LET'S REVIEW GUCCI'S NEW GG MATELASSE COLLECTION OF PUFFY BAGS! INSPIRED BY BOTTEGA VENETA & DIOR?

Gucci just released a new collection of GG Matelasse bags (and finally jumped onto the luxury puffy handbag trend), so let's talk about these puffy bags! Now although this trendy collection has some beautiful styles, colorways, and materials, I couldn't help but notice a LOT of similarities between certain handbags, and other luxury bags like the Bottega Veneta Padded Cassette Bag, the Louis Vuitton Coussin Bag, and the Christian Dior Vanity Case. Do you see some of the similarities too, or am I reading too much into it? Stay tuned to hear all of my honest, unfiltered thoughts about this new collection! The initial launch of the GG Matelasse collection is predominately focused on puffy leather handbags of all different shapes and sizes, some are classic styles, while others are more trendy styles. We'll review all of the bags in this collection (and I'll also explain what "Matelasse" actually means). You'll see that there are a good mix of different straps made up of gold chains, leather straps, and fabric guitar straps/seatbelt straps. There are also a few other SLGs that we'll review too. I didn't see any shoes on the site, but I wonder if they'll add some matelasse shoes over time? What do you think about Gucci's take on the new puffy/quilted handbag trend? Do you like these bags, and/or do you plan on getting one soon? Also, do you feel like Gucci really stretched themselves with this collection, or are some of the bags far too similar of of other popular Dior, Louis Vu
