I wanted to take a family shot and chose bags representing different types of HH leathers... please correct me if my references here are incorrect.

Left to Right, Top to Bottom...

Gaza hobo in Taupe (washed lamb leather, I believe?)
Trophy in Black (smooshy cow leather)
Corcovado in Khaki Patent
Marcel in Black Zeus w/ VCP, ICP and GZ accents
Dominique in Bark (more of a semi-glazed leather, imo)

Trophy Satchel vs Trophy ! In these pics, both are fairly full.

#2 has the Trophy naturally puddled, while in #3, I'm holding the Trophy up by the handles.

The base of each bag is roughly the same size, but the T narrows on top. I believe the side pockets are slightly smaller on the TS, but not by much. The front flap is just a bit shallower on the TS, but again, not by much.

Also - hard to tell in my pics, sorry - I found one hardware difference. The rings holding the handle on the T are round, while on the TS they're D-shaped. Not a huge deal, but now that I see it... I prefer the D rings.

I bought 2 in the first NY round then stayed strong and resisted all the rest. I used one for my phantom Trophy and have one last one that I've now earmarked for the TS!

Love the family photo, mango!

I wanted to point this out... it looks like the front leather and between-compartment leather is different colors, but they're not. They are different textures though (front is pebbly, in-between is more smooth).

And... a special thank you to my DS, who (somewhat) patiently waited for his dinner while Mommy resized, organized, and uploaded pics to tPF so that her friends could see the GS TS!

Here's a pic of him in a potential Halloween costume, LOL! (thanks for indulging me!)

Adorable!

nomoreroom · Oct 8th, 2009, 01:46 AM

Wow. I'm speechless. So many great pix.

It's interesting that it doesn't look much smaller than the original Trophy.

Gonna be hard to decide between this and the Biblio. Though I can't really afford either right now. At least with all the delays, I'll have more time to save up!
