Yes, she's absolutely delicious! [emoji39][emoji7]

Btw, do you find GP30 useful? Putting aside the fact that it can't be worn on the shoulder, the smaller size may be easier to grab and go for everyday use? I sometimes find the GP36 a little too bulky when all I need to carry is my wallet, pouch and phone. I'm not complaining haha...

No problem! Also, in case you didn't know, there is a shoulder GP... the straps are longer so you can wear on your shoulder. I wasn't aware of this option until recently and I think that is a FABULOUS option if you're in the market for a GP and worry about weight! ;)

Ahhh, thanks for the tip, immensely helpful!

I am considering the all leather GP as a daily tote, in lieu of the B I have yet to be offered by H 🙄[emoji51] The 30 is adorable but I think limited to being hand held(which I like the look of). The 36 appeals to me because it can double as a nice(r) carry on and its handles may allow shoulder wear, but...I do wonder if it might too big. I sure fret over something I may not even find anymore. Should've clicked buy when rouge H was available online late last year.

Rouge h comes around decently frequently. It is also available in stores too so keep checking. At least, in the U.S., I have encountered it several times.

I LOVE rouge H and have this one in 36 with white stitching (would have preferred this non-contrasting stitching though!). I have both the 30 and the 36 and while the 30 has plenty of space for me and like you said, very cute, I just love the look of the 36 and feel it can be used for more purposes. I would never use the 30 for work or traveling. If I could only choose one its be 36. It is still so light so you can stuff it and you never know when you need a big bag to stuff a few bottles of wine in [emoji16]

I once stood in line at a salad bar in Manhattan and spied a mother/daughter carrying a rouge H GP36 ahead of me. I couldn't help but compliment the daughter on her gp(white stitching like yours), both she and it looked a lovely pairing. She became friendly and shared how she hunted for that exact gp during her recent EU trip and finally on her way home, scored it from duty free H in Heathrow. That young lady's pleasure over her gp was infectious, for I could not get the gp out of my mind ever since despite having seen it almost always in all boutiques I visit previous to this encounter. Like you, I too would prefer tonal over contrast stitching at this point.

Thanks for sharing your insight. You had me chuckling at the wine bottle comment. DH would love that, and I can tell him it may be a practical purse purchase after all, hehe[emoji16]

What do people think about the GP 36 in poppy orange - too much colour? I'm 5'10" so can carry off larger bags. I have a mix of bright and more neutral H bags but currently don't have a one of these. My wardrobe is very neutral - grey, navy, brown and black. I'm looking for a bag I can just use everyday (I work from home) and don't have to worry about it too much. There is one on h.com at the moment that I am considering ordering.

Any comments and thoughts would be really appreciated. Many thanks.

It will compliment your neutral wardrobe with the orange. Orange poppy is very bright. Have you considered other toned down reds like Rouge Pivoine or Rouge H ?
