I have a GP30 as well (you can tell I love my GPs). The straps are smaller than the 36. But it is way lighter. I haven't used it yet but I have a feeling I'm going to like it more than my 36. Just because it is lighter yet still very roomy..
I agree with you because after using my GP36 a few times, I realize I don't stuff them to the max and GP30 could be a better size especially when I'm walking through the crowd. [emoji5]
I saw negonda leather can get slouchy very easily.. even only weeks after using it. Is this leather also can get slouchy easily?
Dear Baghagg,
I am enjoying the blue indigo/negonda leather GP 36 very much. I use it quite a lot and I love seeing the lining peeking out. I have an older GP36 in Gold Negonda leather and I have noticed that when it sits empty it is kind of slouchy and so probably the blue indigo one will eventually develop that too but I don't overstuff them and they both still look fabulous when carried. And i do carry the GP 36 on my shoulder. It's not a perfect shoulder bag but it works except with a thick coat.

I can finally join the club with my own reveal (and first H bag)! Found this lovely bleu electrique PM in New York this weekend!! Also picked up twillies and the rodeo ^_^
What a great first H bag. Love GP and BE. It's a great combo. I think this is a rare combo and specially in PM. Great find.
This a fabulous bag and the color is so vibrant. Enjoy her in the best of health!
Thank you both! I was so excited to be able to find this color in the PM size! I really wanted a GP in a color that pops, and BE is just too perfect ^_^
Can I just say, I really like the GP. I have the 30 and 36 and to be honest, I am thinking of getting a third. Does anyone else here have more than two? I like that it is as roomy and functional like a Birkin but not nearly as expensive and flashy. So understated and classy. Love it!
Yes, I have four GP 36! They really are useful. I have Negonda leather in gold and in blue indigo and Vache leather in colvert and in rouge duchese. They are infinitely versatile and I like that they can fit over the shoulder, have a zip interior pocket and they are very simple yet elegant. If only the straps were a tiny bit longer they would be absolutely perfect.
I love this bag and am thinking of getting it for my next H bag because I need an understated work bag. But do you think it's a little overpriced for what it is?
Wow. You have 4 GP 36s! I am considering getting one. You mentioned that there is a zipped pocket. How big is it? Can you share a pic? Thanks so much.
Dear Miss Al, It's kind of difficult to photograph the scope of the interior pocket but I can say that it is large enough for me to fit in a large sized LV Zippy wallet and a cel phone and still zip it closed! Sometimes I carry GPs in cities on public transportation and since the GP has an open top it provides a great measure of security to protect my valuables from pick pockets. The canvas GP 36 does not have the interior pocket which I why I have stayed with the all-leather version.
