Gucci Soho Dark Brown Replica Handbag Review
Categories:Other BrandsAs soon as I discovered the Gucci Soho bags I was unable to think of anything else. The one I am going to review today is very functional, it has a unique style and it is definitely the perfect city bag. Even if this purse comes with very simple lines and doesn’t have many aesthetic embellishments it is one of the most versatile bags I have ever seen. It was created to serve both our need for fashion and carrying stuff.
I went online, searched for an online store that can deliver a replica of the medium size Gucci Sohoand I placed the order for it without doing any research about this beautiful bag. When I received it I noticed that it was made of brown ebony canvas. It is what I ordered, it looks beautiful but Gucci only made these purses in metallic leather, regular leather, metallic python leather and denim. So my bag not only is fake, but anyone can notice that. I have to admit that this is only my fault; I should have researched before ordering the bag.
The embossed interlocking G letters logo and the tassel detail really define the Gucci Soho Dark Brown bag. Available in two sizes, medium and large, it is considerable spacious. The large size measures 16.5″W x 14.2″H x 8.3″D and the medium one is 13.8″W x 11.4″H x 6.7″D. For me the medium size is big enough, I definitely don’t need the large one. They offer two kinds of handles for this bag model, leather and chain. I don’t like the chain ones because it is harder to wear the bag, especially if it is heavy.
As I already told you my Gucci Soho replica bag is made of brown ebony canvas. I had it to work yesterday and all my stuff got inside without any problem. The canvas fabric seems real, it has the correct color, the correct firm and smooth texture, and it doesn’t shine too much like cheap replicas do. I haven’t noticed any stitching defect, or any other obvious difference between my bag and the genuine one.
The original Gucci Soho Dark Brown bag has some rectangular leather tabs that connect to a metal ring which holds an end of the leather handles. My replica bag has the same tabs but they don’t look exactly the same like the originals. They are thicker and shorter but they are made of high quality leather. As for the handles, they are beautifully arched and they allow you to easily wear the bag on the shoulder. There is a metal ring that connects the handles to the body of the purse; on this ring you can find a leather tassel that looks exactly like the original.
The interior of my Gucci Soho Dark Brown replica looks exactly like the original. It has the same type of textile lining and in the correct color. We can find inside a zip pocket and two smart phone pockets. To close the bag they used a hook closing system instead of a zipper. I don’t appreciate this fact too much but if that is what Gucci wanted we can only respect this even if it is not very save for our belongings.
These Gucci Soho Dark Brown bags were created with silver and gold hardware. Mine has a nice gold color one and each piece of metal is stamped with the Gucci logo or name. I actually checked every part of it because I really wanted to give you a correct review of this bag.
I thing every girl on Earth loves to be beautiful, to wear nice accessories and to be confident. ThisGucci Soho bag helps us all to achieve our goals being everything a girl might wish from a purse. It looks very good, it is large enough to carry all our stuff and it helps us get the nice look we dream of.

Purseonals: Gucci Soho Disco Bag
Categories:Other Brands
I've had a long-time love affair with Gucci and although I've reviewed two other Gucci bags I own (the Bamboo Shopper and Lady Stirrup, I have yet to review my most beloved Gucci bag.
Many of you have heard me say how much I love my Gucci Soho Disco Bag, and the bag makes frequent appearances on our Instagram as well, so it seems like it's about time the bag gets a full review. Check out how my Gucci Soho Disco Bag scores in our Purseonalsratings below!
Slide 1 / 6
This bag is a personal favorite and is probably one of the most-carried bags in my collection. The day I got it, I instantly loved it, and I've carried it for a few years now. Many brands have similar bags; the style is called routinely called a 'camera bag' for its boxy, compact shape--like a bag meant to hold a small camera.
While there are other brands with bags like this, the Gucci Disco has become my go-to. There is an oversized leather tassel, which is a nice touch, and overall, this bag sits really well when carried.
Usually I don't like monograms, but there are certain instances when a monogram is done so nicely that I go from not being a fan to absolutely loving it. The Gucci Soho Disco is one of those cases. The GG monogram on this bag stands out, but Gucci tones it down a bit by having the monogram finished in tonal stitching; it blends in well.
I've received a lot of compliments on this bag, and while, overall, the design is simple, it isn't just me who loves it. We have a Gucci Disco Bag Club on the PurseForum that has almost 100 pages of responses now!
Slide 2 / 6
One of the main reasons I love this bag is how easy it is to use. Large bags surely carry a lot, but they can be hard to navigate. I love the Gucci Disco because it holds a ton, but when you open it up, you can find everything inside easily. To me, this is quite a feat, but the Disco seems to do just that.
The shoulder strap is also a great length. The bag hangs nicely, can be worn crossbody and it sits in such a way that makes it easy to unzip and reach inside. Some bags have straps of awkward lengths, which makes accessing the main compartment hard, but that's not the case with the Gucci Soho Disco. The straps has five holes for you to adjusting its length, and I've found the perfect fit for me is the last hole, making the strap as long as it can be.
The interior is just the right size to fit everything you may need and offers two pouch pockets. I can't fit my continental zip wallet in this bag, so I usually take out my important credit cards and slide them into one of the two pouches. The pouches can also fit your phone, but I do think that would start to pull the side of the bag down from the weight, so I don't do that.
Slide 3 / 6
When I say I've carried this bag a lot, I mean a ton. It has made appearances on our Instagram account for years, and I've truly used this bag. After hundreds of outings, the bag has aged beautifully. I'm including a couple close up shots of the bag because you would expect to see wear (which is normal on bags you use often), but this bag has yet to show anywhere near the amount of uses it's received.
I can still smell that nice leather smell on this bag, and the thick, pebbled leather hasn't begun to sag or lose it's shape at all. The bottom of the bag isn't reinforced, but it hasn't begun to slouch either, which makes me very happy.
The interior of the bag is lined in a thick fabric lining, and it also has held up really well. All of the stitching is still intact, and the hardware is really durable too. This bag shows that quality and craftsmanship are important to Gucci.
Slide 4 / 6
I have to give this bag a 5 out of 5 when it comes to value because it's under $1,000. I know that it isn't the biggest bag, but it can fit your daily needs, and that means you can carry it for much more than just going out.
For reference, I am 5'10.5" and the measurements of the bag are 8"W x 6"H x 2.7"D. Price of this bag in this color is $980 via Gucci.
Slide 5 / 6
The only aspect of this bag that could make the staying power waiver is the big logo on the front of the bag. That being said, the monogram on this bag is still not overly eye-catching. Otherwise, this bag has a shape that works for every season and I don't see it losing its staying power.
Slide 6 / 6
The Gucci Soho Disco scores high in our ratings, with 24 out of a possible 25 points. It is a personal favorite bag that I've been meaning to review for you all for quite some time. The great thing about the Soho Disco is Gucci continues to release it in a variety of colors, materials and even new sizes. If you have $1,000 to spend and don't need a massive bag, I would always suggest this one as an option.
You can buy the exact version of the bag I own from Gucci.com for $980 and shop a variety of Gucci bags via Neiman Marcus.

GUCCI SOHO STUDDED DISCO BAG
Categories:Other Brands
Going back to 2012, when we first spotted the Gucci Sogo Disco Bag, we instantly knew it was a hit. Since that day, this bag is loved by many fashionista’s because it’s cute.
You see, it’s a boxy little bag with a name that may inspire night-out, but the compact size and go-to-ease make the Soho Bag an everyday essential.
The latest edition comes with silver studs decorated on the GG logo, on the front of the bag. If we consider purchasing the black color, the studs are even shinier than disco lights.
The studs put you on the center of attention, it’s simple yet impressive.
Featuring leather tassel on the side, the bag opens with top zip closure, the interior comes with a phone and open pockets. Crafted from natural grain leather, the bag is made for minimum maintenance and maximum durability.
Though sometimes black might seems the right choice as an everyday bag, the burgundy colors does blends more nicely with the studs on the front. It’s also attention-grabbing yet overly bragging. I love the right balance.
Measuring 8’ x 6’ x 2.7’ (W x H x D) inches, priced at $1250 USD via Gucci boutique or e-store.

Gucci Go-To: The Soho Mini Chain Disco Bag
Categories:Other Brands
Gucci continues to lure in shoppers with beautiful bags every season and one of the most coveted staples is the Soho Disco Bag. The bag is so loved that there is a Soho Disco Bag clubon the PurseForum and if you follow us on Instagram, you’ve seen my red Disco make an appearance time and time again.
I’m so in love with this bag that it is sure to be one of my next Purseonals, but until then, I have to share this beautiful version of the bag. The combination of the right hues of purple and pink on the Gucci Soho Mini Chain Disco with rounded edges makes this bag ideal for the summer season and beyond.
The bag fits so much more than you will expect and is easy to throw on. The shoulder strap is plenty long and made from chain which adds a dressy appeal (my version has a leather shoulder strap). Because of the compact size, you can carry this bag all weekend long and you won’t ever start to feel like it’s too heavy.
I love how it’s shown against light blue denim, there is a throw-back appeal to the combination. But fact is this color will work with with just about anything, and if you get it, you will carry it so often it will begin to flood your instagram account too.
