Oh, now I do have a question for you- how durable (as in stain-resistant and water-resistant) does the luggage leather seem on the HH Mercer? As a mom of young kids (and not so graceful myself), I'm wondering if I should factor this into the decision.

Hmm, of the three Mercer colors, this one probably is the most prone to staining or scratches due to the "velvety" texture of the leather. The chalk and black Mercer satchels have a smoother, shinier leather. I've carried the Chalk for 4 days straight now and no dirt or marks apparent.
 
I like the HH more. It has details that I like on it more and I really like the organizational feature of it. It also sits very comfortable on the shoulder.
 
I'm really enjoying hearing your thoughts and votes so far- thank you! So far, it seems like the GD has the most votes!

Now, I have another question:

As far as the GD, the one I like is the "Charlotte," right (the one in the picture)?

Now are there different sizes? What are the numbers I'm hearing about- 24? Does this denote the size of the Charlotte, or is it another bag entirely?

You guys are so helpful!
 
emoem...Hi!! Welcome the PF!! :D

Unfortunately, I can't answer any of your specific questions regarding the bags. But I have eyeing both the GD & HH. My first choice would be the GD...so, I say, if you can get your hands on one get it. My second choice would then be the HH. I :love: them both, but for some reason the GD calls my name a little bit more.

Yes, the one in your picture is Charlotte 24 hour (also named drape). It's a good size for an everyday bag. There is a bigger size 36 hour, another size up is 48 hour. These are both huge, 48hr is more a weekend bag. 36hr is great for someone who carries a lot every day or use it as a school bag. 36hr has a flap so it looks a little differen than 24hr. Do a search within the pf, really you will get so much info on all the GD bags.
