You know far be it for me to knock something that comes from a revered house of style. But seriously...
What is this thing? Now, let me preface, if you like it then good on you! And you be proud! No one is making fun of the fact that you might like this...
...handbag.
For me, however, it's just too, umm, too, well, it's too much. I like a quiet sophistication. A reserved humour. A silent but distinguished presence.
Not, "Hey look at me, I paid $3,000 for this thing! Look at me! Look at me now!! Are you looking??!!??"
This has to be a classic case of The Emporer's New Clothes. Maybe Gucci thinks that because it's Gucci and because it costs more than a green car from India, that we won't say anything.
I wouldn't buy the replica of this bag which is priced at $350USD, let alone the original which is unabashedly priced at $2,999USD.
You know what? If they took off all the gypsy bunnies, the owls and jesters (those are jesters, right?), it would be a phenomenal Gucci Boston bag. What were the thinking?
Pass.
Happy Shopping...but not for that!
