Gucci Marmont Small Shoulder Bag
Last June, I finally pulled the trigger and ordered my first luxury purse ever – the Gucci Marmont Small Shoulder Bag.
Everyone who knows me well knows I love and covet designer items – they are not a purchase I take lightly, and as I’ve gotten older my purchases have swayed less from “let me buy 100 cheap items in my wardrobe that I wear briefly” to “let me shop less often and invest in a true capsule wardrobe that lasts a lifetime.”

Designer handbags are a huge investment, but they ARE an investment – if you keep them in good shape! Designers like Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Prada, Chanel, etc all hold their value.
In many cases, they appreciate the longer you have them! As long as you take good care of your purchase, you could expect to turn around and sell your designer handbag for not that much less than you spent on it originally – and possibly even more!
It’s a nice comfort to know that if you’re ever in quick need of some cash you can turn around and sell your bag in a pinch!

Gucci shoulder bag
I considered so many different bags before finally pulling the trigger on the small Gucci shoulder bag. Now that I’ve owned this bag for well over 8 months, I wanted to share an honest review of what I like/don’t like about the small Gucci Marmont.
When I was researching what designer purse to invest in, I considered a lot of different options.
I finally narrowed it down to the Gucci Marmont Small Shoulder Bag, especially after reading this review from the blogger Sunseeking in Style. It really helped to solidify that this would be the right bag for me.
Gucci Marmont
The Size: From all the photos and research I did, the size seemed perfect for me. I am usually hustling around with a diaper bag or baby in tow, and a crossbody is the best function for my lifestyle. However, it still looked large enough to handle a lot of what I need to carry along.
The Look: I liked how this bag had both browns and blacks in it, meaning I could wear it with just about anything in my wardrobe.
The Price: This bag is by NO means cheap, but it is a more affordable designer bag. With this being my first big designer purchase, I liked that it was on the cheaper side
Now that I’ve owned this crossbody for awhile, I can honestly say I am SO happy with my choice to purchase the Gucci Marmont as my first designer handbag.
My initial reasons for deciding to purchase this bag ended up all being accurate! The size is great – it isn’t big, but it holds a TON! You can easily fit a full sized wallet, car and house keys, sunglasses, lipstick, and still have some extra room.
This bag has been perfect for almost every season: I wore it in the summer and fall nonstop. I’ve since put it on display in my office through the winter, since upstate New York winters are harsh and unforgiving
Overall, this is a bag I know I’ll be happy with for years. I plan on eventually passing it down to my daughter as a vintage heirloom – something she can keep to use for herself, and since Gucci will always hold it’s value, it’s an investment item for her, too!
