My Gerard Darel Bags Are Here!!!

[style101]

Wow - these are all so pretty. Absolutely love all 3 colors!!

roey, it's a nice bag. Yet another shade/version of the camel charlotte. It looks much lighter and more structured than mine (vs slouchier and darker). Mine doesn't stand up like yours.

Mine still had the stuffing in it! Unstuffed, it slouches. I'd say it is a tad darker than the photo but only a tad; it is most definitely a light camel..

Gorgeous!!! I love them!

BTW, how adorable is your tabletop and background dishes? So springy!

^^Awwww - thank you!!!

Here is my camel w/out flash. It is pretty true to color. The leather is not as soft as my chocolate from last season though but it is still a nice bag!

^^^Yea!! I"m glad it finally arrived!! It looks really pretty - the color is very close to mine. Are you going to keep it?

 

[roey]

Yes, keeping, especially since my sister bought it for me.

Now that I am home from work and have had a chance to play with my tan GD some more, here are my observations. KK is correct about the tan color having a split personality. In my pic in natural light, that is pretty close to how it looks (taken in my outside hallway in sunny daylight). At night, it is more of a medium camel brown. The color has a yellow undertone (whereas my Kooba Lucy is a dark camel with more of a brown undertone), but there is no mistaken that this bag is camel colored.

I also felt it up alongside my chocolate from last season for further comparisons. The leather on the chocolate is only a tad softer, and if I didn't own both bags I would have no frame of reference and be VERY PLEASED with the leather on the tan. It is soft and smooshy and slouchy. My initial disappointment was due to comparing it to the chocolate versus appreciating it on its own.

The tan leather is smooth with a very slight grain, except for the panels and bottom which are more textured. The chocolate has a deeper allover texture.

For the price tag, it is a lovely bag that will always be stylish!

Mine finally arrived today. I was a little surprised by the leather; it's smoother than I expected. I love the look and feel of this bag, and might even be able to get used to no cell phone pocket!

What I love is that the bag is simple, chic and well-made, but doesn't scream "DESIGNER BAG!" so it's something I can feel comfortable carrying anywhere.

Think I'm going to have to order in black...I'm a bad girl!!!

Enjoy your bags, girls!

Pseub, what color did you get? Thanks to this post, I have a black and brown coming tomorrow. And I'm jonesing for white too!

But.... no cell phone pocket?? :cry: No likey.

My brown one is on it's way too! BG said it went out yesterday. I'm looking forward to it! Is there a pocket all all inside? It doesn't really matter, I can live without a pocket. I just love this bag. The style is so cute!

Very nice! (Need to cover eyes...don't look...don't look...don't call...don't call...)

I got the tan. I like the color, even though I had visions of a more cognac-y color when I first ordered.

There is one medium size zip pocket on the inside.

There's a single zippered pocket, which I'll probably use for the cell and blackberry. We'll see how I do with keys loose in the main compartment...
