Here's the bag open.

I tried to take a pic of the yummy kid-leather inside but it was sooo dark here today - I'll try again with that shot tomorrow

Absolutely awesome reveal, papertiger!!! Congrats on the gorgeous secret!!! btw, is it a UK exclusive secret (they don't seem to have one on the US gucci site)?

papertiger · Oct 24th, 2009, 05:49 PM

I'm afraid with all my travelling I don't have a cute kitty or doggy to enhance my pics so I will ask my vintage rag-doll Madeleine to show you round

Northergirl · Oct 24th, 2009, 05:51 PM

OMG what a beautiful bag! Now I want one. Please show us the inside too.

Thank you GstDreamer

but I think a) I'm afraid the pics came out dark because it was so overcast today (I take better tomorrow as my BF gonna help me - he is a master with the old camera and lights) and b) you can't see how big the beautiful 'lady' is - she's actually 36.5 wide and 32 cm tall

I'm not sure about exclusive to Europe but I was told the bag was a limited edition (and I take those kinda comments with a pinch of salt usually).

I will ask for you if you like. ???

I saw there was one left in Sloane Street - I had to order mine and it had to be shipped in from mainland Europe.

Thank you Northergirl I will try again tomorrow. It was so dark here today. It has the same colour lining as the outside in the softest kid-leather. I don't know if I will ever be able to go back to 'normal' lining again

.

It also has two pockets like most G bags - and judging from the amount of tissue paper stuffing - it holds tons.

The croc trimming and the box leather are top notch and the smell is the best

GhstDreamer · Oct 24th, 2009, 06:09 PM

That's okay papertiger no need to ask but thanks though (I can't afford anything right now anyways - I just spent $1400 today on a pair of boots, a top and a pair of leggings

still need to save for the Gucci sale at the end of november!) so I was wondering. The one of the US site is a really pretty looking bag but yours looks more sophisticated (not that the other one isn't) - I think it's mostly because I really love the all deep brown colour of your bag. btw your vintage doll is cute!

Leather lining is always such a bonus! I remember the old ancient days when I bought Fendi and they had such lovely leather lining!

Thank you Lady Moe

it took me a while - but I got there in the end - you know I ordered this in August!!! And I only managed to get it a couple of weeks ago.

Stunning bag! Really love it.

I was checking these out in the boutique a while back. Enjoy your new Gucci papertiger!

Tell me about it! My next months wages are already spoken for too

. I have not forgotten about the sale - and we have the holidays to get through.

Love to see the boots GD

Gucci or not Gucci

I bought Madeline from a market in Nice, she looks like she's from the 1960s, she is the keeper of the bed.

This is the Havana Gucci Secret Flap. It even has little cute brass feet. I feel that my pic do not begin to do it justice - that's such a shame. I will try again.

Thank you so much Cosmopolitan and mandabeezy

Cosmopolitan - I guess you have answered GhstDreamers question - they are available on the other side of the Atlantic

papertiger · Oct 24th, 2009, 06:25 PM

Here's truly a terrible modelling pic - it's impossible to hold a mirror and camera and a bag at the same time - and to shoot in the dark is disastrous

I'll post it anyway and try for better soon

La Comtesse · Oct 24th, 2009, 06:39 PM

Gorgeous bag! Can't wait for the interior shots as well. Congratulations!

Well the Secret bags I have seen here were the green leather/green croc/beige canvas version and the black leather/black croc/beige canvas version. Not sure if I have seen one here like yours, with a leather body.
