Love the diamante print
the one thing I'd like that's missing from my collection.
The design and colors really suits my neutral wardrobe but it took me a while to find this specific design.Love the diamante print
I've been loving the black soho disco I got for my birthday last year. At the time I was a bit torn between black and red, normally I'm not a big red fan more of a burgundy or purple fan. I was surprised by how much I liked the red. I've been itching for it for a while and when I saw that selfridges had them online I jumped on it asap. It saved me roughly $300 when you factor tax in I couldn't resist. I'm not going to lie I do feel a bit mixed on it because I don't really need it and I've been working on reducing my debt this year. So while I love it I'm not 100 % sure if I'm keeping it. I can't decide if the savings of $300 is worth it if it puts me a month behind my $ goals. [emoji53] 
Congratulations! I never wear red, or own any clothes or shoes that are red....but....I fell so in love with this red that it basically started my current obsession with Gucci!
I also love this color and bag! But only you can know if it is worth it with your debt and all. Personally I'm lacking self discipline and would have kept it
I absolutely love your new red disco. It's such a beautiful color. And I understand completely about buying something because you're saving money. I do that all the time. Sometimes I have regrets and other times I'm glad I did it. Good luck in your decision.
Imo....you already have it in black. I don't usually buy the exact same design in different colours as I would rather get a variety of brands/design. This kind of camera bag is super common across the brands if you really like this style so I'm sure you can find another one you like sooner or later.
Plus...the thing about debt....the more you are in debt the more you feel like spending to "compensate" the feeling of being deprived of retail therapy. I've been there.... and the more debt I have the more I want to spend.
So I would say... return it. It's not worth the $300 savings. There will always be sale of sorts for you to "save" on. But just focus on priorities for now. You are already on the right track in setting a goal... there will be temptations here and there. But this same exact bag you already have is not worth it. Just my thoughts [emoji8] Good luck deciding.
Normally I'm more of a YOLO gal, but if you're financially on a shoestring, it's probably better to get that squared away before any discretionary spending (including shoes, bags, clothes, jewelry, eating out, movies, concerts, trips, etc.).
OTOH, if you think you can cut out the other types of discretionary spending completely this month so that you're net-net okay, then why not?

Thanks for the feedback. I'm still undecided ATM on the fate of the bag. When I got the black one it became my most used bag. I am that person who buys multiples of things I like. Favorite tshirt I have in every color that looks good on me kind of person. That being said I actually have a pretty diverse collection bag wise from Bal, LV, Prada, Proenza Schouler, Marc Jacobs, Valentino, and contemporary brands . I've become a lot more focused on my finances this year. Last year I racked up some debt for all practical purposes from failing to plan for my trips and then helping my brother out. So I'm not going without food because I bought a handbag lol. But I'm not sure if I can really enjoy it as much as I normally would. I've set some pretty aggressive goals for myself and what I would like to do financially. I will still achieve them, it will just take a bit longer. End of the world no, but it definitely makes me reevaluate it more than it normally would kwim?
I love the packaging
I ordered a size up (10 instead of 9) because mine wasn't available but also saw differing reviews on going up half to full size. I'm glad I did so far. Do the tops stretch quickly because they're a little tight to where I bet I'll get blisters at least temporarily. I ordered these as Nordstrom didn't have Blooms at the time but I was able to order them since and will only keep one pair (probably Blooms as they're my preference)! Hurry up March!!

Does the top part loosen over time? I tried a pair of the Bengal slides on (waiting for Blooms on backorder at Nordstrom) in one full size higher as mine was sold out. Seemed ok, but that top part is kinda tight and I feel I will get blisters (at least temporarily) wearing them for too long at once.
I have no idea, It is winter here and very cold, def no sliders weather! Mine fit perfectly, they don't fit tight with me. Sorry I can't answer your question.
Gucci soho is my favorite line and I just love the baby pink color, so pretty! I don't have a disco bag, so please let me know how you like it!
