The Garden Party bags thread

[catsinthebag]

You are so right. It really is about the proportions. Not just of the bag tho. For the first time in my life I thought "does this bag make my butt look big(ger)". And yes, yes it does.

hee hee, then you have your answer! I think because it is truly a shrunken down version of the GP 36, it throws things off. IMO, the GP is supposed to be a tote bag, so to me, on me, the 30 never looks quite right.

I thought I that was funny too. Guess it's the way we see ourselves.

I am so conflicted on whether I should keep the GP 36 or not - I need a tote but whether this is the right one? I prefer feet and a longer strap drop but I can see that it is so practical overall.

I own a GP 36
Feet would be nice. I fit the straps on my shoulder.
I also wear on my arm or handheld
It is practical & had a nice "swing"

For some reason, the lack of feet on this bag doesn't really bother me. I do wish the strap drop was an inch or two longer -- I wear the GP on my shoulder, but it can feel awkward with a bulky coat or when the bag is really stuffed. That said, it's a work horse, quality, understated bag.

It is the 30. Glad I could help. The Garden Party really is a beautiful bag and I love the red.

Can someone please tell me if there are 2 or 3 sizes of GPs? I was offered one in Rose Azalea 30cm. Is this the smallest size or medium? Thank you!

It's probably the smallest they're selling at the moment. There have been smaller ones in the past.
