Gucci White GG Logo Print Collection
The Hysteria line is, as I said yesterday in one of my News posts, the Gucci line everybody will be buzzing about this spring, and I am sure summer as well, but there is another adittion to the Gucci product line. As a part of the spring collection, Gucci has introduced the white logo print in the well known Joy line. I have to admit, I never liked that particular line as much as I never liked the GG logo print. Both Tina and I were dissapointed in Gucci when we saw the Joy Medium Boston. We were not dissapointed indefinitely, nor were we dissapointed in Gucci alltogether, but it did hit a spot we never thought Gucci could. The Hysteria line made it all better though. 
So, even though I have stated my opinion on the GG logo print and the Joy line, I will stay indiferent in this post because I know many many ladies just love it. The Joy line, the more serious part of it, is introduced with large totes, large hobo, medium and small boston bags and the medium tote with double straps in a white GG logo print. The bag that originally caught my attention was that same Medium Boston bag that was the dissapointment, but the thing that caught my attention was not the bag itself, but the detailing. I still feel the same way about the bag as I did before. The embroided black and white flowers make this bag interesting, and for just one second it can distract you from the very familiar shape. And Gucci did its best to bring the bag to a higher level by detailing it with black crocodile trim, which combined with the flower embroidery sent the price soaring up to almost four times the price of the original bag.
The white GG logoprint is combined with the black, yellow and platinum leather trimmings, which is also a novelty. The pink leather trimmings, as the second dominating color in the Gucci spring collection, are available only in the beige/ebony logo print versions. The thing that keeps worrying me about these bags, since they are all white, that they will easily get stained. The slightest mistake and it’s your dollars down the drain. Even if I liked the Joy line I do not think I would consider buying any of them.

I am having a terrible time with my white ‘joy’ medium boston bag (193603 FCIMG 9061). I purchased it about two months ago from the new Gucci flagship store here in New York and it is just about ruined.
I’ve used it only a handful of times, and out of no where dark yellow (like egg yolk yellow) stains have appeared at the corners of the white coated canvas.
I’ve tried spot cleaning it with q-tips and everything from soap/water, fantastic, nail polish remover and even bleach. Nothing even fades the stain. It’s almost as if it is being stained from the inside! My theory is that when I once took it out, it rained, and water seeped in through the seam and the dye from the black liner ran - leaving yellow stains in the corners. I can’t explain it. First one corner and then a week later another corner.
My new white Gucci bag ruined in 2 months!
I am sorry to hear this especially since I know what you’re talking about. It’s like the material complitely absorbed the stain, am I right? I am affraid there’s no helping it as far as I know. It’s a sort of a weakness with this materials but I will nevertheless spread the word and try to get some feedback on that and hopefully contact you with something worth trying with. You do the same, it’s an interesting subject and rather common so thanks for sharing…
Thanks Tina, well let me tell you how the story ends. After talking to a designer friend of mine, she suggested I go to a store called M&J Trim here in New York, and purchase some studs and sow on rhinestones and appliques to cover the stains.
I packed up my Gucci ‘Joy’ Boston bag and some boots that needed work and headed uptown. Dropped off the boots at my shoe guy and realized that I was only a block away from Gucci, so I decided to pop in. I hadn’t done this before because I just couldn’t find my receipt and couldn’t prove purchase.
Well, a sales associate at Gucci asked if I needed help. I showed her the bag and she said nothing could be done as they didn’t do cleaning. I asked her where customer service was and she told me she didn’t think they could help, but she sent me to 54th street, customer service.
Well, the man in customer service gasped when he saw the bag and sympathized with me. He looked me up and there I was in the system (you fill out a little card at Gucci when you make a purchase). He took away my old stained Joy bag and gave me a full refund on a Gucci gift card. I almost cried! This has been weighing on my for 7 months (boyfriend bought it for me as a gift and I had ruined it within 2 weeks!).
Gucci now has a customer for life.
