What's on Your Gucci Wishlist for 2023?

[papertiger]

Thank you. There is a tan and ivory, but I only saw the tan in the store—in the larger size. Leaning toward the tan because i tend to buy colorful bags, and could use something more neutral. I’m also interested to see if they eventually release it in other Diana colors. I love Gucci’s greens and reds. But, I may not wait too long because if the bag sells, I feel like the price will increase!

I think tan will look amazing (I see it in the Small online)

I have a feeling they haven't made many of these either. Whenever they do a 'available in-store only' they also seem issue a 'must not be moved between stores' to SAs too. Same happened with the Med Blondies. Only available in-store, no transfers, price rise, and them everyone chasing round.

I have the small Aphrodite in purple on my wishlist! I have already gone to the store to try it on in a different color (they didn’t have purple in store) and it’s really a beautiful bag. The leather seems like it will hold up well over time. Also looking forward to seeing the new releases!

I love the color and the bag. I will say the downside is the opening is small. You have to wriggle items into it. It holds what I need, but I was so mesmerized by the color, I didn’t even test drive it first!

Wow, that color is stunning! Thanks for sharing your photo. I think this bag just moved to the top of my wishlist

Good to know! I’m new to Gucci (and, newish to luxury bags in general) so I don’t know all the ins and outs of buying. I originally went in for the Attache, but it was heavier than I wanted for a crossbody. I’m trying to lighten up my bags. I really liked the Blondies, but the prices gave me pause. In the US, the messenger is $3980 in leather and the medium $3600. Ouch. I couldn’t bring myself to spend that much. I’m afraid I would never wear it. I treated myself to a Chanel bag 3 years ago and it sits in my closet! I also kept seeing both for significantly less on resale sites like FASHIONPHILE, so I wasn’t sure what to make of that. Those sites don’t hesitate to charge more than retail for LV and Chanel, so why would Gucci Blondie messengers list at $2500? Blondies and Attaches were well below retail on several pre-loved sites, although many listings did not have both bag straps. Thanks for all the information. I’m definitely leaning toward the tan!

This purple looks really nice on you. Love your two colored coat too.

I’d like to try a pair of Princetown mules, I usually don’t look good in “men looking” shoes but these look more feminine and comfy, so I could give it a go.
I wish their shoes collections were a bit more wearable, I don’t like the monogram, the retro design, and it’s a pity because Gucci shoes are comfortable even with a heel.
I’d like to add a belt, but preferably without the logo.
Super mini Dionysus: do I need it? NO, but it is so cute!
I have yet to find a cardcase or keypouch that I 100% like, I will keep looking at the men’s line (less logos and more classic colors)
The bags I like are either too expensive to justify the price now, or they are vintage and out of production, so I will probably go for secondhand market.

@maryg1 I encourage you to try the princetown mules. I have 4 and not just to have (or "collect"). In order to avoid wearing one all the time I have multiple to ensure rotation. All but one have shearling/fur. They are comfortable and warm. Also they can be worn with anything without making a shoe statement which is nice sometimes if you have another statement piece on (like a handbag or jewelery).

I too agree I have not found a cardcase or keypouch that I love. I also look on the men's lines as well.

And yes their bags are getting up there in price!!

Thanks! I have to avoid the fur ones because I have very high prey-drive sighthounds, I don’t want to think what could happen to my Princetown if they saw them! “Oh look, human is wearing hares on her feet for us to catch, how fun!” NOT!
I had seen some men’s shoes in tartan wool and I wish they come in smaller sizes, I would buy them in a minute! I tried to convince hubby to buy them for himself but I miserably failed…

Def try in-store and don't (just) browse online. There is so much more, and better, in-store.

Thank PT, my store is small but Florence is just a mere 1 hr train journey from here…
And Milan just 2 hrs, so it is just matter of deciding if I prefer to go to the motherstore or in the big fashion city

Lol!!! Well one day try the fur ones in store just to get a feel. And yes, I agree the men's princetowns are lovely however, I rarely see men wear it IRL.

I agree, crossbodies can't be too heavy.

One of the reasons I didn't have anything on my Wishlist (at Gucci) is because I already bought.

The Aphrodite is a really nice bag, but the Med Blondie is clearly on another level. The Small Blondie is perfect for a day to evening bag, and that chain is a beautiful as any jewellery. I can totally see why the prices have to be higher.

Resale is quite odd completely depends on the bag and not just the brand, Fashionphile has a Soho Disco for way more than its initial price and some seasonal Chanels as bargains. One has to buy for oneself and think about if it's going to be useful.

I have my eye on a 1947 bamboo. Likely would buy preloved, but I really want both straps, and many preloved listings I’ve seen are missing one or both. Considering the black, but the green is also stunning.

I am intrigued by the attaché bags. They look like fortune cookies and I’m here for it, but I haven’t seen them in person yet, so I’m not sure about sizing and if I’d actually like it.

I would love to try loafers this year.

And I really need a new work bag, but my work laptop is huge, 15.5” wide. Nothing looks great to me at Gucci at that size. I might just get a Marc Jacobs leather tote.

The small opening is what would likely kill my chances of buying this bag. I don't like having to play Tetris to get things in the bag, much less scratch my hands up getting things in and out, which is sad because I LOVE that purple (but wish they'd made it with silver hardware like the lilac Marmont!).

Yes! I would have preferred silver as well. We’ll see how long I tolerate the tiny opening!

Only the latest set BTHs have 2 straps.

BTH have only had straps (one) since the early '90s (unless custom ordered)
