It's bigger than it looks on the inside, love it! I'm new to Gucci, I feel like there's so many different styles and colors ah I can't help but feel like I'm getting addicted. lol Thanks for your thread :D

This is the large size, they are great for everyday. I have the med too, it's more a lady-like, handbag size. Well worth looking at next time you visit Gucci :graucho:
 
Introducing the new 'old-style' Bamboo Top Handle

I am wondering if this means the end of the New Bamboo Top Handle :sad: I like the bamboo handle closer to the body and the tassel is a beautiful charm in its own right.

As you can prob tell the bags' handles stand away from the body, referencing a style that goes back to another update, relaunch in the mid-1960s of the original in 1947. The optional bamboo tassel is gone, but happily the shoulder strap still remains (first attached in the 1990s :D).

These are the Bloom examples which I think will be very pretty for Summer

Out yesterday during the day with my Gucci studded BTH. I love the casual, understated vibe of this bag. Paired with jeans and heels, and you are ready to hit the town. I have it in black too, and just the color change give it a whole different feel.

I absolutely love these old style bth - they look so delicate and fresh with the blooms print. I am smitten with the green one. :heart: Though I agree with you that I miss seeing the detachable tassel and I think they would look even better (if that's possible) if the handle sat closer to the body. I'm glad (even though I have no funds to purchase this pretty bag) that the shoulder strap was kept.
