Hi everyone! Does anyone own a Gucci Ostrich bag, and if so, any cons? How do you care for it? I just purchased mine from a reseller boutique and I'm pretty excited to receive it. Does anyone own this particular Gucci Ostrich Jackie bag and if so, are you happy with it? Do the Ostrich nubs come off easily? Many thanks to those that respond! :)

Great buy at an unbelievably excellent price!

I have every exotic Gucci except ostrich, I have lots of ostrich that isn't Gucci including bags (and jackets).

Ostrich is so easy, rain or shine (in use) just keep grese and oils completely away, store away from direct sunlight.

I highly recommend!

@papertiger thank you so much for the fast reply! I'm pretty excited to receive it. I just purchased the bag this am so hopefully by next week I'll receive! I love the Gucci Re Belle in the medium made of python! Unfortunately python can't be shipped to California! Bummer! By the way do the nubs on the ostrich lift off easily?

Not at all

Congratulations!

Post to the thread when you receive, we will all want t see :biggrin:

PS, when it came out, I wanted the Python Re Belle too. I passed when I saw it had microfibre lining :blah: - my SA told HQ why some clients are turned off. No way can we have exotics with 'plastic' lining. Anyway, this Jackie (Bouvier actually) is a much better buy, value and investment all round

Oh thanks for the correction in the name of the bag! :) I'm a bag enthusiasts so I really do appreciate you bringing it to my attention. One day I will be passing my bags to my daughter so it's important to me to have all the details. :)

Hello there! Congratulations on your new Gucci Ostrich Jackie bag! While I don't personally own this bag, I can offer some general advice on caring for exotic leather items.

Firstly, it's important to remember that ostrich leather is delicate and requires special care. Avoid exposing the bag to direct sunlight, heat, and water as these can cause discoloration and damage to the leather. Additionally, it's important to avoid contact with any chemicals, including perfumes, hairsprays, and cleaning products, as these can also damage the leather.

When it comes to cleaning the bag, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe away any dust or dirt. You can also use a leather conditioner specifically formulated for exotic leathers to help keep the leather soft and supple. Be sure to test any cleaning or conditioning products on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure they don't cause any damage or discoloration.

As for the Ostrich nubs on the bag, they should not come off easily if the bag is well cared for. However, it's always a good idea to handle exotic leather items with care to avoid any accidental damage.

I hope this helps, and I'm sure you'll love your new bag!

@Cassey011 thank you! Yes this does help. :) Gosh I hope the person that had this bag before me took care of it! Lol. I bought it online from a luxe consignment reseller boutique. From the pics I can see darker areas of pigment throughout the bag but that looks like part of the beauty of the skin.l vs damage but I won't know for sure until I see it in person. I will look into purchasing an exotic skin leather, perhaps Amazon so I can have it here to use when the bag arrives. Do you think using a gentle non alcoholic baby wipe is ok to initially just wipe the bag down and then just go over it with a dry soft towel before using conditioner? I know you said do not get it wet, but is slightly damp ok? Hahaha! :) Thank you again for your help! How about a water repellent? Is that a no no? :)

Hello everyone. :) For those that are interested and have been waiting for pics on my (new to me) Gucci Ostrich Bouvier "Jackie" bag, here it is! Sorry for the delay! First impression: Stunning! I'm so happy I pulled the trigger before someone else did! It's pretty large, and because I have gotten accustomed to bringing less items with me, I don't have much to put in this bag. Lol. I bought it for the look vs the need a large bag. NO REGRETS! Does anyone know what year this bag was released? I'm curious to know how old this bag actually is. Thank you!

Amazing!!!! GGlorious!!!!!

The condition looks incredible for it's age.

I believe it's 2005 or there about (my Bouvier web-stripe was).

There were Bouviers all the way to the early '10s but not web-stripe

Oh thank you Papertiger! Wow, 2005?! I would NEVER have thought it was THAT old! I'm amazed! It even came with the Gucci retail tag, booklet, leather sample and dust bag. The retail price section was removed though. The bag held up very well. The inside is immaculate. I did notice when I rub lightly on the bag with my hand that there are a few follicles that are barely lifting up. Not many at all and when looking at it, you do not notice. There are some on the side edges. What color did you purchase? Do you still have yours? If it's a different color I would love to see it if youi don't mind sharing. :)
