What is this? Do my eyes deceive me? Have I gone delirious from too many hours spent clacking away at my computer keyboard? Have the recession gods chosen to shine down upon us for a brief, fleeting, beautiful moment?
Has Gucci released a leather hobo with a price tag substantially under $1000? Because it looks like that’s exactly what the Gucci Web Guccisima Hobo is.
I’ll be straight with you on this one – it’s not going to win any awards for innovative design. It’s a black leather hobo with Guccisima embossing and a very simple closure. But what it is is perfectly functional and neutral; the kind of bag that every woman needs one of in her closet. It’s a go-anywhere, do-anything sort of purse.
And because of the extra-long lead time between when a bag is designed and when it lands in stores, I doubt this is any sort of nod to the current economic climate. But it is particularly opportune, and maybe a little boring, but a bag that most people would probably find a use for if they had it in their closet. And at this price point, a lot more people can add it to their collection than might have before. Buy through Saks for $875
This is only exciting because of the price. Its good that Gucci has paid attention to the needs of its customers. But the bag is blah.
So, how much?
I bought mine brand new with tags off ebay for $650. I think it retails for $850
Thanks for the info Cara.
I have been checking this bag out to replace my black fabric Gucci. So it worth the buy?
I’m not a Gucci person, but this is a beautiful basic black hobo. I’d buy it and carry it just about anywhere!
I have to have it. Thanks for the info!
Nice bag…..
really functional and nice bag.
Cara, whom did you buy it from on ebay? I have been trying to find it online but I am not sure who to trust :/
I like!!!very understated n multi-functional!!
Hi-
Urooj- I bought it from some random person but paid to have it authenticated on Castira before I purchased.
I will tell you that the guccissima leather is different on this bag than the typical guccissima. It is thinner and lighter. I have the Guccissima chain hobo and it’s MUCH thicker.
The bag is light weight and beautiful. Very comfortable to carry on the shoulder.
Good good price!!
but still too plain and boring.. will give this one a miss! In any case not a fan of Gucci
Urooj-Want to buy mine? I got overzealous at the Gucci outlets last week and bought 2 new bags. Let me know.
hello. have you already sold your Gucci Web Guccisima Hobo? if not, are you still planning to sell it? for how much? thank you very much…

I like this one, you can’t tell it’s gucci from a mile away and that’s a good thing! looks very wearable.
I like this bag, its very functional.
