It was cute, but it was uncomfortable to carry and I share Elizabeth's feeling about it. I bought a Gusto instead, and it's terrific. I had the 24 hour bag and returned it as well.

Perfect.

Better invest in comparable, chic Parisian brands such as Vanessa Bruno, one of the queens of bag fashion in the capital, or Zadig et Voltaire, or even Jerome Dreyfuss.

I love mine because the leather is amazing and it's so versatile, I was even carrying my laptop around in it sometimes. Hope this fantastic brand and label gets bigger in the states.

I have been using it non-stop and although it is too early to say, it does not look like a bag too delicate or easily scratched. This model is very comfortable to carry, the quality is excellent and I get tons of compliments for the unusual color and shape. Finally, if these bags were poor quality, I doubt there would be so many around (in France and in Belgium). Women talk and if they would agree about the poor quality the sale of these bags would have fallen. Why would anybody want to buy a rather expensive poor quality handbag, when there is such a huge choice? As far a "trashy celebrity" endorsement, I think trashy celebrities carry anything they get for free. You name it, they carry it and then they just trash it on a pile of discarded "it" bags...

They're continuing with their 70's boho look. I remember when Stephanie Seymour did their ads and especially when they came out with the JackieO necklace. In the photo in Elle, Gummer is wearing a python bag but it's not the 24h. She does look like a young Meryl! I live here in France so I may get the new 24hr white python. It's a beauty.

As much as I'd love to hunt down an "underground" bag, I don't think it's worth it. Also, quality + trashy celebrity endorsement (i.e. LL)= not a bag I want.
