If you are a fan of Gucci and you are on Capri, you need to visit their boutique. They offer so many styles not found at other locations and unlike the vast majority of high-end designer stores, the prices are significantly lower. And since you can get the tax back at the airport, the overall price is dramatically lower making it difficult to pass on buying a Gucci handbag, belt, wallet, tote or whatever!
The shop was quite large and they had a very good selection of crossbody bags, satchels, wallets, totes, shoes, sunglasses, belts and clothing even though it was the last week of the season and the shops close on October 31st.
Now truth be told, I'm not a huge Gucci fan; there are other designers I prefer. I do own 2 bags - a solid black tote and black studded crossbody bag with a tassel - and 2 pairs of Gucci sunglasses but I wasn't in the market for another Gucci. There was a slate blue satchel with a bamboo handle that I loved, but of course it was one of the most expensive bags they had. The typical champagne taste on a beer income that always seems to be the case. I enjoyed checking it out but did a catch and release. No regrets.
This was not the case with my girlfriends and their daughters! As soon as we arrived on the island they went straight to Gucci without even pausing to take in the beautiful views or check out any of the magnificent shops along the way! They were on a mission.
And hour and a half later, while I was exploring the gardens, other boutiques, high end hotels and restaurants, they were still in Gucci. When I came back and saw all the Gucci shopping bags lined up and filled with purchases, I had to laugh! It was quite a site and a very good sales day for this Gucci location!
The Kardashian influence was definitely in full swing with the young ladies in our group. They had to have a Gucci belt, which they wore out of the store, and a Gucci bag. Within minutes they were snapping selfies and pics of one another with Capri as the backdrop. They added Megan Traynor's new song, "I could have my Gucci on" to the GIF and posted on Instagram immediately. Welcome to today's world! read more
