I am not a huge fan of Mono Eclipse personally. But it's a better option than Damier Graphite. I just wish we had more Macassar options.
After thinking that I wanted a smaller Lv of the K45 that I have but still changing my model, I finally bought this Speedy B35, although I had my doubts in case it looks very feminine, but I passed on stereotypes and bought it.
A 35 can easily pass as unisex. Even in Damier Azure.
Great bag, good choice.
What are the opinions on the city steamer GM on guys? It looks like a birkin with a strap so if guys can carry birkin then I think the city steamer GM should be ok? Maybe with a lv bandoulkere thick strap. Any opinions appreciated! Thanks

I think the City Steamer looks too feminine. At least the Bikini has many sizes and the biggest sizing Hermes offer can look more masculine.
It's smaller than a birkin 35. I see men carrying work bags similar to this for computers from time to time, so I'm sure you can pull it off, but it probably will look less like a tote and more like a work bag on a man. It's really a pretty basic and neutral bag, so you can't go too wrong in my opinion if it looks good on you.
Looks wise I don't think there's any issue. I have a Saint Laurent Sac Du Jour large one and it has a similar structure and I use it with a wide strap as well !
However, as this piece is fully calf leather, I feel that it might be a tad heavy and when you load it up, it's going to be weight training whole day long !
Anyone know what is this tote called? Or am I thinking this is in fact the Sac Plat?

Haha I have been eyeing this bag ever since they published this picture on the website!!
I considered this bag in the XL size but it looks too feminine for my taste. However, it’s a gorgeous bag and others may rock it. The truth is, I really wanted a Birkin and this bag would have been a substitute. In the end, I’m glad I went for the B40.
I want to know why they are advertising that photo but I don't see that tote anywhere on their website!
