I guess GP is more practical for all of the abovefor work, daily, travel and shopping
I have both and in those sizes.Pls help me choose, I cannot decide which one to go for. I plan to use for work, daily, travel and shopping. I have separate bag for laptop and water bottle.
What works better for you functionally? I prefer a GP but it has negatives.
A bolide will close and has a strap, a GP won’t fully close with no strap.
Bolide 35 has less space due to shape. GP opens fully at the top so it’s easier to see and find items.
Bolide 35 has feet on the bottom and a GP does not.
Bolide is leather lined and GP is a light canvas so could get dirty easily. Some GPs also lose shape depending on how it is cared for.
I do not own a GP but I do have a Bolide & I find it very useful & functional in my wardrobe.
What color is available to you & what leather in the Bolide might help you make a decision, JMO
I’m about your height. I have a GP36. It is quite bulky and can be very heavy when stuffed. The upside is l can stuff everything in it, including a laptop and change of clothes. The snap closure can be undone to fill the bag. But for practical purposes, you can’t stuff it if you are going to carry it around for very long. It also looks funny when shoulder carried because the straps are not really that long. Your armpits will look suffocated, 😆. Can’t comment about the bolide as l don’t own one.Dear ladies, thanks for your comment, just to mention, the available are etoupe garden party 36, rouge casaque bolide 35.
What I have already own,
Garden party 30, Evelyn mini, Evelyn PM, all Noir.
I also own from other brands the following, medium Dior lady, Chanel medium flap, Chanel Woc, Chanel GST, Lv Epi Alma PM, Gucci soho disco bag, all in black color. And a few more LV Never full PM, YSL WOC in beige and clutch in black.
I am 5’3, normal build.
Etoupe is a good neutral, but Rouge Casaque in Clemence is gorgeous & it will add that pop of colorGP 36 in Etoupe , Negonda leather
