Ahhhh the leather is just gorgeous! I'm really loving ostrich these days, it's not quite as flashy as python & croc (which can be a bit *too much* in large sizes) while still being exotic and different! Great find!

Thank you so much. I'm still drooling over your cute pre-fall Chanel :p

For a 'look' I tied a very bright and big H scarf to it this morning, it changed the personality of the bag, and my stuff plus 3 books returning to the library didn't kill by shoulder or make the bag feel vulnerable. it's proving very versatile.

This has been a great buy for me, I haven't ventured out of my 'Bermuda triangle' of H, Gucci and BV bags for a very long time (bar vintage)

Very true about ostrich! Plus, those that know know, but those that don't, assume it's just print (I've seen convincing oyher skins but I've never seen good ostrich print yet) very handy in the less 'fashionable' areas of the city ;)

A big white bird flew from Italy, through Germany and then to me...

As you can see it's a Gianni Barbato, very large shopping tote/travel bag that converts from a shoulder bag (sides tucked in) high shoulder bag when folded over or handheld full size.

Gianni Barbato is an Italian brand that is better known for special treatment exotic shoes and boots, very er Italian. Very hard to find outside Italy (so if any of you are visiting Italy :graucho: ) I had a pair of lizard and normal leather boots a few years ago that I wore into the ground :D

I've taken pics of both sides. As you can see they've used the quill parts on both sides so it doesn't matter which way it's turned. The skin is thick, pliable and 'bouncy'. The less-quill part are towards and on the side panels. So well made.

It has 2 large zipper compartments either side of the bag and another smaller one. The lining is lovely and thick.

I'm so pleased :loveeyes: and it's a keeper

I have not forgotten. I will take a pic next time I take 'big bird' out :D I've carried my Flora Gucci Nice Tote over the weekend and at work again today, making the most of the Sunshine with a bag that is not great at rain
