Gucci Soho Disco Bag Review

(Contains affiliate links)

I’ve developed something of a penchant for handbags of late, luxury handbags specifically. Luxury anything actually, but handbags are my vice. I had been lusting after this bag for the longest time. After deciding that it had been on my wish list for long enough I was all set to head to Edinburgh and make her mine. I am of course talking about the Gucci Soho Disco Bag.

My love for this bag was no secret and on Christmas morning as I was unwrapping my final gift, what should I see. A beautiful black and white box complete with a hand-tied bow looking back at me. I suddenly felt my heart race increasing and butterflies setting in. Could it be? Surely not?! Sure enough, it was. Jack went above and beyond when he surprised me with this. I felt so overwhelmed by it my eyes teared up. It was so unexpected.

I’m so excited to finally own this beauty. I am so in love with her.

Let’s take a closer look at her.

The design is a simple rectangular crossbody style with an adjustable strap. She comes in three colours, black, which is what I have, nude and red. Occasionally Gucci released other limited edition seasonal colours. I feel that bags like this are classic and timeless designs that never go out of style. We are seeing a lot more compact bags like this one but I do feel this one is the iconic camera bag style that started the trend off.

The material is made from natural grain leather with the interlocking GG embossed on the front. It has soft muted gold hardware and a black leather tassel from the zip. The leather feels really high quality and with it having the pebbled texture I feel like it would be really hard-wearing and durable too.

On the inside, it is one large compartment with two small slip pockets stitched into the main fabric. On one pocket you have a small leather tag with the brand name on in the same leather as the bag. The off white inside fabric feels thick and durable and I feel it would be hard-wearing against our day-to-day bag contents.

Functionality and Wearability

It is the simplicity of this bag that I adore. It lends itself perfectly to any outfit and any occasion. She can be casual day-to-day, shopping, or brunch dates while also perfect for evening cocktails with the girls. I feel that this bag is really well thought out and functional whilst also being both stylish and chic. I love the structured design and it feels sturdy enough to retain its shape use after use.

Gucci launched this bag in 2014 and it has definitely stood the test of time. The classic design means it’s a great bag for so many people.

This is my kind of bag, I love a great functional crossbody. It has already fitted perfectly into my life and I know I’ll get so much use out of it. Of course, this is a compact handbag but it is deceptively roomy inside. I can get everything placed inside that I need day-to-day with plenty of wiggle room. Due to the structured design, I feel my contents all fit really well inside too. I’ve added photos of the bag filled. My bag on a day-to-day basis usually holds a purse, cardholder, glasses, lip balm, hand cream, keys, hand sanitiser, headphones, and my iPhone 11 Pro Max for reference.

If you’re thinking about adding a luxury bag to your wardrobe, the Gucci Soho Disco bag would be a great place to start. It’s a great all-rounder I feel.

• Diameter 7cm
• Adjustable leather strap 55cm drop on longest setting.

Overall I couldn’t be happier with her, this is my perfect style of bag. I’m a crossbody gal so this fits into my life seamlessly, it is the perfect size for my essentials and then some. My style is pretty casual and laid back which this is great for, but on dressier occasions, she is also right at home.

Of course, it is a lot of money for a bag compared with high street counterparts. As this is a luxury bag I don’t feel the price is the worst when you look at other bags. In the world of high-end bags, anything under the £1000 mark might even be considered good value. Due to the classic design and the length of time, this bag has been around and its increasing popularity means that it will retain a lot of value. This is something I always consider before making a luxury purchase.

As with anything you buy, an item is only worth what you’re prepared to pay for it. For me, this bag is completely worth it, and I’d say the same if I had bought it for myself.
