Gerard Darel Redux: Gold Python

carrieGD.jpg

Read it and weep my darlings. Carrie Underwood strikes gold with the glittering gold version of my python bag. Carrie dined at Il Fornaio with her nephews and strolled the streets of Beverly Hills – toting this rare and ultra-glamorous handbag. Although unavailable for purchase in the United States, Gerard Darel python bags are quickly becoming a favorite among A-List celebrities. Angelina Jolie, Cameron Diaz, Halle Berry, Jessica Alba, Eva Longoria Parker, Ashlee Simpson, and Katherine Heigl are just a few of the big-name Hollywood starlets who carry the French designer. $3,400 retail when it hits stateside.

    B…XOXO

  3. Love the gold version did you see it while you where in Paris T? B haven’t you got a relative that livs in London can’t you get them to get you a GD bag from the boutique here?!

    each bag in multiple colours?! B maybe ask Eva if she would donate one to you…she has so many she wouldn’t even notice!;)

  4. I am not weeping since Eurostar can take me to Paris in seconds he he

    I am just on Mulberry’s website-don’t ask why I still check their designs-haven’t come up with anything exciting for ages! I checked out the ‘coming soon’ section and this is what I found:

    A freaking Princess tiara/headband for £150! And it’s not even pretty! Seriously,I wouldn’t give it to a 3 year old cause any girl’s shop has nicer ones for a fiver. Surely that must be the beginning of an end for Mulberry?

  5. I am so excited that Gerard Darel will be available in the US this fall- even if it is a limited availability. These bags are sweet!

  6. Hi all, I saw the gold version but preferred mine.

    It looks fantastic on Carrie, a blonde though!

  7. I have a GD in black leather. I used it once. Been sitting on the shelf ever since. Too slouchy for my personal taste. Not sure why I bought it. Moment of madness.

  8. “Angelina Jolie, Cameron Diaz, Halle Berry, Jessica Alba, Eva Longoria Parker, Ashlee Simpson, and Katherine Heigl are just a few of the big-name Hollywood starlets…”

    You lost me at Ashlee Simpson. Ugh. Count me out now.

  9. I was in Harrods a few hours ago and saw the natural python bag…it was fabulous!! They had a grey leather version I thought looked a bit cheap…definatley prefer the python has a bit more pizzaz!!

    B…I had great fun with the bag…you need to come visit your family so you can have a play with these bags!! you know you want to! Wow the evil Tina has just rubbed off onto me!LOL!!

  10. I’m sorry B…i was only playing….I definately think the gold or the gun metal grey is best it looks more lust worthy!!!

    Do tell us what you get in the end!

    L.xo

  11. Lottie, NO need for sorry…I took it as a giggle…I will def let you know what I end up with..I LOVE the gold, but really have my heart set on the gun metal, or even the ivory…knowing me I will end up with both..

    will keep you posted!!! =)

    B…xoxo
