Well girls, I'm official. I missed delivery yesterday due to a long day at work, but this morning I woke up with kid-on-Christmas syndrome and rushed right over to the PO. Here are some pics and my initial impressions of my black Gustto Baca.
When I opened the box, I was pleasantly surprised that it came in a pretty black satin dustbag. Aww, how cute! My initial thought was that this bag really was lightweight (it didn't appear to me that way in pictures...). My first fondling was a pleasant surprise as well: nice smooshy soft leather. Not Balenciaga, not smooth Sienna, but a thick soft leather. I can tell this bag is gonna be a workhorse and will be in great condition for years!
It's very generously sized, and I had no problem transferring all of my stuff from my Balenciaga City into it (umbrella, wallet, cell, iPod, cosmetic bag, sunglasses). How nice that I don't have to downsize my stockpile!
The interior is a whole 'nother story. Bright yellow, logo print, thick nylon canvas. This is the truly the interior of champions. If I were a sporty girl who loved to roam around the forests and mountains, I would want my tents and backpacks made from yellow Gustto lining. It's a little hard on the eyes, but I knew that before I joined the Baca Brigade.
The only thing I am a little confused about so far is how comfortable it will wear. I tend to have trouble with double-strapped shoulder bags staying put, and the Baca feels a little awkward when it's up there. Perhaps I need to work on my posture. It does look very cute when carried by hand or on the crook of my arm though!
Overall, I'm really impressed with the lump-of-bread-dough that is otherwise known as the Gustto Baca. I hope you enjoy my pics!
