Hmm. Ask me that 5 months ago-ish when I had those pics of the silver hardware and I'd say regular hardware (when I saw the pics, I wasn't convinced). But now that I've seen pics here and in real life, the GH grew on me.
Then my friend got a GH vert gazon day and within 1 hour of leaving her, I couldn't stop thinking about it. At first I thought 'loud' but it literally grew on me and I thought 'its actually really nice!' and I got one AND LOVE IT.
My other gf who doesn't own a bbag said they remind her of radio knobs and didn't like them until she texted me saying a woman was carrying a stunning sea blue one and she loved it and had changed her mind from seeing that bag, and then pics of mine. She's coming with me to the trunkshow.
So it does grow on you. Having said that, I still always love the look of RH because its more edgy, more rock chick and understated.
So I like them both. I do not however like GH on all styles and colours. To me it only works on certain ones.
