I purchased this at the Gucci outlet in NewYork many, many years ago and it’s just been sitting for the last several years. It has been used but is in great condition. This is an authentic Gucci purse; however it was purchased at a Gucci outlet. I personally do not see any quality issues with the purse but not sure the extent of outlet bags. It will come with the dust bag. This purse is beautiful and has some weight to it. The embroidery is so pretty.
