I had a look at the large. Think of it like a relaxed Bouvier. Still cool in the city, but weekend or off-duty vibes.
The leather is soft but calf, so not a puddle. I was seriously interested, it looks like good value.
BTW, the purple (violet) is gorgeous in the Med.
Edited: The leather is GOAT

Thank you so much!
I am *very* interested in the purple, it looks very close to Hermes's anemone in the pictures.
I watched the runway show, amazing! Would you happen to know if the one on the runway is the large or the medium?
Yes, it's close to anemone.
The Cosmogonie (Resort '23) Aphrodites were Large.
This is with the lengthening strap, without, you can carry it directly under the arm.
Thank you for sharing! I fell in love with the practicality of this bag, and the purple color! I've tried it in store and nearly bought it right away. But I'm struggling with the huge logo buckle... thinking of buying it and keep the whole buckle INSIDE the bag, so you can't see the logo. But, is that crazy?? 
I love all other aspects of it, especially how carefree it is and it fits my iPad.

I don't think the buckle is huge.
I was thinking about the red.
BTW, if you're thinking about the med purple don't wait too long, I can see from Gucci's inventory (in Europe at least) they have made very few in the purple or the green). They'll also go up soon.
Thank you for your reply Papertiger!
Red looks incredible. I love the color options!You're absolutely right, sorry I didn't word that very well. The logo isn't huge, but there IS a logo. I feel so self conscious with any branding at all (even though I live in Beverly Hills), and on the purple one it really stands out. But I really love it. Thank you for the tip on stock and price increase. I will go buy it or order it today!
For those who haven't tried it in store and are curious about the closure.. the magnet is really strong – it's not going to randomly open.
Happy Thanksgiving!
You were so right, it is now sold out in my local store. So I ordered it online for in-store pickup on Monday! 
Oy, this bag is tempting me so much! I tried it on in Harrod's. It's in a form factor that I love. And I am in London to Sunday, where I can get it cheaper than in the US. I may have to take the plunge.
That purple would be really tempting but it doesn't look like that color's available in the UK. I will be basic and probably go with black, maybe the (brownish?) gray one
Purple showing in Selfridges (limited availability - which usually mean 2 or less). Just call T:+44 2038850684 to reserve
That brown (2528) is one of Gucci's original (heritage) colours. My 1960s jewellery box is in that colour in boar-skin but it goes to their first pieces in the 1920s.
Black is always, always gorgeous
Also, not for me but...
a new size is coming in. This is the Small, a very Y2K 'fashionable' shape and size with the more prominent hardware (for the size) and tuck-under-the-arm look.

Hi! Does anyone know how’s the large sized compared to the medium? I got a look at the medium at the boutique where I am but they unfortunately didn’t have the large so I couldn’t get a comparison.
