Hi, i'd like to ask for an opinion. I cannot decide to take a garden party 30 negonda leather in gold OR a gardent party 30 epsom in rouge casaque. Which one do you think is worth investing based on the color and leather combo? Actually i already have a bolide bougenvilea epsom which is pretty similar to rouge casaque epsom, and that is my hesitation on the RC GP. While gold is a classic colour however the leather is negonda which will sags with time.
Anyone has any other opinion is greatly appreciated. :smile:

Since you already have a bag which is similar to RC and in epsom, maybe take the gold even though it is negonda because the 30 is smaller and would keep its shape better. You can put an organizer inside to preserve its shape longer if you are worried about it sagging over time. Or if you can wait and find one in vache country, then that would be ideal. Good luck!

Wow lucky niece! I love the gp36 as it's an all-around bag. My k32 can fit comfortably inside it when you release the side buttons. So I think the k28 will fit even with the buttons closed. It's a light bag for me,but of course if you fill it up it will be painful on the shoulder or arms.

Thanks so much for your reply, Tabbi! I adore my niece and she has really worked extremely hard to overcome some difficult obstacles... I am proud of her and would really like to treat her to something special that she can still get a lot of use from. I like that GP's are well made, but not covered in logos. It could be just the right under the radar, yet chic work bag for her.
 
Quick question, I realise it is a bit tough to get my twillies to cover the full length of the straps on my GP36. I asked an SA about it and she like of laughed and said you don't expect the twilly to cover the full length of the straps because they are much longer on the GP36. Is it true or are you able to somehow get them to cover the whole strap?

You can def cover the straps with no problems. All my gp 36 is covered with no problems.

Thanks for replying! Do you mind sharing a picture of your GP with the straps covered? I spent an hour or more trying the other day and I couldn't cover the straps then I went into H to ask and the SA said it isn't possible. Probably cuz she didn't want to help me!
