I returned this Gerard Darel bag, but I took pics first!

I thought this Gerard Darel 24 Heures in grey metallic would be dark like in the stock picture, but it turned out to be a really light silver. Thought I would share pics in case anyone else is considering one!

This is the closest picture to the true color, compared to my black MbyMJ bag. Sorry it's blurry. :shame:

Beautiful bag. Too bad it's not more of a deeper gray like the stock photo! Still a gorgeous bag, though

nice bag, but such a horrible misrepresentation online!!

Beautiful bag, but wow ~ what a color difference.

Wow, that's not even close to the true color. I love the 24 heures bag, but I agree with you on the color, and I would have returned it also.

I love the color, although it varied greatly from the stock photo.

How long did it take for you to receive it from Delcina? How is the leather?

I ordered it on a Friday at noon and I received it the Tuesday after, but I live in the same state so it was quick (FedEx ground).

The leather was fine, nothing bad, but I wasn't blown away either. I remember in the past feeling a GD bag that was very soft and smooshy, so I don't know if it wasn't as smooshy because it's metallic, or just different leather.

One thing that kind of bugged me though was the buckles that hold the straps onto the bag-- they sort of made a jingle bell noise. Maybe it wouldn't make noise if the bag was full?

wow, what a difference! It would look so much better in the dark silver IMO!

it's a nice bag, I think it really looks best in patent crinkled leather or snakeskin though

Ah yes, the jingle. Mine makes the same noise but I barely notice it when I'm out and about.

Thanks for your answers!

I don't blame you. If I were you, I would return it too. Its color is off too much!

 

[posk51]

Thank-You for the nice pictures! they turned out great!

 

[maedchen]

Wow, the color is completely different. I would've been so annoyed to get something so misrepresented.

 

[MrsShoeGal]

this is the reason I hate buying bags online the colors never match up!

Are those really supposed to be the same color? The photo looks almost like a pewter color.
