Hello,
The Griet is indeed a beautiful bag. I purchased it some years ago, mainly for the compartments and I loved the red microfibre lining and was often complimented on it.
However, I sold it as was fed up with the strap closure... found it cumbersome to close/open it - if you leave it open over the bag the noise of the metal clinking was quite annoying.
That said, can understand that you are drawn to it, you would have to purchase pre-loved though.
Hope this helps and good luck with your decision!
