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.

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 :)

Dear Creampuffy, we r bag twins!! I struggled a bit with the colour as I am quite extreme with colours of my bags, either black or pop colours. Surprisingly I love the colour since I started using it! Guess I should explore more with colours [emoji9]ImageUploadedByPurseForum1439778329.285873.jpgImageUploadedByPurseForum1439778363.454554.jpg

Let me share with my GP36 with quad lining. Sorry about the messy background which is my office[emoji16]ImageUploadedByPurseForum1439778476.301063.jpg

Hello! Does anyone know that if Garden Party has bougainvillea color for 2015 collection? I want to get a Garden Party when I go out with my daughter. I think that should be a good choice for a mommy's bag. After some researches, I really like the watermelon color(bougainvillea). Wonder if 2015 has bougainvillea color available? Didn't see it at store though.
Thanks in advance!!:D
