Gucci Marmont handbags are becoming an instant favourite. The fresh updated look of the Gucci brand has definitely put Gucci on the map again as the it bag to have. After purchasing the GG Marmont Matelassé Medium handbag, I thought I would get another one that is much smaller. Read below my review of the latest Gucci bag I added to my collection, the Gucci GG Marmont Matelassé Mini Bag.
GG Marmont Matelassé Mini Bag Review
What I Love About The GG Marmont Mini
For those that prefer their designer handbags to go unnoticed the double G closure in the front is definitely not a humble feature of the bag. The oversized GG logo of the Gucci Matelassé mini may be a bit too much for some. I personally love it and it is what makes the bag stand out. I also love the antique matte yellow hardware which is very lightweight and you can easily wear a sleeveless shirt without worrying about the hardware digging into your skin.
What Fits In The Gucci Marmont Mini Bag?
Measuring 8.5″W x 5.5″H x 1″D inches, the GG Marmont Matelassé Mini Bag fits only the essentials, and I mean it! I can fit my cellphone (iphone 10 Max, my keys, a lipstick and maybe a pack of gum if I am lucky. The great thing about the GG Marmont Matelassé Mini Bag is that it has its own card slots and you don’t have to worry about adding a card holder. After I purchased the bag Gucci came out with a slightly bigger version that measures 8″W x 5″H x 2.5″D. That bag also has 16 card slots and two bill compartments, and three separate interior compartments. In contrast, the Marmont Matelassé Mini Bag I purchased has way less credit card slots and only one zip pocket. It is still a functional wallet on a chain bag, and if you are looking for a smaller bag to take out on a girl’s night or a casual evening with your date, the Marmont Matelassé Mini Bag is definitely the right choice.
Should You Buy The Mini GG Marmont Matelassé Bag?
My answer is bias when it comes to the GG Marmont Matelassé Shouler Bag because I am not a fan of small purses. Despite how much I love this GG Marmont Matelassé Mini Bag, the purse gives me anxiety. I have to limit myself to how many items I can bring with me, and honestly, the bag fits only essentials. The size is perfect for a night out or attending an event, where you do not have to bring a lot of things with you, so from that sense I am really happy I purchased the bag.
The Gucci GG Marmont Matelassé mini is pretty simple, but a great investment if you love mini bags. The giant GG definitely dresses up the bag, but if you’re looking for a timeless, sophisticated bag with a modern twist, consider this for your collection!

It's a really nice bag, I'm with you on having troubles limiting what I can carry with me, but at the same time it's good having a smaller purse cause that way we carry only the essential (I think, hahah). Photos are gorgeous!
