Creampuffy, she is a gem. And you've picked a lovely twilly. Definitely a perfect bigger bag. Yes Bleu de Prusse is so gorgeous. I have that blue in the quaridge too. Just haven't got a chance to use it and I can't wait!

My new quasi "mommy bag" from my husband. Got this 2-3 weeks ago now? ;) Just waiting for my diaper bag insert to arrive from Etsy.

Here's the GP in Gold. I rather like the casual feel of it!

Bought my Rouge H GP36 about a month ago. I was looking for a bag to carry my laptop and papers to work and for travel. I passed on many beautiful pieces I saw at various stores...
1. Blue de prusse with quadrige lining- this bag made me want a GP with quad lining. The colour was gorgeous but I resisted! I had too many navy bags in my wardrobe.
2. Rose sakura- lovely, pretty pink but it was too light. I thought it would look better in GP30 for a casual fun weekend bag, not quite a work bag colour.
3. Gold- beautiful classic colour, almost swayed but I don't usually carry brown bags and it looked a tad on the casual side.
4. Rouge pigment, blue tempete, feu, various canvas- None of these called out to me. Although I did linger around a yellow canvas + white leather combination.

I was thinking of waiting and searching for a etoupe quad lining GP when I stumbled upon my Rouge H GP in store. I had seen pictures of this bag before- a friend's aunt had a similar one, I thought it was an "oldish" colour and wasn't impressed.

At the store, I wasn't immediately in love with Rouge H. I did not have any dark reds/ burgundy colour bags and was skeptical about its brown undertone. I took awhile to decide, comparing it with a Gold double sens etc. And finally decided to take the plunge!

I'm pleased to say that this bag has been a wonderful addition to my wardrobe. It works well as a "neutral" and can be carried both for work (formal) and travel (casual) settings. Enough talk, here's some pictures!

Matches the interior of my car.. No wonder the colour felt new and yet somehow.. familiar.

Love the horsey lining!

For travel~ fits perfectly on top of my cabin bag.

Dressed up with a simple bow. I think Rouge H looks surprisingly good with grey twillys! Bought this pair specially to match.

Thanks for reading :)

I'm thinking to get the same bag!!
Do you have any modelling pic?
I saw my local reseller has this bag, but I am afraid it will be quite large on me (163cm)

many thx

I have three GP's, all size 36. I've looked at the tpm several times and can never quite bite the bullet, for two reasons: the small size and the fact that I'd have to hand carry it. I have a PM Evelyne, so I can do that size, so I think it really comes down to the lack of a shoulder strap. Apparently, long ago they made a canvas version of the tpm that had a detachable shoulder strap -- if they made that in all leather, I think I'd be all over it!

So really, I'm no help at all! But if you can do the hand-carry small bag and always reach for your Pico instead of the Evie, that probably tells you something. If I were you, I'd try using it a couple more times and if you're not feeling the love, sell and get something that works better for you.

Hi Pico lovers - I am looking at the tpm now and would like your opinion if it will look ODD to add a canvas shoulder strap .. I like the idea of 'hands-free' sometimes OR should I look at another style? Any comment/feedback will be greatly appreciated. :D:D

Not weird at all! I think I've seen that somewhere? It would be a great idea to add mine to mine too (36cm)... The hands free option is always nice

Hi Ladies!

Does anyone know whether GP comes also in size 23cm?

I have an opportunity to get a size 23cm (similar size like Picotin MM which I love) from a reseller but I am not sure whether to go ahead! Any help is much appreciated!

Here are pics of the mini bag plus the interior!
