It was only last year at this time that Gucci’s double-G logo belts were an integral part of every fashionistas war chest. Over the course of the past several months, they have become an example of banal style choices. An eagle eye follower, however, reached out and shared stories of her hunt for the notorious Gucci belt. It seems to besold out nearly everywhere.
Nordstrom is sold out. Saks is sold out. Neiman Marcus is sold out. Bloomingdales is sold out. Bergdorf Goodman is sold out. Very peculiar, right?
If you’re in the market for the OG, you can still grab some color varieties on Gucci.com. There are some styles available on LuisaViaRoma. You can find a wide assortment on Ssense. There are even a few color options that are priced a little bit under retail. This brown belt with a gold buckle is $410 from $470. Jomashop has this black belt with a gold buckle for $299 from $470.
The only explanation is that the passe accessory is about to be redesigned and reintroduced. The outstanding question is if Gucci still has the attention of the luxury market.
