It’s hard to believe that Alessandro Michele has only been the creative director at Gucci for about a year and a half. Almost immediately, Michele transformed the brand into one of the buzziest companies in fashion; his first full collection was so successful that Gucci didn’t even need to have a sale at the end of the season. Things at the brand have been humming along beautifully ever since, and the latest evidence of that is Gucci’s gone-in-a-flash capsule collection for Net-a-Porter.
The 18-piece exclusive line debuted on Net-a-Porter’s site Monday and included ready-to-wear, bags, shoes and small accessories in a gorgeous vintage floral that won’t be available anywhere else (and that would probably look like your grandma’s couch in a less capable designer’s hands). At close of business Monday, ten of the pieces had fully sold out, including all the leather goods, and all the sized merchandise left was nearly gone.
There is some good news if you missed out, though: many of the pieces are marked with “more stock coming soon,” so if you see something you like, we suggest heading over to the collection’s page and adding your desired piece to your Net-a-Porter account’s wish list. Doing so will give you the right of first refusal upon restock, which is the ideal position to be in when shopping a very limited-edition capsule collection from one of the world’s hottest handbag brands.

Never thought I would want a pair of floral sneakers ha!
I think the sneakers are the best of the bunch (pun intended!)… the rest still look “old lady-ish” to me, and I’m older myself 🙂

I never liked printed leather. It always seem like its trying to hide something.
Gunny Sacks, 1980.
The print does go into “Grandma’s curtains” territory, but it’s still vastly more attractive than Gucci’s monogram canvas, which is incapable of looking anything other than dated and cheap.
I really like a lot of Gucci but THANK YOU for saying that pattern is BLECH! Totally mumsy. And mono canvas from any brand looks dated, overexposed and cheap. (LV, yes, I’m looking at you.)
I currently make about 6000-8000 dollars /a month from working online at home. Those who are looking to do basic computer-based work for 2h-5h a day from your home and make valuable payment for doing it… This is a work for you… http://ur1.ca/p7vw7

So chintzy. I now regret throwing my old sofa covers when I could probably refashion them into stuff (a tote bag? an ipad cover?) seeing that these patterns are tres en vogue right now… Ah… regret. Why do you always have to come so late.
Surprisingly nice.
