My latest GP 30 (posted elsewhere, but should have gone in this thread first). I rehomed my blue GP because blue just doesn’t work with my wardrobe, but I really liked the bag. The morning of the first LV Murakami launch, I was clicking around LV and H.com. Didn’t get any multicolor bags, but did get a GP in Vert Moyen.

Okay. Now that I’m seeing the NeoGP, I keep thinking they missed an opportunity.

Made out of silk, with chèvre or another softer leather base, handle and lining. And instead of a shiny palladium snap, either a sterling Touareg snap, or something sparkly.

They could call it the Soirée.
 
They have to stretch the bag to reinforce. It's just the nature of leather.
Hello everyone,
I recently acquired a pre-loved GP 36 in Negonda leather. It feels very lightweight and the condition of the leather looks acceptable, but I am concerned about how "smooshy" it is. I was expecting a bag that would stay upright when placed on the floor and this one seems to fall over from its own weight when empty. Is this normal for those who have had full leather GPs for a long time?
Thank you for any feedback!
I have Vache and Negonda, and I would always choose Vache. Stronger, sturdier, colors, more saturated.

I'm deciding between gold vs ebene for a GP30. Gold is so classic and I own a gold K28 and a Barenia Faubourg B25, but given the lack of feet, would it wear poorly? I intend to use the GP as a worry-free, casual bag. I don't have any big black/dark color tote yet.
Is ebene a dull color?
