Thanks!
They are absolutely gorgeous! I am looking for a GM all leather. My store sold the only one that they ordered! They didn't think people want them big but with tote bags, I love them big. The lining is a cloth herringbone, not sure about inserts, think there is a zipper one.
Pro's: lots of nice colors, durable, holds a lot, floopy and therefore easy to carry around and fits nicely under the seat in front of you on an airplane, easy to accessorize with cute keychains or scarves, pretty light in weight, just a great casual, kick-around bag.
Cons: no feet--that's the biggest drawback; secondarily, the whole bag, including the bottom, is quite supple, so if it's filled with a lot of stuff it can become misshapen. I put a cardboard form in the bottom and it helps.
I'm glad to know it comes in a GM, Airmess; my SA thought it only comes in a PM, which is the size I have. It's a textured leather. Good luck, frozen_alaska!

One of the SAs in the store bought the GM when she went to Paris for training, when I asked how big it is, my SA asked her colleague for her GM GP to show it to me. It's gorgeous and this size, you can really wear it on your shoulder but it's HUGE and I'm going to use it as my gym bag most of the time. I'm sure I'll find other uses for it.
And yes, you are absolutely right about no feet and the bottoms will sag when it's loaded up. But I love the casual look and feel of it in leather, so will be on the lookout for it!
I just got mine in the larger size. There are 2 sizes available for the all leather GP at the moment. I love the bag. It is light and can hold a lot of things!
Unfortunately no, my SA took the store catalog out but no measurements were given and I didn't want to measure the other SA's bag.
I have measurements (in inches, 1 inch = 2.54cm) for the others though
1. TPM with strap
12L x 8H x 5.25W
2. PM
14L x 10.25H x 6.5W
3. MM
16.75L x 11.5H x 7.5W
4. GM
Missing this one
I got the above measurements from the Hermes.com USA site. I have seen all 4 sizes and if I have to make a guess, the GM is probably 19L x 13H x 8.5W (inches).
