Sweetea,
I was wondering if the white gaucho is very shiny like the picture? Is the leather the same as fendi spys?? I looked at your picture and feel like the leather is sort of plastic-looking. And I heard that it's not really that white. I am so confused now... I'm thinking of getting the gaucho tote in white or red. Thanks!
Wellow,the leather is not very shiny but it has a natural shade of the shiny a little but not very shiny. The leather is not the same type of Fendy spy bag. Fendy's spy is made from lambskin or napa leather (someone can correct me here if I am wrong) so the spy is more fragile. The gaucho's leather is more durable (they made from calf leather). I love the way the leather feel, it looks very durable yet you can feel the softness of the leather. About the color I wanted to warn you so you won't be shock when you see it the first time. When the first time I saw the bag, the white color wasn't as I expected to be! In fact I was a little disappointed. I told the SA eeew that's like a dirty white or as Daisy called it dingy white

. I wasn't impressed at all but then..after I tried it and looked at, tried it again, and I fell in love. Actually with this natural or off white color like this, I am less worry about my bag getting dirty easily and I found out that I can use this bag with so many of my outfits. This is what I think about the whole bag, the color and the style; this bag is for a casual, and it made to look like an outdoor bag. It is called gaucho and it has a cowboy influence I think. It is different but it is chic and very stylish. At the end it depends how you like the bag looks on you and how much you love the bag? If you love it like I do, you will use this bag often and you feel so good when you carry that bag around. I hope this helps and good luck on your choice of color!
