I’m finally going to buy myself a Marmont bag (not sure which size yet) and a matching belt tomorrow! Being downton Toronto gives me a few options on where to shop. Do you prefer Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue or Gucci stand-alone for shopping? This is my first experience shopping with Gucci and would love the best possible experience.
Where do you prefer to buy?

Gucci gives you the box and the whole packaging. I got a belt at Neiman and they didn’t give a box, but my Gucci store did.
On the flip side, the dept. stores have much better return policies!
that’s disappointing! the LV in Saks packaged the same as the standalone store, I was hoping it would be the same for Gucci. Saks is the closest being in my office building
More choice (I live near 2 flagship stores) products that are not in dept stores, SAs can order in for you if they don't have it, better connection with aftercare, get invited to events, I can pay over the phone and get whatever sent for free (anywhere) do custom orders etc.
The way that Gucci works is that if you buy from a dept store you have to return it to there, but if I buy from Gucci I can return it to anywhere in Europe.
I ended up buying at Nordstrom as they have a Gucci Boutique in store. The SA advised I could return to any Gucci location internationally! Although I inspected my bag and belt thoroughly. I decided to get the super mini and a belt and am so happy!
NYC Fifth Ave for me... there's absolutely nothing like it... it feels like I am shopping comfortably at home... a really nice home. Balla and Vincent are my 'Go-To' guys that really show me lots of love.

I did buy mine from Neiman since flagship did not have any. They did not give me the box so i contacted and ask for that. They sent me the box and ribbons shipped to me free of charge.
Nordstroms and/or Bloomingdales, both of whom have wonderful customer service. Saks is absolutely horrid and you truly never know what you are going to get when you open the box. I have found that shopping at the boutique within the department store is wonderful. With all my purchases I have received my items beautifully packaged inside a Gucci box adorned with a ribbon in a lovely Gucci bag. However, be aware that Gucci dictates and still only has a 14-day return policy. Good luck.
