:
 
yup.. This bag is totally widely faked. I have it in white in the small and I love it. Retail at a boutique or department store is the obvious sure bet.

You could try and find one on Ebay but I think it would be best to try to find a used one.. Someone on ebay trying to sell brand new for less than retail, I don't really trust. If you decide to go the Ebay route, check the Share Your Authenticity Knowledge thread for some tips. If you think you might have a good one, post it in the Authentication thread, to get other's opinions. I think most try to fake the Medium Size more so than the small so at least you have that going for you. Good Luck with your decision.
 
I agree - I've been searching for deals on the small pelham in brown guccisima leather for a few months. Everywhere I look, it's retail price. Currently the US has the best price as its much more expensive in Europe, Hong Kong and Canada. Good luck!
 
The pelham is definitely a classic! It will never go on sale.. I too love it lots but guess that the retail price is just too much to pay for a piece of fabric... :sad: hope you can find yours soon..
 
Unfortunately Pelhams never come cheap, and unfortunately, that's why a lot of the Pelhams I see here in Hong Kong are fake. If you get lucky you might find a real one on Ebay, but there are too many fakes out there. If you really want it, I say save up and buy it! Good luck!
