Gerard Darel Patent Leather Bags

beauxgoris · Apr 8, 2006

I searched ALL the old GD posts (whew - that took some time) to find out info on his Patent Leather bags - but it seems like no one has one yet.

So i'm just wondering if anyone has seenone IRL? I want to know if the finish is plastic-like or just a shiny version of the black leather.

Any info would be great! I know there are a lot of international women on the PF board who may have seen this up close in real life - also for NYC women, I think they had this one at BG - so maybe someone saw it there?

TIA

I haven't seen one. But I'm curious -- is this the bag (with chain strap) that is in the current Darel ads?

^^yes. I haven't been able to find that one in stores yet. (in the US) I did just order 3 Gerard Darel bags in tan, white, and black though (the Charlotte leather bag) - and will report on them on tuesday.

I'm just interested if anyone had a feedback on patent leather bags I guess.

Thanks divina. I think the patent bag is very pretty in the black and white photos. I wonder how it will look in real life.
