So I will be selling several things from the wedding: bud vases, chargers, my unworn J.Crew flip-flops - you know. Stuff. If ya want it before I post it - send me email love ASAP. But, before I do that, I want to sell something else. I received a unique wedding present some time ago that I'm really not loving. It was quite the generous gift, a gift I was not able to decline in a way that was either proper, polite and/or socially accepted. The gift was a Gucci bag. I received the first bag in Hong Kong and was totally not into it. I went to the Gucci store in Hong Kong and exchanged it for what I thought I might like that was in the same price range. Since we were on massive financial lock-down, it wasn't like I could upgrade, even though I TOTALLY wanted to.
Here's the bag I now own.
Yes, it's real. I have all the information: tags, receipts, leather embossed style numbers, imprinted dust bag, etc. I don't do fake (anymore).
The value of this bag is $980.65 (I can prove this).
It hasn't been used once. Not once. It's just not me.
Here are the details:
Gucci medium drawstring handbag made of 'interlocking icon' Beige/Ebony GG fabric. Brown leather trim, handle and tassels with brass hardware. Interlocking G ornament on single shoulder strap. Adjustable to 12.5, 15 or 17.5 cm drop. Drawstring leather tassel closure with inside zip, mobile phone and PDA pockets. 48 x 4 x 40 cm.
I'm looking for $675, but will entertain all offers.
You know where to find me.
(I can just feel MissKriss and Chic n Cheap, and perhaps even Miss SE, wondering why in God's name I'm bailing on the bag! It's just not me, ladies!)

I didn't say anything (yet), hehe. What an amazing gift!
ReplyDeleteIt is Gucci - are you sure you can't exchange for something else you like at Gucci (sunglasses, gifts for others, shoes). If you want help selling somewhere like Purse Forum, e-mail me/Facebook me!
Well, when I exchanged the first time, they stamped the receipt with a "No exchange, No return" option, so I don't think I can exchange it for anything else. And sadly, Gucci doesn't have stores in Tennessee.
ReplyDeleteI am wondering also!!! It's GORGEOUS (and very "me", lol) but the price tag, alas, is not. Some day.....*sigh* ;-)
ReplyDeleteAHHHH!! Why must you torment me so?! You're right...there's definitely no way that I could bail on a bag that fabulous! But I completely understand how not *loving* a bag is, especially when there's something else out there that I want even more!! :)
ReplyDeleteIf I wasn't broke as a joke, I'd totally take this baby off of your hands!! :) Good luck selling it, though! I'll ask around and see if anyone I know is interested! :)
P.S. I miss you!
I hear ya. I hate those expensive logo-covered bags. They should pay YOU for the free advertising as you wear it around town.
ReplyDeleteI really like that Gucci bag. I agree with Missa!
