Let's talk about the Zumi bag. Gucci are shamelessly promoting it (which only made me suspicious) but OMG this bag is the best thing since... forever IMO.
I saw them last week and it is stunning. Leather-lined, solid and equally classic and edgy.

Like most of Gucci's bags it is a reincarnation of a previous model from decades ago with a 1980s-inspired bi-tone silver/gold hardware (the 2-tone is original to the hw). The hardware may be familiar to you already because it's on some of the Raja line bags, named after the tiger-head. It annoyed me on the Raja because it was competing with that beautiful head, but on the Zumi alone it's gorgeous.
So far there are:
2 sizes of top-handle, Small (it's more medium) or Medium (it's fairly large)
Exotics, snake, ostrich, lizard and croc
I'm showing you all I can in red but there seem to be 2 reds Cerise ad dark red, dark green, ivory, black, 'orange' and camel. They also come in a strawberry print.
Convertible Mini shoulder in a range close to those above
Showing (credit gucci.com) Cerise Small snakeskin, Med grainy leather in Burgundy, Med Cerise smooth (with an interior shot) and Cerise Mini
The handles on the T-Hs are not just straps but properly made and the interior is great. They also have little feet ad are well structured. The smooth leather are slightly heavier than the grainy. The minis have a really pretty chain and a good-size main compartment, a good versatile bag.

I just bought an Hermes so not great timing for me either.
