Omg. Very nice. I remember trying this bag on when it came out years ago, but in the cognac'ish color.

Looks great on you.

Thanks! Definitely one of my favourite bags from the Dior women's collection. The Gaucho is actually the bag style that I bought the most variations of. It must be a testament to how much I liked it back then. Aside from my 3 in the past (and now this one), I also got my mom some, although most are now sold. She now only has the mini shoulder flap version in black which she still uses sometimes. She clipped the charms off of that one because she didn't like the rattling, so I now have extra charms for my bags, or pendants for a necklace :smile:

Thankfully the charms on this XL one don't rattle, because the bag is handheld. My messenger versions rattled all the time, and I had to cup the charms as I walked to not draw attention to myself.

No. It's a much older style, and one of my all-time favourites.

Introducing my Gaucho XL zipped tote, brand new with tags (which is hard to find 10 years after the bag was launched):

The price was nice BUT after conversion and duties, I almost paid twice the value of the US price in CDN dollar. Yikes!

I sold all my Gaucho bags in the past, including a black version of this tote. The black one I got was also from Ebay, but whoever owned it before didn't take good care of it. The leather was stiff, and the zipper and handles had been repaired, too. So I sold it. I sold the messenger styles too (black and brown) because I stopped using messenger bags with the exception of two in my collection (I now prefer bags with hand-carry handles). I missed the Gaucho leather, and have been looking for another XL Gaucho tote on Ebay since. A few came and went, all either in not-so-good condition, or the price was too high. So when I came across this, unused, and in a colour that I don't have in my collection, I caved.

I cut the tag off (it seemed like the seller got it from the Dior outlet) and wore it out today in the sweltering heat. Wanted to wear my new Ferragamo sandals but the forecast called for rain (didn't want to ruin my new sandals) so I wore something water-proof instead. I don't mind this Gaucho getting rained on, though, because the leather is washed anyway. I'm hoping it darkens a bit with more use.

Wow, didn't expect the bag to be as big as it is from the first two photos. Great find!

Love your Gaucho! I have the same color scheme in a large Gaucho zipped tote but in python and croc though mine is a tiny bit smaller. I may have to pull it out of the archives this week lol. Feeling very inspired.

The off-white croc and python combination is phenomenal! It also came in this XL size and I would love to get my hands on it.
