Wow I've never seen a GP in this colour before! It is absolutely stunning! So pretty! I think vache country is supposed to be sturdier than Negonda. Congratulations! [emoji5]
Beautiful bag [emoji170][emoji170]. I love this blue. I picked up the Bastia in the same color
Zanzibar blue is gorgeous! I haven't seen it irl! Hope I will see it soon. [emoji7][emoji7][emoji7]
Thanks for replying! If you don't mind me asking, what do you put in your bag? Does the weight bother you? I'm so in love with the colour of my bag but I'm a bit disturbed by the weight.
A long wallet, an agenda, coin purse, cardholder and an umbrella. That's all I bring. [emoji4]
What leather is your bag? I bought negonda leather in my GP 36 because I felt the vache country leather was too heavy in that size. But if you pack lightly, i think both leathers can work. I have to try everyday not to overpack my purses!
Personally, I prefer the 36 since the 30 is not as roomy. For me, a GP is a workhorse and I use it for work and errands. The 30 is a bit shallow to stuff any paperwork in and I would put my scarf or a shawl if needed in the 36. Some people argue that it can get heavy but that goes with all bags anyway.
I saw this beauty in the Vegas store and still kicking myself for not getting it. The country leather will keep the shape of the bag well and both of them weight about the same. Just remember that you can stuff a lot in like a shawl or cardi. The extra room is what makes it such a workhorse. If you start putting your water bottle and umbrella, it can get heavy.
Mine is the vache country leather. I got it because it is so nice and sturdy but also weighs a tonne! I went shopping with it once and after a while my arms started to ache!
