I believe he was credited with the Shadow Birkin and Medor clutch as well?
Yes! I recently read an old, online article about him and the inspiration for the Shadow Birkin.
The idea of a shadow Birkin seems very Ramesh - subtlety and playing with the idea of minimal / no hardware!
I put down a deposit for the Graphic strap a few days ago! My SA was only able to secure a 110 cm, though he's working on trying to get a 90 cm too.
Hopefully it'll be here by next week. I was humming and hawing over whether to get it (after all, I could've gotten an SLG or a bag from a different brand for that price), but in the end the visual interest and the versatility won me over. I imagined using it with several of my bags (both M and non-M bags) and realized I can use it with over half my collection.

Are you getting both size? There are two design, which one do you choose to go for?

I was hoping to get the 90 cm, but I'll take what I can get. Probably just one and not both.
I'm getting the black one with the palladium hardware. It's a stunner.
So glad you are getting the strap. It is so very versatile!I was hoping to get the 90 cm, but I'll take what I can get. Probably just one and not both.

Beautiful! How do you find the Marie Louise? Is it more an evening bag? But it does look larger than I thought seeing it side by side the Rejane and Gabrielle.
Thank you! Like all Ramesh pieces, it is surprisingly versatile. When I asked about it at the store, I had intended to use it for an evening bag. But I tried it on with the chain while wearing a blazer I often wear for work and it went really well with it, so it can work as a day bag. I haven't had a chance to use it in the evenings due to Covid, but plan to use it as an evening clutch for more casual evenings. I can also see it work at a cocktail event with a smart jumpsuit or sleek dress. I find it a bit big for anything requiring full on evening wear - but that could be due to my height (I'm only 5'1).
Also, the box leather is surprisingly hardy. There have been a few instances when I thought I must have left a nail scratch, but it was fine!
