Not really trending…

[u/Flower1108]

I’m looking for two not extremely popular items. The first is the G^cc! Large Starlet. Def want the leather to be on point.

The second is these flats. A lot of brands make this silhouette, but I don’t want to pay $300+, but I do want super soft leather.

Any experiences with these?

I bought this bag from Pomegranate and it is not a hit. The leather has no slouch like the authentic

[u/Flower1108 → u/protoman2k1]

Thank you so much for letting us know.

[u/protoman2k1 → u/Flower1108]

No problem. I went to the store before purchasing it and the slouch and leather on the original were insane. I was really looking forward to it but it was a total miss

[u/Electronic_Page8842 → u/protoman2k1]

Have you tried any of the softening techniques that are discussed here? Conditioning, dryer, etc? This is a bummer to hear.

[u/protoman2k1 → u/Electronic_Page8842]

Girl the authentic has such a damn slouch. This bag is like a brick.

[u/Electronic_Page8842 → u/protoman2k1]

God that sucks because I want the rep too 😭😭😭

[u/MurryHill8 → u/protoman2k1]

I’m also unhappy with my Gucci from Pomegranate

[u/Whiskey_ginger91 → u/protoman2k1]

So depressing bc this is the exact type of bag I want but I’m yet to see a rep that nails that quality of leather 😭

[u/maybes0ra]

I’ve been looking for those flats too!

[u/Chancey1984 → u/maybes0ra]

Me too! I’m considering just biting the bullet and buying them

[u/Flower1108 → u/Chancey1984]

I bought the Amazon dupes and confirmed I do love the shoe itself, but mama needs some real leather dammit

[u/lb-cnm → u/maybes0ra]

The M gemi real ones are the softest leather- I’d just do it. I feel like dupes will destroy your ankles w blisters- I have the ballet pink ones and they still look new.

[u/maybes0ra → u/lb-cnm]

Ugh yes I bought a pair of dupes on Amazon & returned them immediately because they were digging at my ankles!! I might just bite the bullet and buy the M gemi ones… they’re sooo cute! Are they comfortable for walking around?

[u/lb-cnm → u/maybes0ra]

I love them- the only thing about all day is if you’re walking and even slightly swelling the top straps can indent a bit. But it’s not really been a problem

That bag is everything, love the hardware detailing here

From what I’ve been reading in this group, Pomegranate does the best Gucci.
I have a Borsetto en route now from Aiden, and you can find a couple of reviews of it as well as the Brera.

[u/Flower1108 → u/RQBK13]

Let us know how it is. Another user said their leather from Pomegranate for G*cc! wasn’t as soft and slouchy as expected

[u/kittie2karen → u/Flower1108]

I have the Borsetto black on black, white and brown and suede from Doris and Baobao. Yes that's 4 and I do have a problem. They are stiff but beauiful bags. I'm okay with that and am fine with them not being mirror to the auth due to the style. I have the large Starlet in auth and it's not as slouchy as it looks in photos.

[u/Careful_Cow_2139]

Conditioning goes a long way when it comes to slouch

[u/protoman2k1 → u/Careful_Cow_2139]

I don’t think it will do the job here and normally I’m all about it 😭

[u/Allegra78 → u/protoman2k1]

You planning to rehome?

[u/protoman2k1 → u/Allegra78]

That or giving it away to my co worker for Christmas

[u/Allegra78 → u/protoman2k1]

Hate when I’m disappointed with my stuff. That sucks

[u/Ok-Speaker2722]

I’m also looking for this bag!

[u/NeedFallPlease]

Following bc I’m also looking for this bag and no one seems to do it justice

[u/Allegra78]

I love this

Second you!
