Again, I love the duo-but does the bag look expensive in real life? I live in the "burbs" of San Francisco and never seen anyone carrying the bag-hate to spend $4K if no one will know it's that special--(have no shame in admitting this, as I'm a bit of a show-off!!)

Hmmm ... well, it is obviously high-quality, but the fact that it is so under-the-radar is part of the appeal, KWIM?

I did once get stopped by a middle-aged man on the subway who complimented my Rouge H GP and asked if it was designer. I just smiled and said yes (and then moved away, lol). It is not recognizable the way some other H bags are, so if you are looking for a bag that doesn't have obvious branding but will be recognized, the GP may not do the trick the way some other bags (like, say the Saint Laurent Sac du Jour or some of the current Fendi bags) are.

Thanks for responding- I have several Chanel bags and for my business and lifestyle now, they are just "too in your face" so have been seriously contemplating GP-I even love its name as it congers up the thought of going to a French "Garden Party"--but still haven't pulled the plug-maybe this month when I go The City and enter the H store......perhaps when I see the leather it will convince me.

I agree with the last comment that it is under-the-radar luxury. To me Hermes leather is absolutely divine in any style and I love that I can use it everyday without having to baby it too much or worry that it targets me as carrying a flashy expensive bag. I hope you can see it IRL and make your mind up as to if you want to drop $4k on this style.
