Many of us have changed the way or frequency in which we carry our bags in the past year. While I have been going into my closet and taking out my bags more recently (I missed them!), I have also changed the way I run errands like grocery store runs. I rarely go to the store with a larger bag now, because I am going there on a mission to grab what we need and make the visit quick. I typically have a pouch with me, small enough to slide under my arm and hold my keys and credit cards and typically a small hand sanitizer.
Last week I saw a thread on our forum with a user sharing her new Gucci Key Pouch and the items that fit inside. A few others chimed in that they too had this pouch and loved it. So I did what any bag lover would do, I ran (with my fingers on my keyboard) to Gucci.com to check it out for myself. And what I saw, I loved.
Downsizing our bags to mere necessities for quick in and outs of stores simply makes sense, and I feel like I should have done this pre-pandemic. I actually don’t love taking my bags to a store where I need to place it in a cart, it always seems like the cart could damage the leather or have some residue that could stain my bags as well. And carrying a bag under the arm while picking up a lot of items is annoying (crossbody bags are good in this instance). A key pouch just makes sense and it seems this might be the ideal option.
The Gucci Ophidia GG Key Pouch brings the Gucci house elements that are recognizable and loved, including the beige/ebony GG Supreme canvas, brown leather trim, and the green and red web stripe which pays homage to the brand’s roots together on a compact accessory. There’s a metal key hook and zipper closure with overall dimensions of 5.5″W x 3″H x 1″D. The tPF member who shared this showed it fits her car key, singlet hand sanitizer pouches (which work great against spills), cash, and credit cards. It looks to me like there would be room for a lipstick/lipgloss as well. This takes me back to my college days of carrying a small pouch/case when I went out, and though times have changed, sometimes simplifying our lives – even when it comes to running into the store – is a good move to make. Price is $390.
Is this key pouch discontinued? It’s not on the Gucci website.
Can anyone confirm if a card case would fit in here? I can see myself putting my key holder on the clip to make more room for a card case.
I know that Gucci is somewhat looked down on by TPFers relative to other premium brands, but I love the G canvas a lot.
It’s cute….I love it!,
It’s super cute! Once I saw it, I was like hum do I need this too?!
Yes, you do and I hope Gucci is listening! ?
I need a kisslock version of this
Ohhh I would love that too!
I think the leather version is cuter BUT in either case I just never have been able to justify getting a key fob holder. If it’s very few things I’m carrying, either they fit in my pocket or mini Evelyne. I just don’t find key holders any easier to carry than, well, fobs. I guess the idea is I snap them onto my jeans or something but at that point, how is it different (to me) than having my fob in my pocket and mini sanitizer/credit card in the other one? Or, if it doesn’t fit, carrying my little Evelyne?
I wish I had a use-case for these, I really do. So far, no go.
I have been preferring to carry no bag which is why a little pouch like this works (granted, your mini Evelyn sounds perfect!). I can clip it to my pants or even stick it in my pocket, not a great look, but it works 🙂
I love that last bit… “not a great look, but it works”. Everyone has those days, lol!
Hi! I purchased this key pouch a couple of months ago on PM. I haven’t used it and just took it out yesterday and noticed that the Gucci stamp on the pulltap of the zipper is spelled backwards. My heart sunk. Is this a fake? thanks!
Hi all, I’m in UK and really need this. Does anyone know where I can buy one Preloved please? Thank you
