Most of the Gucci for Net-a-Porter Collection Sold Out Instantly

If you woke up this morning hoping to get your hands on something from the Gucci for Net-a-Porter exclusive collection, you may have noticed that most pieces are already sold out (including these sneakers, as we predicted). The romantic antiqued floral and whimsical heart prints that adorn most of the pieces can only be purchased through the site, and the buzz around the collection has been deafening. On the bright side, most of the sold-out pieces have a note below them saying that more stock is coming soon, so add your favorites to your Net-a-Porter wish list ASAP, and/or just stalk the site. We're guessing items will continue to quickly come and go! (We're particularly fond of this leather shoulder bag.)

Keep scrolling to shop our favorites pieces that are still in stock—but act fast.
