hermesmonkey,
Your Gao bag is so LOVELY ... I like it
! It is so versatile, simple yet chic...
Is it easily available at any H store? Is the strap adjustable? What kind of leathers and colors does it available in? and how much does it cost (If you don't mind me asking). Thank you so much for posting the photo

wyh, here is a pic of my Gao. It's does not have any hardware and to a non-H addict, they would not know it's H. It's one of my favorite bags to carry on a day to day basis. The birkin and kelly (I don't like the kelly straps) don't work for me when I have to run around with my son and need a free hands. The Gao is perfect for that. It looks so plain, but I tell everyone to try it on. If you do , you will certainly not let it go. I have 3 friends who were all non believers...and they all bought them after trying them on!
For everyday, the best for me would be a 34cm lindy or a victoria FT! Victoria is soooo lightweight! and cheaper than the bolide, lindys, etc
wyh, I will go home an take some action shots and a photo of the inside with stuff in it....I will also take some underside pics as there is a seam in the bottom that you cannot see in the pics. I ADORE this bag. Very light. As for availability, I know that my stores have ordered a few more for the summer, in various colors. You see them every now and then. I know Madison had an orange the other day. The strap is NOT adjustable, but it's really the perfect length. You will see when I post some action shots. Not sure what other leathers it comes in, on my tag is just said BULL, so from the touch of it, feels like soft togo, not clemence though. KWIM? I will check my receipt, but I think it was ~4k?
I would love for you to try this one on....trust me, everyone who does, instantly falls in love with it.

w.y.h. it depends on what "everyday" is for you. I find when I'm with my young children the Evelyn is ideal as it's hands free and I don't have to worry about it so much. The Bolide and Lindy are also great bags for being out and about and for work (as they are a little more under the radar than a Birkin or a Kelly -- especially if you have SATC co-works as fans of the show.
hermesmonkey,
WAOW .....LOVELY, LOVELY, LOVELY ....really a nice bag...It looks similar to the massai but more practical and understated....
Thank you so much for posting the pictures. It looks just PERFECT and you look so FABULOUS carrying it....just right amount of size and drop ...
A pity this bag is not so commonly available though...
I will try to find out more about this bag. Thank you so much once again ...

. Thank you so much once again ...wyh and Charmed05, here are some pics for you. First an action shot. You can see that the shoulder strap is really the PERFECT length, with the body of the bag just falling so comfortably.
Here are also some comparison shots: Gao vs. 30cm BJ Birkin vs. 32cm Sellier Kelly. This will give you a good feel for the width of the Gao.
