Title:
Gucci's products are hit and miss when it comes to quality, and the resell value... Well lets just say: don't think your buying an investment. The value of Gucci used products is like that of a car.
Do not buy Gucci's shoes, or wallets! They fall apart within a year or two with almost no use and your stuck with a hunk of junk. But the bags are magnifique!
Background:
I have purchased multiple products directly from Gucci's website over the years, and the quality has went WAY down!
I used to be a buyer of LV but the quality on the products was so POOR.
Then I switched to Gucci. Its a mixed bag of quality when it comes to production.
Synopsis:
I own multiple items ALL purchased directly from Gucci's website.
I will provide some of my collection as example of Gucci's downfall. (some shown in photos as well as receipts.) I will not show my whole collection as its just not worth the time for a review.
1. Gucci off the grid sandals - $500 pair of sandals Started to tear and scuff within two uses of the item, after two years no matter what cleaner I use the stains cannot come out! They need repaired and Gucci DOES NOT offer warranty for small items (I.e. wallets, shoes, etc.). So I'm fronting the cost to have it repaired by a third party.
Rating: 1 star as its just plain ugly and just completely ruined by its poor production quality. What a waste....
2. Gucci Neo vintage wallet -
I keep it in the dust bag when not in use, I don't carry a wallet much or cash, so the amount of ripping on the wallet (shown in photos) after barely any use over what 2 years? A walmart $5 wallet lasted me 10 years when I was child. An adult who takes care of his items shouldn't be having this kind of issues for an item that was paid retail $500. As previously stated Gucci DOES NOT OFFER WARRANTY AT ALL ON ANY WALLETS. B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L.
Rating: 3 stars as wallet is still functional just any simple careful use just makes it worse and worse. What's the point of owning a wallet if your afraid to even use it as its so fragile?
3. Neo Vintage small messenger bag -
THE BEST BAG I'VE EVER OWNED. I absolutely adore and love this bag. Its perfect for use, and can be cleaned easily if dirty. Perfect size for my day to day use. I don't care if it rips I will promptly buy another. I cannot find a bag like this to suit my needs like this one.
Rating: 5 stars If you don't own one, BUY IT. By far the best product Gucci has ever produced. Enough said.
4. Ophidia medium backpack -
Great quality backpack I keep in my car for travel. Wonderful space for packing things for long trips. I LOVE this bag almost as much as the messenger bag. Only complaint is it loves to fold in on itself a lot. I cannot keep it flush and standing as shown in photos. So it just looks like a wrinkled up bag even when full.
I recommend skipping this one.
Rating: 4 stars. Great bag for my line of work traveling between stores and offices. But not for everyone. I wouldn't recommend IMO. Skip it.
Ending:
As far as the rest of my products I own I don't recommend and are just normal items. I will say DO. NOT. BUY. JEWERLY FROM THEM. ITS a complete rip off. Your buying a logo. Not a useful or even beautiful item (Coming from a precious metals dealer). The resell value like all other items I mentioned is null. Do not count on reselling as no one wants a used up Gucci item that will just break in a year if even that.
Gucci has become cheaper and I will not buy another product from them unless my messenger bag breaks again. Its sad seeing a company that can make beautiful products just turn to making low quality junk with 1 exception.
I will move my collection to another brand that's better quality.
DO BETTER.
