Gucci Large Bree GG Canvas Tote Review
Well, it looks like I only lasted 2 weeks before I regained that urge to go spend money on a new bag. I’m slightly disappointed in myself, as I thought I’d at least make it a month. My brother had bet me $20 on it, so I lost that too 🙁 but anyways – as promised here it is…
This Gucci Large Bree GG Canvas Tote review comes after only using it for a few days, but I don’t think you’ll need longer than that to understand why it’s a great bag. The color of the bag is beige, tote style, and it’s all canvas with a brown leather trim. The arm is intertwined on the front of the bag, and there are two handles and a shoulder strap (that can be easily removed). There are two pockets in the front and one rear zipper pocket, similar to the Louis bag I reviewed on the 9th. The bag is a bit smaller than my last one at just over 1 foot in height, but it has plenty of room. I wasn’t trying to pack it to the brim, but I easily fit:
- purse
- deodorant
- hair ties
- lip balm
- lip gloss
- mascara
- small mirror
- cell phone
- my latest read
- some feminine pads
- stain remover
- lotion
- towelettes
- bottle of water
It’s definitely durable, which I noticed when my son took it from the car and literally flung it into the street. Still not quite sure why he did that, and needless to say I was not happy about it. However, I see only small scratches, which I found amazing because I was expecting some serious tread-marks or scuffs. So, this is a testament to (real) Gucci quality. Gotta love the Italians. Retail price runs $1,198.99 at Overstock or you could pay $1,300.00 at Gucci. I actually got it from my neighbor’s husband over at Albany Tree Removal; he was at his office. He had picked it up from Overstock and was hanging onto it at work for his wife’s birthday, but he ended up buying a vacation cruise too, so instead of returning the bag, he sold it to me at the same price. Saved me a trip to the mall. Visiting his office was only a few miles. 10 minute drive there, write a check, 10 minute back…not too bad for a day’s work!
