      Hi Bonnie, Thank you! The Medium is perfect for me. I think the Small is a bit small but works for running out to the store. I love the hide of my Small Avery. I hope you enjoy your GFG bags. Thank you so much for watching. 💕

      Hi..At this point I don't have any corner wear, I only have the bag a few months and do not carry it often. So far, there is no corner wear at all. There is a Go North Goods group on Facebook called Go Forth Goods Groupies. You might get better persona experiences from other members. I will do a follow up video in a few months specifically on the wear and tear, Thank you Noemi Sifuentes and Chee Sim fir your comments and for watching.💕

    Thank you for this comparison! I have the mini and it it too small for everyday for me. I’m trying to decide between the small and medium but they seem so close in size. Is the medium still your favorite now that you have the small? Love your channel. Have a great trip.

    • @BagHound
      @BagHound  3 роки тому +1

      Hi Anna, Yes, the Medium is my favorite GFG piece. It is the perfect size and weight for me.The size of the Small is a little smaller than the Medium in both length and width. The size of the depth, however, makes the difference of what I can put inside the bag. I had to carry less than I carry in the Medium but that is why I bought the Small in the first place. There are days I don't want a bigger tote on my shoulder and days I want to run to a store and not carry everything I usually carry..That is when I will carry the Small. I hope this helps. Thank you so much for watching. Take good care 💕

    Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing your new bag an doing the comparison. Your videos kept me from making a couple purchases I know I would live to regret. I now have 2 of these bags on order. It is so difficult waiting for them…I am so excited and somehow I know I will love them…without any doubts. I ordered the Med. Avery Deluxe in Saddle with Mocha straps and a Mocha tassel. I also ordered the Med.Slim in Black with the Saddle straps and a saddle tassel. I have only one wish… I went more places so I could wear them every day. This was my year to clean out my bags and replenish my bag closet. I also purchased some new Dooney bags for when I want a more polished look. I am almost 70 years old. This has been the most excited I have been over something in a while. I am a Ladies Bible Study leader leader and know that these bags will be great for carrying my Bible and study materials. Thank you so much! You are so pleasant in your ways. I will pray for safe travels for you and look forward to your return and next videos. Blessings, Deb

    How do you feel about the long straps on the small. Looks silly that they hang almost down past the bag no?

    • @BagHound
      @BagHound  3 роки тому +1

      Hi Heidi..The straps on this Small tote are thinner than the straps on the Medium tote and almost as long as the bag itself. It is very comfortable on my shoulder. But, as you mentioned, I am partial to straps proportionate to the bag. I think a 9 inch strap drop might have looked more proportionate but it would have eliminated a large section of the population. I am in favor of strap options but realize that is not economically feasible for most companies, especially those companies just starting out. I am not aware of a strap-length option on a tote bag from any retail tote handbag manufacturer unless the strap has a buckle. or multiple removable straps. Thank you so much for watching ❤️⁠ Have a lovely day

I see you will be in my neck of the woods in July/August (New York) Those bags will be appropriate because it is raining quite a bit now, and it might be the same when you arrive. In the future can you do a video of your wallets, catch-alls and change purses that that you are coordinating with these bags. All the bags look very nice on you. Enjoy your bags and your trip.

    Great comparison Ilene!👍 All three bags are beautiful!😍 I'm more partial to the mini and the small totes, they're so cute!😃 I like that they use one piece of leather to sow the bag together, and the copper studs give them a nice rustic touch. I'm glad you found a bag that you're happy with, and get to enjoy using without having to worry about babying it. The bison leather has a really nice interesting texture too, I've notices. I hope you're doing well my friend, and hubby and Izzi too.🤗 Thanks for sharing my friend!😊

      Hi Dear Friend...Thank you! I really love the Bison leather. It really is interesting. My Bison is not as stiff as others. I think that is because whoever made the bag left the hide a little lax. It is perfect. I like that the leather is in one piece too. I am very happy with the bags I have bought so far. The leather is outstanding. The quality is unmatched in my opinion. I do prefer the Medium tote. I noticed that the straps are not as wide on the Small Tote making it not as comfortable as the Medium Tote for me. Thank you so much for asking about izzi. She is doing well and getting chubby. Hubby is working hard, I am trying to get ready for my trip but there never seems to be enough time. I hope you are doing well and enjoying the summer so far. Happy Friday! I hope you have a great weekend. Thank you so much for watching 🥰❤️

    Nice comparison! I am still debating between the medium and small. Maybe the solution is to get both. 😂😂

      @BagHound  3 роки тому

      Hi, That would definitely be the solution! I neglected to mention that the straps on the small are not as wide as the Medium. It carries a little different than the Medium. I carried my Small today. I could not stop looking at it. It is beautiful. Thank you so much for watching ❤️

    Another great video Ilene! Appreciate the comparison among the 3 sizes. I finally purchased my first gfg bag which is a mini avery in mocha. Carried it for the first time yesterday and absolutely love it! Enjoy your time with you children! Be safe and well!

      Hi Susan..I am so glad to hear you love your Mini..Mocha is a gorgeous color. My Mocha bag is my favorite. However, I still want more colors. I love those bags. Thank you..I am looking forward too seeing my family. It is really hard to be away. Have a great weekend. Thank you so much for watching ❤️ Take good care my friend

    Beautiful Go Forth Goods totes. All sizes are cute, even miss mini tote. I can’t wait until I can get one. TFS 😎💕. You seem very satisfied with this brand and the weight of the bags.

    Hi Ilene!...so happy you made this video on the size comparison..I love your GFG bags and have been deciding what size I should get..
    This video really helped me...
    I hope you have a safe trip and a wonderful time with your children and grandchildren..lots of hugs🥰❤

    • @BagHound
      @BagHound  3 роки тому

      Hi Kathy, Thank you! I really love these bags. They are comfortable. They arrive in perfect condition. They can withstand life. It is definitely worth trying one if you want a rugged bag. I am into this vibe now. Not to say I am giving up other bags...not at all. Bu,t the purchases of Coach, etc, will be only on a "must have" basis. The regular items do not appeal to me anymore. I hope you are doing well and enjoying your summer🥰
      Thank you so much for watching ❤️

    I have all 3 sizes and love them! So happy that you are doing more GFG videos! These bags are fantastic! I am going to sell many of my designer bags and stick with mostly GFG - keeping my rogues and florentines though - LOL

    • @BagHound
      @BagHound  3 роки тому

      Hi Nancy, Thank you! I love the GFG leather..there just isn't anything like it anywhere that I know about. Good idea to sell your designer bags. Yes, keep the Florentine and Rogues. That is what I am keeping too..I am also keeping the LV because my husband and children bought me the pieces I now have. I already sold the pieces I bought except for one piece, which I kept. I downsized when I was absent from UA-cam and dealing with retinal issues. I recently bought a new LV bag because my son, daughter in law and two grandsons gave me an LV gift card as my birthday gift last August for my 70th. I thought I bought something from them with that gift card months ago but it did not work for me. I finally found the bag that I wanted to get with their gift. It is on the way to me. I want to send them mod shots so they know and get to see what I bought. I won't be taking it with me this trip..the Vachetta is too new for travel. Thank you so much for watching. Have a lovely day 🥰💕

    Thank you for making this video! It's so helpful to see the size comparisons. I'm currently waiting for my Small Avery tote in Saddle to arrive. I've had the Medium Avery in Rustic Pecan for over a year and used it for 6 months straight. The design just makes it so easy to use! The medium has been a bit too heavy for my neck and shoulders so I'm hoping the Small will be the perfect size for every day. By the way I love your purse charms! They look so cute on all your bags.

    • @BagHound
      @BagHound  3 роки тому +1

      Hi Brittany, Thank you! The Rustic Pecan is such a gorgeous color. I hope Nathan brings that hide back. I carried my Small bag today. The straps are not as wide as the Medium. My neck is usually very sensitive to straps. I can't sit at the computer too long because my neck starts hurting after a short while. Carrying the Avery Small Tote on my shoulder did not bother my neck. Carrying the Medium did not bother my neck either. For me, I think the thin, straps such as brands like Coach use, does hurt my neck after carrying a bag crossbody. The GFG straps are much better for me personally. I hope it works out for you. Thank you so much for watching ❤️

    Beautiful bags! I have got to try one for myself. It's hard to choose with the choices though. They all seem to be great SIZES. Thank you so much for sharing!

    • @BagHound
      @BagHound  3 роки тому +2

      Hi! I love your name!! It is so hard to choose..It took me a while. I started with the Medium. Although I always loved larger totes and small bags..the Medium is the perfect size for me. I love the other sizes too..They are great for an easy carry or when you want to go light or hands free. Choosing the color was the hardest for me. Thank you so much for watching ❤️⁠

    Thank you so much for doing this video. I have been waiting for someone to do a comparison video before I decide if I really want the small tote. I have a few GFG medium totes and I feel like I could do a downsize but the mini is just too small for me I feel. The small looks promising and based on your video I will probably order it. Like I really need a new bag!
    Have a great vacation visiting your kids. I’m hoping to get to see my kids and grandkids soon, too. I live in Texas and they all live in California so I don’t get to see them often. Safe travels, my friend!😊

    • @BagHound
      @BagHound  3 роки тому

      Hi Valerie. Thank you! I am looking forward to seeing my family. It has been 10 months. It must be hard for you too. They grow so fast.💕 The Small is a little smaller than the Medium in length and width. However, the real difference for me is the depth of the bag. I had to downsize my usual carry..which,m to me, is the purpose of buying a smaller bag to begin with. It is just right for carrying a few things..more than the Mini and less than the Medium. I think it is a good piece to have if you sometimes like to go lighter or don't need the carry everything you carry in the Medium. I hope you have a safe trip and enjoy your time with them 🥰 Thank you so much for watching 💖

    I agree with you, the leather texture is lovely. I ordered a handbag a few months ago from this company, had initials embossed in it and even tho I knew the measurements it’s just too small and the leather is very stiff. If I carry it the leather will relax and maybe when the weather cools and I feel I don’t need a tote, I’ll start using it.

    • @BagHound
      @BagHound  3 роки тому +4

      Hi Sandi..A few of the types of hide are more stiff than others..depending on which animal it comes from. The Bison hides seem to be more stiff than the cow hides. I bought the Bison Cherry..It is the Mini bag in this video. My particular bag is not as stiff as some others who have purchased the same hide..but, in general, the Bison Cherry is among the hides which are considered stiffer than the cow hides. My other two bags are wonderfully soft but can stand on their own. The leather is luscious. I hope you don't give up on this company. The quality is unmatched to anything else I own. Thank you so much for watching ❤️⁠

    Have a wonderful trip, Ilene. Be ready for some hot and humid weather out here in the NYC area! Looks like you have found the perfect bags for your needs. They are not my style, but I still love watching your reviews because I learn so much, and I love seeing you so excited with your purchases. I haven’t found a bag that I MUST have in quite a while, but I hope that I will soon! Safe travels!!♥️♥️

    • @BagHound
      @BagHound  3 роки тому

      Thank you Susan. Thank you for the reminder. I always try to avoid going to NY in the summer. I will probably bring my Mocha Medium Avery Tote. It think it is perfect. I think the leather is breathtaking. I am so glad you are watching. I am not devoting my channel to any one brand. Actually, I just bought a special bag... I finally bought a gift from my youngest son, daughter in law and two grandsons for my 70th last August. They gave me a big gift card to buy LV. I bought an LV bag. However, that bag didn't work for me. Since that time I have not purchased anything with the gift card until the other day. it will be delivered next week, I am excited about it. Thank you so much for watching. Thank you for your friendship. I hope you stay safe and comfortable all summer long. I hope we talk again soon. ❤️

    Thanks for the video. I want to ask you about the Cherry Bison. Did you get a chance to use it? How is it in terms of scratches and marks? On your other video, you made comments that the Mocha Medium tote doesn’t really get scratched. So in comparison with the Mocha, what do you think about Cherry Bison? And the Saddle as well? Thanks much!

    • @BagHound
      @BagHound  3 роки тому +1

      Hi...At that point the Mocha did not get scratched and it still doesn't have marks. But I am careful with it. I think it is possible that it will get scratched. My Avery Small did get scratched and it was not able to be blended-in like dooney leather. I actually sold my Avery Mini Cherry Bison to a friend last week. It was in perfect condition. The only reason I sold it is because I now have the Small Avery tote and it is the perfect size for my needs. The Cherry Bison is beautiful. I prefer that hide on smaller bags as opposed to the Medium or Large size because, in my opinion, it looks better in the Mini or the Small. My Cherry Bison had no scratches or marks. As I said, the Avery Small Tote in Saddle did get 2 scratches from my dog. I wish I could have been more help. Thank you so much for watching 💕

    Love love love your collection. Ok now you need the large size lol! Go on our FB website I just got the large in Navy/Mocha... I'm in 😍 with it. I am addicted to GFG. I have a pink, yellow pouch coming as well a Large Slim Avery saddle coming and a pink
    Body bag with black straps. Lord help me I can't stop buying 😫🤣

    • @BagHound
      @BagHound  3 роки тому +2

      😂🤣 Wow!!! I think your self-diagnosis is correct! 😆 😉 I saw your GORGEOUS Navy/Mocha Large Avery this morning!! Barb, it is STUNNING!!!
      I hope that color is brought back. I need it! I don't think I can carry a Large due to the weight. I believe they start at 3 pounds empty..I am twice your age so my options are limited. Two pounds empty works for me. The Medium is perfect. I love everything about all the totes .. Actually, all the GFG products! I wish I could carry a larger tote. I love the look of a big tote. Thank you for the picture of your tote..It is so beautiful! Thank you so much for watching ❤️⁠ 🥰

The leather is truly stunning. I know the Summer can get really hot where you live. Stay comfortable! Thank you so much. I am looking forward to spending time with my family. It has a been 10 months since I saw them last. Thank you so much for watching 💖 Take good care 💕
