Gerard Darel 24 Hour Bag
I am obsessed about this Gerard Darel bag:
Ugh! I just have to have it! I like it because I like anything French, heehee! But seriously, the reason why I am wanting this bag so bad is because it is the anti-thesis of an “It” bag. No labels, no logos, relatively unknown. Best of all, the leather is so soft and it costs less than $500!!! So perfect right?
I haven’t been to Paris since 1997, but I believe it when people say that almost all the girls in France have this bag! I’m not surprised, it really is chic and the design makes it a classic. Kind of like the Longchamp bags that were toted by every other lady I saw on the streets of Paris over a decade ago, this Gerard Darel bag made quite an instant impression on me!
I love love love it! There’s the python version too, and that has found its way to my wishlist as well! But, I’m in no rush to buy that. I will “settle” with basic black in the meantime =)

Ayayay! Kudos to you for not promoting an “it” bag! I *luuuurrrveee* the Longchamp totes. They are so understated and simple but they have the power to give you that silent confidence while carrying your tote.
I think I would love this tote more in python!

This is just sooo perfect for me! I’ve got so many things in my bag that it weighs a ton! Very hard to change bags since I also need to bring ALL of the contents to another BIG bag so I end up not changing it.

Thanks polkadotrn! Yeah, I’m kinda sick of seeing those designer bags being copied. I want something unique
And sigh, the python versions really are lovely!
Oh yes! This is a very roomy bag mrsawesomeplanet! Here are the dimensions:
Length x Height x Width= 17 in. x 8 in. x 6 in.
Shoulder Straps = 8.5 in.
Don’t you just love it? I’m small but I love big bags!
