Default Gao
Does anyone know what the pricing is for a togo GAO and also have you seen it in person - what is your opinion of the bag and how it rests on the body? I haven't been able to find one in a boutique and am considering a second hand one. THANKS!

If memory serves the current Gao price is about $2500+. I tried the Gao once, but it was not my cup of tea. It is easy to carry, tucks under the arm nicely. I just did not like the shape.

I would much rather have the Trim.

Yeah I am very torn between these two bags.

No need to apologize for the OT's. We're all friends here!

Which do you guys like best? Blue Jean Gao or Black Trim?

I'm so hesitant to get a color bag as I wear the modern designer denim that is so dark it leaks and leaks. I would just die if my Hermes had dye on it. Anybody had trouble with that?

All of my bags are black black black.

I haven't had any problems with my BJ but as a shoulder bag it doesn't ever really rub against the denim.

I am doing my research on the Gao bags. Anyone has more pictures to share or someone wearing one?

I am 5ft, so would like to guess how it look like on me
TIA!
