I just bought this bag recently, your video convinced me. And surprise, it came with a strap keeper!😄

[@heartmumblr]

That is amazing!!! I saw it in the blue Ophidia version but so glad they updated the original one too! YAY!!!! 🥳I hope you’re enjoying your bag and thank you so much for watching!!! 🌟🤗❤️

[@bobolikitten]

Great video! Those cons are real and I’d feel the same way, but ultimately, I’d overlook them because that bag is so beautiful and functional. Have a great weekend.

[@heartmumblr]

Thanks Michelle! Yeah I’ve definitely been overlooking it for now but I think I’ll want to eventually replace it one day when I know I see the right Ophidia 😉 But totally agree, the size is perfect and it’s so beautiful! Thanks so much for watching and enjoy your weekend! ✨❤️

[@fuchsiafloyd]

Thanks so much for this honest review-very helpful!

[@heartmumblr]

So glad you found it helpful! ✨❤️

[@ItsOnlyWarPaint]

I have the matching cosmetic bag and key pouch, I like the casual glam vibe it gives

[@heartmumblr]

I totally agree! It’s such an old school glam and I love it! 🤩✨❤️

[@xkikiki]

Oooh love the look of old school gucci (eg. monogram with the green and red webbing)! I'm going over my collection and pondering if i need to purge anything too... (i know you arent going to with this one but still) Gotta reevaluate the pros cons every once in a while hehe TYFS!💖 kiki

[@heartmumblr]

Yes for sure! I love a good purge and I suspect one day this one will be replaced but not until I find the ultimate Ophidia! 😚 Thanks so much for watching Kiki! ✨❤️

[@FIERCE50PLUS]

I am so drawn to the ophidia print. It’s a very cute and timeless bag - the zipper would bug me, too. TFS!

[@heartmumblr]

Yes I absolutely love the Ophidia print too! If the zipper issue was better, I would deal with the strap issues but I think the zipper bothers me more (sigh). Thank you so much for watching and sharing your thoughts! ✨❤️

[@viridianglow]

tried this bag on in store today and totally agree about the cross body strap! I wish it had connections on the sides, it feels clunky as-is. Also, I tried on the small handbag (the one with the chain strap, and comes with longer web crossbody that is removable). that one is great except for how wide the crossbody strap is. What is up with Gucci and the disappointing straps! ultimately my favorite was the mini crossbody BUT, the handbag version is more versatile/a little bigger. I'm still thinking it over but will probably go with the small handbag over the tote and mini crossbody...

[@heartmumblr]

So great you had a chance to try it on beforehand, that will def help you avoid buyers remorse! Thank you so much for watching and sharing your thoughts! 🌟🤗❤️

[@luznetsyvelez783]

Me too, i prefer the straps on the sides!

[@heartmumblr]

Exactly! 🙌 Thanks so much for watching! 🌟🤗❤️

[@LadyVintageBags]

Oh interesting about the strap twisting! My vintage Gucci ophidia camera bag has the same problem! My vintage bag also doesnt have a strap keeper and it looks a bit messy with my flailing strap aswell!

[@heartmumblr]

Oh man yeah that’s annoying isn’t it?! It’s the easiest update for them to make too so it’s such a shame it’s a missed opportunity to do better (sigh). Thank you so much for watching and sharing your thoughts! I’ve recently been enjoying your videos! ❤️xo, Sharon

[@ilariama82]

Love that you love Gucci 😊 how is your green bag quest going? I have been looking at the Lameire croissant small bag in light green and I really like it 🙈

[@heartmumblr]

Ooh I haven’t seen the LEMAIRE bag in light green! Sounds so dreamy!! Yes Gucci is my first love and I have always loved the brand 🤩i especially love their clothes too bec it can range from being super funky to super classy ❤️I recently went into Gucci to try on the green bag I was eyeing and I was sadly underwhelmed. It is so beautiful but I didn’t love it enough to buy 🥲 But I have to make another video soon after my next couple that are already scheduled to give an exciting update! 😍

[@ilariama82]

@@heartmumblr I can't wait!!! Deep down I hope you somehow found the green Capucines 🥰

[@heartmumblr]

@@ilariama82 😉Ahhhhhh!!!! 🤩I will definitely have to update you! ❤️

[@SK-qy7gg]

Hi, I had one similar to your tote bag but in beige colour. May I know any idea to shorten the strap as my height only 155cm. Too long for me

[@heartmumblr]

If it’s still too long in the shortest setting, maybe take it to a shoe cobbler who can punch a couple of extra holes in the strap? That could help shorten more. Hope that helps!

[@ItsOnlyWarPaint]

Not ideal…….but what about a clear hair tie on the strap to keep it in place, unless you can put your own piece of leather on it

[@heartmumblr]

Ah one of those tiny clear hair ties might actually work, I hadn’t thought of that! Thank you! 🙏 😉

[@ItsOnlyWarPaint]

Run some grease proof paper aka parchment paper along the zip, that can help sometimes

[@heartmumblr]

I will have to try that! ❤️

[@lovebug83flower36]

I have the same bag for a few years too. I also hate the strap because it only has one loop. So irritating to wear. I wish I had another strap. But other than that I love the bag too. Tfs❤

[@heartmumblr]

Bags twins! 🙌 👯‍♀️ Ugh the straps are the worst 😭 And if the zipper had a tail I would put up with the strap issue (sigh). At least the bag is gorgeous, haha! Thank you so much for watching! ✨❤️

[@annakim5589]

Those are serious cons that would be deal breakers for me. It sure did not go through a thorough usability test! Otherwise it is a cute bag. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and helping us with a really great review.

[@heartmumblr]

I agree, if I had known about these issues beforehand I probably would’ve waited for a better designed Ophidia. I love the line bc it’s so classic but these issues do bug me (sigh). Thank you so much for watching! ✨❤️

[@cherbs1207]

Lovely bag, but I can see why you would get frustrated with the strap. Do you have another strap in your collection that you can use with this bag? Or, maybe Gucci has other straps that you can buy to wear with that bag. I also thought you did a fine job explaining the “tail” on the zipper. I agree, that would make a world of difference. Good video. Take care, ~Christina

[@heartmumblr]

Aww thank you so so much! Appreciate you watching and sharing your thoughts! ✨❤️

[@MelissaAdams-Wade]

This is a bag that I’ve considered in the past. I think I would carry it top handle and leave it unzipped. More of a tote style

[@heartmumblr]

If the top handle drop was a bit longer I wouldn’t mind doing that either. it’s so beautiful it’s such a shame 🥲 Alas, first world problems lol 😆 Thanks so much for watching!

[@reen964]

I love the Ophidia dome bag but the strap without a strap keeper is super annoying. Very messy when it dangles flapping away. Don’t understand why Gucci cant even include a wee bit leather keeper .

[@heartmumblr]

Seriously, right?! Seems like basic handbag design 101 🤯It’s such a beautiful bag otherwise, such a shame some minor fixes could’ve made a world of difference. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! ✨❤️

[@DaniOchannel]

What about getting the cobbler to make you a strap keeper instead of cutting the strap?😊

[@heartmumblr]

That’s actually a much smarter idea lol 😂 Thanks Dani! 😆
