The smaller one is the one I referenced earlier in this thread. It is a great size for an average day of carrying. I have two of them because I love it so much for its look, size, and practicality. The pocket on the outside easily holds a smartphone/phone. the inside you would definitely have room for what was listed above. I put in a checkbook and two smaller wallets, and I have room leftover.

I'm looking at buying a Gigi now. Im a silver h/w gal but antique brass is so pretty and I now own a wallet and Preston with antique brass. I always loved the look of the 65th anniversary bags. Just wondering if I really want to pay that much but i figure its an investment piece. Lol

As much as I liked the few bags I bought on ebay, I am now starting to donate mine. One of mine developed the verdigris around the hardware pretty bad, and I don't have the patience to keep up with it. Another one started bleeding on the inside lining--normally I can run a wet cloth over the legacy lining with no issues, but it started bleeding the green onto the white for whatever reason.

I have one left now...if it doesn't develop verdigris more I will keep it, but it started having small issues with that recently, so we will see. I love the look of them too, but I just want a problem free handbag :-)

It has something to do with the type of leather and the hardware on those bags, and exposure to moisture and/or humidity? I think if you do a search on the forum you can find a better explanation, but it was a common issue. Most of the threads I saw said it was more of a problem on the whiskey color, but I also have it starting on rose pink.
