Thank you La Comtesse - I'll do my best

Ah OK, so it might be a Europe only thing after all. I'm still quite tempted by the large brown leather/croc horizontal zip-up version with the GG canvas - but not only do I doubt it will be in the sale (and they are selling very well) but all the prices went up on the 15 Oct and another bag this year would just be crazy since I never get rid of any - especially if you see how many I already bought this year (not in flipchick's league of course)

Check back tomorrow and I'll try to do a 'this year additions family pic' and a 'Gucci Group extended family pic'.

BTW guys there are more Secrets out for Cruise including an all-white version (I don't think my poor heart could take that though - the brown Secret is high enough maintenance for me

)

Is there anyone who's been on the Gucci forum for 5 minutes in the past couple of months who doesn't know?

I've never seen that bag before actually. I saw your quick post that you were getting something but I haven't really hung out on the chat thread too much.

In any case, she's a beauty!!! Congrats!

Thank you so much love2shop.

I'm really happy I've brought you a new bag to see then, perhaps it really is a Europe-only model.

**Chanel** · Oct 24th, 2009, 07:24 PM

You did it! Just saw your reveal, it's a beautiful bag, great choice! Not sure if my spy eye works correct anymore because it's night here but do I spy a H. bracelet

?
Congratulations again and enjoy your beauty, you deserve it, I know how bad you wanted it

papertiger · Oct 24th, 2009, 07:33 PM

OMG **CHANEL** you HAVE the eye girl!!! How could you even see me in the pic let alone my bracelet?

That IS and H enamel bangle it co-ordinates with my La 'Femme aux Semelles de Vent' scarf A++ for you **CHANEL**

My pics could be better. I don't know about in Holland but the weather in the UK today has been overcast and miserable - hopefully tomorrow I can take a couple of better pics

Beenie · Oct 24th, 2009, 07:51 PM

Wow papertiger it is as gorgeous as I had imagined! Thanx for the show!

Woo-hoo! A modeling pic! I also find it tough to take a pic modeling a bag too - it gets all blurry and fuzzy and I totally blame the camera!!!

I hate Gucci for coming out with such a fantastic Cruise collection - it makes me obsess even more than I should like the G Coin medium hobo (and I'm usually not even a fan of the hobo style!).

It prob is your camera - but I know it's not mine, its a fanfastic camera - just too fantastic for me. There's the apperture and the shutter speed and the film speed - oh and the lense and the b***dy zoom. I'm afraid it definatley me - well, except that I blame the weather!!!

I know, and just before the sale too. But I have so many bags Gucci and other, large, medium and small. One more clutch, a fab new wallet and a white cruise travel bag and I might be done for Gucci '10. I love my tabaco med horse-bit hobo - if you gonna get a hobo it might as well be Gucci because no one makes them better. Bostons and hobos are my downfall - oh and anything with a horse bit on it LOL Even CHANEL has done Madame proud for this year's Cruise collection. I'm moving into small precious items soon

- I've got no more space - never mind the cash!!!

Bagladee · Oct 24th, 2009, 09:22 PM

papertiger that bag is absolutely STUNNING!!!!!!! I was calling US boutiques earlier this afternoon and no one knew what I was talking about and so I am pretty sure there are none in the US. If anyone sees one though, please let me know. I LOVE this bag. I would love to see the inside too. I understand the whole overcast thing as I live in the pacific northwest. We are heading into our rainy season.

Congrats and enjoy your new beauty!!!!

papertiger · Oct 24th, 2009, 09:34 PM

Thank you Bagladee,

Yes, if you get to see one IRL they are 1000 X better than my pics

. Apart from the high maintenance issues - this seems like a bag fit for life time of occasional wear - I can see myself using this for decades. It's a real treat, even for a Gucci bag.

I think if I take it out shopping or the like I will have to tuck in the flap in the inside (as I've seen some ladies do on the Birkin and even a small Kelly) and not undo and do-up the bag a hundred times

llson · Oct 24th, 2009, 10:05 PM

Gorgeous bag, congratulations!!

beejerry · Oct 24th, 2009, 11:33 PM
