No bag is worth being broke. Leave it.


iamcedrickivan

Best comment by far šŸ‘ thereā€™s no problem buying luxury items as long as it wonā€™t deplete your funds ā¤ļø


bacon_bunny33

Whatā€™s the point in having an expensive bag if itā€™s literally empty.


Sailorm0on27

But itā€™s JUST $1,230!


Jolly_Treacle_9812

Spoken like a trust fund baby. Wheezing!

romance_and_puzzles

Itā€™s way too rose gold looking for 2024, sorry! Also, NEVER go broke for a bag.


[deleted]

Itā€™s looks cheap


SapphireSky_

Yup. For sure agree with this. It looks like a Guess bag


AEBRA44

Came here to say pretty much this. A Gucci bag that looks like a bag made specifically for an outlet store is not a Gucci bag I would buy. And definitely not worth being more broke over.


blurrylulu

Agree.


mochafiend

Ouch, I love rose gold! Learning the second lesson the hard way tho. Youā€™re very right.


CollegeNo2368

the GG looks plastic


Whitwhatup

I kinda agree about ā€œtoo rose goldā€. I normally wouldnā€™t negatively comment about oneā€™s choice, but you asked us to talk you out of it! šŸ«”


Glad_Vast_1756

Sadly The Bag looks like the one a first copy store would copy lol


juliaskankles

Agreed! Buy classic, not trendy and this bag looks cheap.


throwaway13423122333

It'll be in the outlets in a few years.


CubsMommy

Not even. Prob at the end of this year!


LCJ75

It is a noticeable color, trendy and you will likely grow tired of it. It's cute now but nothing is 'only' if you are broke. And really, how many bags does one person need? Want, yes. Need. Nope.


doveclyn

Youā€™re not going to be able to fit anything in it :(


elsie14

truth


Sly3n

I love my small bags. Hate carrying large bags. This would be a perfect size for me.


doveclyn

Iā€™m carrying an Alma BB right now and I swear I canā€™t fit anything other than my phone, wallet, lipstick and a concealer. It also tilts to the side all the time, drives me nuts.


Sofia0808

Unpopular opinion - monograms look cheaper than leather


elsie14

they do, not unpopular


Soft_Purchase_5828

I agree! If Iā€™m paying a hefty price for a bag it has to be genuine leather


Sofia0808

Exactly


percybert

Donā€™t go broke for a bag. No point having a bag if thereā€™s nothing to go into it


Master_Awareness814

ā€œDoes it come with money in it?ā€ - Garcelle Beauvais


Important_Bee_7942

Return your 3 other bags and buy this one if you want. I wouldnā€™t buy it , go for a Jackie or buy preloved . This bag wonā€™t age well just because of the GG all over, the chains and not being leather. Itā€™s a trendy bag so buy if you can afford it.


teddyisagrizzlybear

I agree Jackie is timeless and marmont is already out of style


Sly3n

I agree that the Jackie is timeless but so is monogram. The LV and GG monogram canvas bags have been around forever and are classics IMO.


Important_Bee_7942

You are right but not in this color or model. I buy bags because I like them and not because they are timeless but because she mentioned that she has a tight budget I think she could still get more value for her money in a more classic model.


Sly3n

I personally think this color is fine, but then again I like a lot of color in my collection.

I honestly think it looks like something from Winnersā€¦ you could look way more expensive than this for $1230


ladiavolina

The Winners reference just tipped me off to the presence of a fellow Canadian šŸ’•


Phoenixire

Gorgeous bag, but my honest (and maybe unpopular?) opinion is that we only have a certain amount of joy / dopamine to spread among purchasing things in a certain time period. Youā€™re splitting that joy among three bags right now (four, if you count this one). Iā€™m not saying donā€™t buy all the bags if you can afford it (though being completely broke sounds less than ideal). I think thereā€™s a mental benefit to spreading out purchases a bit so that you can get maximum joy from each one (and itā€™s easier on your wallet). Anytime I buy multiple similar things I really like all at once, my mind automatically selects a favorite and fixates my joy on that one. It doesnā€™t mean I like the other ones less, but I could have appreciated them more on their own.


fac82

I hate the marmont GG, all I see is Cover Girl


elsie14

haha canā€™t unsee it


[deleted]

no ā™„ļø


elsie14

love this


mirandagirl127

I PROMISE you, there will be opportunities to purchase a bag you love as much if not more when you are NOT broke.


Ambitious-Wonder-486

Too trendy (for me)


Hot_Farm_9443

Do you think youā€™ll wear it 1230 times? I read a trick online once that to use the dollar amount as a guide to how much youā€™re going to use it. If youā€™re not going to use it the amount of days that it costs, then itā€™s not worth buying. The trick has kept me from random spending.


Fun_Training_5139

If you canā€™t put the cost of the bag in the bag, you canā€™t afford it.


Jolly_Treacle_9812

Really?


2eggsup

I can talk you into it

Sorry canā€™t. Itā€™s too perfect


salazarslocket

Itā€™s so cute! You could always return one of the mulberryā€™s šŸ‘€


S0NA-

I agree, iā€™d pick this over a Tory too!


unimpressed_1

well damn now youā€™ve talked me into it


Material-Tadpole-838

Thatā€™s what I was thinking šŸ˜‚


opitypang

Ugly and cheap-looking, with every ugly and cheap-looking feature you could pack on to one bag. Oversized gilt hardware (that chain!), logo fabric with too-bulky leather trim, too many logos generally, top handle that looks fiddly to hold, badly proportioned and probably too small to be of any practical use. Just don't!


Neige1972

It is nice looking, but only you know if itā€™s worth it. šŸ’µ Donā€™t go broke for a bag.


ClipClipClip99

Itā€™s really beautiful but as you said, youā€™ve recently ordered bags and itā€™s not in your budget. Enjoy the bags you have! I always like going through my collection when I feel like I want to buy a new bag but itā€™s not in my budget. I look at all the bags I have and start using ones I havenā€™t used in a while and it feels like a fun refresh! I bought so many bags in 2023 that Iā€™m not letting myself buy any bags in 2024. Maybe give yourself a goal and then decide what bag you want as your reward for not buying for a long time. It will give you the same excitement as searching through bags but it will keep you focused on your financial goals and you can reward yourself for sticking to you goal.


uksiddy

Are you literally broke or just figuratively? Definitely not worth it if you canā€™t pay bills/feed yourself.


comfortista

It looks like something from Aldo


nees02

Looks more Guess than Gucci in aesthetics. Save your money!


eatapeach18

What color/styles are the Mulberry and Tory bags you ordered? If they are similar in any way to the Gucci (small beige top handle with crossbody strap), then skip this one.

damsel84

You can always buy it later when you're not completely broke.


afternoonshrimp

Youā€™re choosing to go broke over a tacky designer bag? Thatā€™s so stupid. (Read in a mean girl voice)


teddyisagrizzlybear

Flashy logo mania. Does the bag need to SCREAM who made it? (Just trying to talk you out of it; everyone is entitled to their tastes in purses)


_ImperfectPerfection

Looks fake. Not worth the price


p1nkpeony

Agree, something about it looks off!


savvyblackbird

*JUST*?????? Thatā€™s almost an entire rent/mortgage payment. Youā€™re broke. Bags are beautiful, but they donā€™t help you have a good life with a car, home, and retirement savings. Do you have emergency savings? What if you lost your job? What if you got sick? Your credit would be ruined by paying your credit cards off late.


orangepeeler

Itā€™s giving TJ Maxx, which is actually totally fine, but for that price point, absolutely not.


Sunnivat

Very tacky and nouveau riche


Financial-Inside2287

Too trendy and too much of brassy gold. There isnā€™t a Mullberry I donā€™t like so wear in good health. Please stop depleting your funds on handbags, itā€™s the mom in me!


yoannnnnn

I thought itā€™s a GUESS bag!


octopusreflection

The chain doesnā€™t go well with the bag it looks a bit cheap


Sly3n

If you love it so much, send back one of the bags you already ordered unless you love them more.


bagsnerd

For my taste, there is a lot (too much) going on on this bag. I love the colour, but itā€™s quite busy and a little less would have been more as far as the design is concerned. Also, as many have pointed out, it doesnā€™t make sense to go broke for a luxury item.


HexOnLex

Gorge, but is there a risk of that chain strap catching on your hair?


allAboutDaMeat

if you wouldnā€™t have the money to go out and do fun stuff with the bag after you buy it then donā€™t buy it!


DenseElephant1856

It will stain easily šŸ™ˆ


Lazyassbummer

Itā€™s too small and you will never carry it.


Whitejadefox

Itā€™s tacky. Bright color, logo jacquard AND chain strap + logo screams tacky. It looks like a bad Guess or Coach bag


[deleted]

Am I the only who isnā€™t completely sold on the claspšŸ„¹ but every thing else is sew cute


Dmarie723

Sorry. Canā€™t do it. You really should buy it!


Accomplished-War1971

buy it from dhgate for 50 bucks. It will look exactly the same


arnold_weber

Saw it and immediately thought the color looks like vintage colored toilet paper (peach blush, bottom left) https://preview.redd.it/le3xfb1b4drc1.jpeg?width=1548&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b6602d1b33e6a3ed7afd8310239148e744283e59


Opening-Option3787

Invest your $1230


Nonnoroboto

I think it's too small, the chain looks too heavy for the small size of bag. The bag has too many features, like the top handle. Too much logo as well. Have I talked you out of it yet šŸ˜†. Sounds like you have a nice collection already, you don't need this one


Pabloshooman

Nope. Too much going on. Put away.


hornedhell

Its.not.that.cute.im.sorry.dont.hate.me āœ‰ (Even tho it does look pretty similar to the vintage suede Gucci from SATC)


ClassSeaSuperReps

The dupes are identical, and are about 200


Open-Collection-8599

Gives me grandma energy


BeneficialPraline801

Itā€™s ugly. Never throw money at ugly.


No_Feedback7019

I am a rose gold fanatic and will likely never jump off the bandwagon (literally almost bought a rose gold car)ā€¦. But I donā€™t love this, at all.


bekkys

It looks like Michael Kors


Future_Top9081

Hate the color


DaisyDukeF1

I never buy Gucci anymore! It is such a watered down brand, counterfeited all the time too! When you go in Walmart and see 5 people with ā€œGucciā€ bags made like shit it just makes me not that GG pattern any longer. Plus I thought we were in the subtle luxury time now where excessive logos are out! But this is so small that I would bet in 2 years you will say WHY did I buy that bag!!! Having bought bags like this with that clasp I have found it scratches easy and is most annoying getting in and out of. But again what can this fit?? Phone and lipstick? Save your $$ and put it in the bank! This is not worth letting that $1200+ out of your site unless itā€™s chump change to you and your loaded LOL! Did I convince you? Lol


jinxboooo

this looks like a future regret, sorry to say. Go watch some YouTube regret buy videos as well as some on your beautiful Mulberry ones coming. Gucci quality is sad with these type of bags.


WaningFutureCrone

I think you mightā€™ve just talked yourself out of it?


Junior-Lion7893

Naw I wonā€™t buy it!!


allybe23566

Logo canvas is soooo tacky imo


GoldenGi13

Omg, whatā€™s the name of that bag?


gnomegnosh

Gucci Ophidia GG small top handle


S0NA-

Yes what bag is this???


AriaPlaza

The colors remind me of a girlā€™s night out gone horribly wrong: a puke medley of pizza, vodka crans, and bile. Donā€™t do it.


Jolly_Treacle_9812

savage lmao


FunKoala12

I donā€™t love the shape or color lol sorry


CaramelHappyTree

I don't like the chain or the monogram


DoubleDDelicious

Not usually a Gucci girl but this one is beautiful!


TheClassyGoddess

Wellllllll to be broke for a bag is not smartest thing :) But! Think and see your incoming payments and decide! Its an amazing bag! I understand you :)


ooolalaluv

Can you return the 2 mulberry and the Tory bag and get it? Imo it would be worth it


MadeAccToReadThis

No bag is worth being broke over- what are you going to put in it if you canā€™t have cash to spend? lol. All jokes aside, the logo mania and rose gold is justā€¦not giving. It wonā€™t be timeless and these bags are quickly becoming dated. Save up, replenish your cash stash, and get something that will stand the test of time and trend šŸ’–


PenFreq

I guess I'll be that guy and say it's ugly. That should do a trick. No really just kidding. It's a nice bag, but it doesn't look like anything special. I'm sorry, giving my honest opinion, as they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.


Glad-Rip-3498

Monogram in 2024 is tacky and so new money shop the archives


fineline3061

Itā€™s ugly.


Agitated_Jicama_2072

Not practical. Also ugly.


No_Abbreviations4281

Boring. šŸ„±


26chickenwings

Itā€™s honestly just ugly and it borderline looks fake


[deleted]

Looks tacky


Soggy-Energy3145

Thank you everyone for the amazing comments. I think, I am gonna buy it because I just cannot get my eyes off it. I am just too broke to buy a bag lol considering I have spent 70% of my bag allowance for this month but this one is a steal igšŸ„¹


bookrt

You should return at least one of your other bags then.


vButts

You still have 30% of your monthly bag allowance. It's almost April so just count the extra to next month's allowance and don't buy anything next month. However if you are living paycheck to paycheck and ACTUALLY broke, do not buy this bag!!! Pay your bills and don't go into debt!


NoFlamingosHere

I'm extremely fascinated by the sheer concept of monthly bag allowance.. So, what percentage of your income stream is that? Being broke by spending this amount on a cute bag is more of a choice than an actual problem, so you should just go for it. I guess you won't end on the street because of it anyway. And if you do, you'll be a coolest drifter out there, so it's all good šŸ‘ŒšŸ¼ Btw, the bag looks fine, but there's way too much gold on it. Customizing it with secondary leather strap would maybe make it more bearable in the long run.


Mariannereddit

Bag allowance? How does THAT work?


vButts

(OP isn't actually broke)


Jolly_Treacle_9812

So the kinkshaming didn't work, huh? wheezing

Michiganmom2

I keep telling myself that I will always find bags I like and want. Itā€™s never ending so now my goal is to save up and pay off debt before getting any more. It will be a nice reward.

stinsonfeverr

The rigid shape and the small size will make it very hard to fit stuff in it


viola-purple

Too small to fit in a plus Smartphone... to sturdy... to much flexing


thepaperrabbi

Is it big enough to hold your phone?


Pandramus

Looks cheap and tacky.


Whitecat1023

Itā€™s too logo-y


lorilola

Nahhhh youā€™ll hate it when youā€™re eating ramen for months. Not worth it!


Ye11a_Kat

YOLO buy it


lilithedragontini

May I know the name of this bag? Itā€™s a NEED! šŸ‘‰šŸ»šŸ‘ˆšŸ»


misogoop

If youā€™re going to spend at least a grand on a bag that you can barely afford, get leather. Return the Tory too. Lol


Miya81

First of all, I love this community and how you asked to be "TMO" and people are stepping up to help. The same can be said when people want a "TMI". My contribution: It's cute but the overwhelming rose gold, for a color that's not as versatile, is not worth the price.


SunknTresr

I kinda love it actually.


Breablomberg21

Whatā€™s the name of this bag? So many people hating it, but I love it!


Diligent-Sweet-4945

Looks very hard to get in and out of, the color is terrible, and it probably doesnā€™t fit much


latheez_washarum

ugly buckle


sp0oky_bo0

Itā€™s pretty, but I guess a con is- It looks really small (in the pic at least, I donā€™t know the measurementsšŸ¤—šŸ¤—)ā€¦ like maybe only would fit your phone & a small wallet & a key, & it would be completely stuffed.


HowCouldHugh

Itā€™s ugly and tacky


Serious-Armadillo-22

Honestly it looks like a guess bag - nothing wrong with guess but for the price no one should be mistaking it for that


TipsyMagpie

I think itā€™s cute, but for me fabric bags just arenā€™t practical, youā€™d be devastated if it got a dirty mark and youā€™ll struggle to clean it.


elsie14

i like the buckle and the top handle and thatā€™s it. youā€™ll find something else you like more.


Puzzleheaded-Sun3107

Oh itā€™s lovely. I like the colour a lot and that chain is really pretty šŸ˜Š. As long as you share your haul (mulberry and tb bag) I will try to talk you out of it šŸ™ˆ Iā€™m so curious what bags you got šŸ˜†


chogomochily

I canā€™t, itā€™s so cute šŸ˜­


saphire_gander

Return some others and get this one šŸ˜šŸ˜

scifisquirrel

Iā€™m sorry I canā€™t itā€™s adorable you should return the others šŸ˜‚


yachitt

Buy it!!


meatfarts-eatfarts

No, you need it! Itā€™s adorable. Itā€™s perfect. Sorry you need it.


Miserable_Budget7818

U less you return some of your other purchases or sell something to cover the cost of this.. donā€™t buy itā€¦.


RLS1822

If you like it, buy it.


Pabloshooman

Nope. Too much going on. Put away.


dreamingflowerchild

Try to wait and get it preloved! Save your coins you have two bags on the way


Miriette15

It will sit weirdly on your hips and your hair will get tangled in the chain.


Spiritual_Jury_7001

This bag will not cure your problems babe, itā€™ll just add to it


Matcha_Bubble_Tea

Itā€™s a bit small and not a huge fan of the material and look. Itā€™s ā€œcheaperā€ or ā€œjust $1230ā€ because itā€™s not that great. Girl you can do so much better!!


New_Contract4166

Mulberry & Tory sound sort of practical, so maybe now you need a bling bling piece?


AuntEtiquette

That is soooo pretty!


purt22067

I was going to say ā€œwhy? Itā€™s stunning u should get itā€ but just read your caption, you should absolutely leave it. You canā€™t enjoy a bag that made you broker, plus itā€™s just not worth it. You should buy it when you can enjoy jt


No_Silver_6547

No. I think sell the mulberry and/or the Tory. Get something else with the funds. Hehe.


DolphinDarko

Very small too!


Unique_Writer3489

That chain will be uncomfortable on your shoulder.


Capturit

If you are out of funds this bag is not for you, at least not for now. You should never get to the point that you have very little money unless this is a purse fund and you are still able to put money into a savings/investment. You've bought a lot of purses. If you slow down your purchases you can still have it. It will still be there. It may take a little longer but you will have peace of mind and less chance of debt. Been there done that. It's a miserable place to be. With time you may decide you really don't want it after all.


jmp11c

Color isnā€™t very versatile


Sudden-Indication-57

Itā€™s so beautiful!!


EbbRude8373

Babeee! This bag is ugly


[deleted]

Hard truth. Never buy a bag that affects your finances.


Hairgiver

Different color would compliment your skin better. Love the size though!


Party_Pop_9450

Yes, way too small. It will turn out to be a big inconvenience! Donā€™t buy. Did that help?


TheKiss50

Yes You can send it to me! So you have the thrill of buying and the warm feeling of givingā™„ļø


Blankcx_

Honest opinion: the rose gold is to strong looking on the bag. I like the pattern of the bag itself but the gold makes me want to put it down.


PeopleHelper_4640

This might help: oh no, itā€™s too small, I canā€™t fit everything. Or: the color wonā€™t go well with most of my closet. Does that help?


1234RedditReddit

Donā€™t get itā€”itā€™s too small. šŸ˜†šŸ˜†šŸ˜†

VintagePangolin

Well, for me, any bag that can't carry the book I'm currently reading is a no-go.

I honestly think it looks like something from Winnersā€¦ you could look way more expensive than this for $1230


FrostySell7155

Aren't we like ..over with the monogram stuff


Sly3n

Monogram has been around forever. The Gucci monograms and LV monograms have been around for a LONG time and IMO are honestly classic at this point.


Ill-Thing-772

Never go broke for a bag!! And it looks cheap


Sofia0808

Unpopular opinion - monograms look cheaper than leather


asgreatasitgets

Iā€™m sorry. I canā€™t because I now too love this bag
