Gucci just had a period of being really hot, but it’s over now so the sales drop isn’t that surprising imo.
For me, it became a bit "mainstream" and everyone had it. I even ended up selling my Gucci bags as wasn't feeling them anymore. Bit like my feelings on Burberry still from being a teen when the pattern was associated with the "chav" movement as it were lolGucci just had a period of being really hot, but it’s over now so the sales drop isn’t that surprising imo.
I really hate the new creative direction of gucci and I don't think it will help sales in the long run. Clearly the focus is selling accessories which are the profitable arm of most luxury companies, but Michele's success came from creating amazing clothes that got people wanting to buy into the brand even if they could only afford accessories. The only hype I'm seeing is around the flatform loafers, but if you compare to Michele's mule (with or without the fur) they have less universal appeal/ wearability so I doubt I'll be seeing them in the same way I used to see the mules all over the office. New gucci looks too similar to prada and miu miu, which are way hotter brands. The middle class consumer at present is more likely to shop miuccia than sabato di sarno for that look.For me, it became a bit "mainstream" and everyone had it.

I love Aspinal, Mulberry and Coach bags. I think Aspinal are my favourite though. Really good quality. I'm getting the Coach Quilted tabby delivered today and I'm very excited. Got 30% off. I'll report back when I've opened it!Been looking at this thread, I'm not really much into designer items but want to treat myself to some nicer stuff, nothing extravagant but want to buy some nice bags instead of getting multiple tit quality ones. May I ask where do you usually get bags? Any best shops for good deals? Sorry if it's been mentioned loads before!
Concur with Aspinal above. They have really good sales aswell.

I hadn't before, but someone got me one for a xmas present (granted I swapped it as it was a travel wallet I'd not have used...so swapped for a tote for work!) and it's amazing. Still looks good as new nearly 2 years onThank you, I think one of the coach ones will be first on my list but interesting about Aspinal as haven't considered them
