@@byShannonhi Shannon! Do you know if Gucci hardware such as this bag hardware or the other Gucci black and beige shoulder bag you’ve purchased can be polished with brasso?
You got yourself the perfect bag! Congratulations! I have the same bag and have had it for 27 years now along with the dust bag from the purchase. I can’t believe it has been that long. I bought it brand new in 1997, and it was on sale. It was my dream Gucci bag. I just won a competition with a substantial financial reward, and I was staying in a hotel for that competition. It just so happened that the Gucci boutique in my city was holding a sale event at the hotel for a couple of days. So I checked it out and found my dream bag on sale. I didn’t hesitate for a second to buy it, having just had some money from the competition. It was my first-ever luxury bag purchase. When I brought it home and my mom saw it, she just shook her head, realizing that I had caught her taste for luxury bag 😃 It is still in good condition, with some normal wear and tear. The straps are cracked, though, and I have been meaning to repair them. I used to wear it almost all the time; it was my go-to bag in my younger days though I’m not sure if the bag’s youthful style is suitable for middle-aged me now. I still wear it occasionally, taking turns with the other Tom Ford-era Gucci bamboo bags that I bought over the years, including the bigger, black suede version of the backpack. Although Gucci still incorporates the bamboo in their various collections over the years, I think the bamboo collection from the Tom Ford era is the best, and your vlog is proof of that. Enjoy your Gucci bag! 😍
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful story! I found this so enjoyable to read and it is so lovely to know you still have the bag in your collection! There is no doubt the bamboo bags from the Tom Ford era are classics and I definitely want to add more to my collection. Thank you again for your lovely comment, it sounds like you have a stunning collection Xx
That is such a hard decision, for me personally I reach for the backpack a little more. Only because it can fit a small water bottle and its great when I am travelling Xx
I just got this bag today. Omg it's in like new condition. I was shocked I only paid $170.00 It also came with the paperwork and dustbag. Love it so much.
Congrats on the paint job and the new bag, it looks so good! I love how you choose and style bags that none one else is talking about 💙 Concerning the silver jewelry, have you considered white gold? You get the same effect but it doesn't tarnish like silver. It's more expensive for sure, but it has much better longevity ✨
Do you use actually leather dog collars to protect the shape of the handle or does the protector have an actual name? I’m trying to find one for my backpack 😊
@@byShannon amazing thank you I got one on Amazon. I just ordered the larger version to this bag and getting a handle sharper and internal organiser are on my list.
So excited for you! We’re nearly twins, mine is brown, but not in as great condition. It’s my cheapest bag, so I don’t worry about it, and it’s been a favorite of my non luxury friends.
Ooo the brown would be stunning! Love when you get a bag for a bargain so you can be a little more careless with it. Yes, all my friends just love this bag, thats when I know its a goodie haha Xx
You find the best pieces ❤
Xx
