I'm considering this bag as an everyday crossbody - would love to hear your thoughts on how you like using it!
Hi! I just got the same small Ophidia shoulder in beige. It is beautiful for summer! I am nearing the period for return and making the decision whether to keep. The bag holds a lot for everyday and is more secure than a tote. Maybe it is a bit big to wear to dinner? For me, it is similar in size and function to my grey Chloe Marcie medium crossbody, although the Gucci is slightly bigger at the top, which allows for carrying a water bottle or small umbrella. The Gucci is less “smooshy”than the Chloe, so does not lay as flat on the body as I would like. I am also not sure I will wear it as much because of the logos, despite how pretty it is - I have a casual lifestyle and tend to tire of some of the logo bags faster (i.e., LV DE Neverfull). My other bags include Bal City Small ME (black), YSL Nikki (in navy w tonal logo), Chloe Marcie mini satchel (olive), and LV Speedy in black epi. One other point- I am short (5’2”), and this bag fits me crossbody on second to last setting. Tall people may find it short for crossbody.
I would also appreciate how others enjoy actually using this one, as it is so pretty, but I am on the fence about cutting the tags.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm planning to go to Gucci next week to try on this bag and a few others I have my eye on. Ever since Chloe came out with the Small Marcie, I have had my eye on it but never pulled the trigger (not sure why tbh). I think this Gucci bag might satisfy that specific need in my collection, though, and I like the Gucci canvas so I'm excited to see it.

Thx! I ended up keeping it - just too cute to return. Used it today for the first time and loved it! Super convenient and comfy and a totally different look than the Marcie. I don’t think you can go wrong. The Gucci small Ophidia shoulder leans more casual, and the Chloe Marcie can be dressed up or down. The single zipper on the Gucci is easier than the double zipper of the Marcie, which can come apart and require two hands. Happy shopping- maybe you need both!
