I got my green one last week and have been carrying every day. It is a lovely, easy bag to use. I've taken it to work, movies, on a flight, dinner, and on errands. I feel like it is an every occasion (except something formal) bag. Very light - stays on the shoulder with the single strap, and molds to the body. The canvas and base are pretty much the same as the St. Louis. The base collapses down. The sides stay up more than the St. Louis because of the way the strap is stitched on, providing some structure for the bag. Highly recommend!
It is interesting to see how Goyard hobo style bag has evolved over the year
Fidgi : Earliest version that i have seen (2006 or earlier?). It is very similar to the current Boheme except the strap is thinner and size bigger. It had some structural issue as the weight of the body often resulted to the strap attached to body cracking.
Grenadine:I remembered it was around 2014? enhanced strap now attached to leather body and hence body is half leather. Leather at corner. And canvas now double layer (like artois). It wasn't popular as this version was heavier and more structured and perhaps more musculine looking. This version was around only for 2 years before being removed.
Boheme: 2022. Everything seems very similar to fidgi except much broader strap and siZe of bag a tab smaller than its predecessors. I am surprised that it is single canvas like saint louis. But i guess it is to make the bag as light as possible and yet having a super sturdy strap.
personally grenadine is my fav cos i am a guy. Lol.

There doesn't seem to be a custom Boheme organizer on the market yet. I got a cheapo one off Amazon. Works pretty well.
I also vote for burgundy. I think it will look a bit more sophisticated with your wardrobe than a red bag.
Hurray! Enjoy.
Thanks for the review! I’ve only had a chance to wear it shopping (but for three hours dorm room shopping, lol) and love it so far!
When I ordered (distantly) from NYC the manager told me it was a 4-6 week wait list but it was more like 2 1/2 weeks before it came in from France and was then shipped to me from NYC.
My gosh! Fabulous~When I ordered (distantly) from NYC the manager told me it was a 4-6 week wait list but it was more like 2 1/2 weeks before it came in from France and was then shipped to me from NYC.
Will have to give that a go. Shall report back.
Btw-- everyone here, so lovely! Thank you for the chat. Been a long time reader, not much of a poster
