How boring. All he showed were Gaucho bags. I know we had an earlier post where we liked this bag, but after further consideration, I think this bag is stupid. It flips open in half, the top half only has what you see on the front and the bottom is just a zipper compartment, with some pockets in between the two flaps. I mean, for such a big bag, it really is a waste of leather and arm strength. And the small ones are completely useless. I suppose it's sort of cute but NOT cute enough to make an entire collection of it. OK, so it's also done in python, and you would think that would get us going, but slapping snake skin on a stupid bag just makes a stupid snake skin bag. As for the rest of the collection, it's a little narcissistic don't you think? Having all Axel Rose look-a-like Galliano look-a-likes? And even if you like that idea, wouldn't it make more sense to make copies of himself for John Galliano instead of Dior?

  • I don't find this bag boring at all. I have the Khaki Gaucho and its fab, has lots of room inside. I keep my phone, big purse, make up bag, compact, sandwhich and fruit, fags & lighter and its also been housing my credit card statement and a spare pair of tights for weeks and beleive me there is room for more stuff. Its look great because of it quirky design, all my friends love it. I would argue with anyone that finds this bag is boring, I don't see any other designers coming up with something so original and practical for a bag. Also from a safety/security point of view pick pockets would find it very difficult to get into the underneath without you noticing!!! Its the best bag I ever had.

  • I love this bag!!! It's usefull and very original.
