I am a Dooney Florentine girl…mostly. I have wanted to venture out and because yours and Doghound’s You Tube channels. I first saw these on Doghounds and searched and came across yours as well. I have purchase the Avery Med. Saddle Deluxe with Mocha straps and Mocha tassel… I also purchase the Slim Black with Saddle Handles, Saddle Tassel and snap closure. Thank you so much for your reviews. Somehow …I cannot connect with ANY of the leather shops like I can with GFG. Thank you. PS… I love your dresses, necklace and bracelet too. Would love for you to share videos on SLG’s too.
You’re so kind, thank you! 🥰 I’m so glad you decided to give GFG a try. I know you will fall in love with those bags! Great choices! I have always loved Dooney Florentine too. I love quality leather! Wait until you feel these GFG bags! Amazing! I love Ilene (Baghound) too! She’s so sweet and has great taste! 🥰
Thanks so much! I soooo enjoyed your recent unboxing and your excitement is contagious! I think I was just as happy as you were with each bag that came out of that box! 🥰
That has to be gorgeous, Natalie! I’m sure it gets lots of attention too! It’s such a pretty shade of purple and I love that they call it grape! Let’s face it, all these bags need scrumptious names! Thank you for watching and taking time to comment! 🥰
Beautiful GFG collection!😍 I might try their mini crossbody tote with the light trim and that fantastic crossbody strap.👍 Great presentation since it's very detailed, and I appreciate the mod shots because it helps give scale of the bag. TFS.😊
I am thinking about the mini with the natural trim as well! I think that would look so good! Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement! 🥰
I have 2 mini's too, and I was also worried that they'd be too small, but they are not, I don't know why, maybe because there's some depth to them, and the leather is so squishy. I was lucky enough to get the navy and I got a black one after I fell in love with the navy. Love your videos; always fun to see others collections!
I avoided the minis for too long! They hold way more than I imagined! So glad you got a navy one! Such a pretty color! Thanks so much for watching and commenting! 🥰
Just ordered the exact medium Avery you have yesterday. My first order. So excited and cannot wait! Absolutely love the look of the saddle Avery. I added snaps and 11” straps too. All your bags are gorgeous! Enjoyed it!
@@TheHeidibrooke gotcha, I love the look of it but afraid it would be too small. It was funny that I had just watched your video not long before then there it was…I was like, wait, I know that bag! Lol!! Hope you love your new one! 🙂
I love your collection, Heidi. GFG bags are definitely awesome. I’m surprised you sold your Avery Saddle Deluxe. Have to say, after watching your video on it I ordered one exactly like it, even bought the tassel, too. In fact, I love all your videos and I have been constantly checking the KMM&CO website watching for their Cypress bag to return…..they assure me it will. Watching other’s videos can definitely get expensive!
Thanks so much! Like I said, I will probably regret selling that deluxe! That bag was super sturdy! I wish I had space for all the bags! Lol. I hope you can get your hands on a cypress tote soon! That leather is soooo good! 🥰
I love your bag reviews! I ordered the saddle deluxe with tassel after watching your review on that bag. I love it. I am not carrying it at the minute because I like to have a lighter bag in the summer. Now I want a mini. ☺️
Awesome! So glad to hear that! That bag is a bit on the heavy side but I love how sturdy it is! The mini Avery is perfect for Summer! 👌 Thank you so much for watching and taking time to comment! 🥰
Been watching your videos and so love your leather collections. I've been in love with leather goods but too bad can't order with the company as I am in Canada and was told they can't ship overseas. 🤭
I didn’t know that. That really stinks! I hope they change that soon. Have you tried Mercari or Poshmark? I’ve seen some listed recently. I sure appreciate you watching and commenting! 🥰
Hi Jen 4, I do still have that KMM kodiak. I love that bag so much, lol. The pull-up is incredible. It’s comparable, in terms of quality to the Cypress and Avery but neither of those have that same level of pull up effect. They are outstanding, thick, wonderful bags though! Lol about being an enabler...I can’t deny it. I want everyone to enjoy their bags as much as I do. 😄
Hi! This video encouraged me to order a small deluxe saddle Avery with natural handles. I'm really liking the darker saddle color that GFG has right now. Thank you for sharing. I see from another comment that you ordered a cobalt bag - oh my! The cobalt is gorgeous. I have a mini Avery in cobalt and it's stunning. If you don't have a Jane GFG bag yet, it's a unique and fun bag to carry and holds more than you might think it could. Just saying... ;)
Ahhh exciting! 😍 You’ll love that combo! I can’t wait to see the cobalt in real life! It looks amazing! I don’t have a Jane yet but I love that style! I will get one, eventually! 😄🥰
@@TheHeidibrooke My small Avery in saddle with natural handles (I ordered right before the end of customizations) because of your video (!) arrived yesterday - and It. Is. Stunning! I can't wait until the handles patina some and it becomes more like a Reese's peanut butter cup combo. ;) I guess I'll just have to carry it for a few weeks solid instead of switching out bags every time I go out. I'm trying to hold off on ordering another Jane or a Sarah until I know what the fall colors will be.
@@NB-sz8ip Yes! It will be a delicious peanut butter cup! 😄😍 I feel like the handles soften and start warming up in color so quickly!! Enjoy your new bag. I know it has to be beautiful! 🥰
I always enjoy your videos. They very helpful when purchasing leather goods. I was wondering, which bag is a better purchase the PLG or GFG's? I've seen videos of both. I have 2 PLG bags and I love them, but I'm curious about which brand is better. Thank you for sharing and have an awesome weekend 😺😺🦋🌺🦋🌺💗💗
Thank you so much! Ok, so as far as quality...I have to say GFG is superior to PLG. The leather is thicker, and feels so amazing. Their straps are better too. They don’t have the sharp edges and feel so good on the shoulder. However, their selection is more limited. They are also pricier but the quality is definitely higher. For the money, PLG is wonderful! Their prices are so affordable and they have a huge variety of styles as you know. 🥰
Hi Bonnie! That’s a great question, and no, I have not noticed any sagging. I cannot stand bags that round out and droop at the base. I have not had that issue with GFG. 🥰
I love all your videos! I have a bday coming up and was planning to ask for a PLG tote but now I’m considering a GFG medium Avery. Gah!! Would you say the GFG is a lot heavier than PLG leather bags? That’s my main concern. Thanks!!
Oh awesome! Nothing like getting to order your own birthday gift! I always do that too, lol. So fun! The GFG medium might be only slightly heavier than a medium PLG tote, but not by much at all. The medium GFG is 2lbs 1oz. Now if you are considering the GFG medium deluxe, I would discourage you from that one since weight is a concern. That one seemed quite a bit heavier than the regular version. It has extra leather on the inside and a zipper. It really makes a difference in the weight on your shoulder. Overall, I don’t find the Medium Avery heavy and the straps are A LOT more comfortable than PLGs, and I’m not trying to throw PLG under the bus because their prices are great but their straps take some time to break in. 🥰
KMM is still very high on my list. I would say KMM and GFG are very similar in quality. I’m also really enjoying my “new to me” Choice Cuts Horween Tote (video coming) and my Coastal Hillbilly totes (video posted). You can’t go wrong with GFG or KMM for the highest quality of leather and outstanding craftsmanship. 🥰
Oh my gosh, I’m surprised you chose your regular medium avery over the slim! Haha it is gorgeous though! All of them truly are. Now, the question is KMM or GFG, if you had to choose one company? 😉
Isn’t that crazy, coming from a vertical tote loving leather addict? 😂 There is something truly special about their regular medium Avery. Ohhh, that’s a tough question! As of right now, at this moment, I’m going to say GFG. I still love KMM’s kodiak but GFG has better handles, inner pockets, snd hardware, IMO.
Hi Eunice! 👋 If you go to the Go Forth Goods website, you will see an option for the Slim Avery Tote, it comes in Medium and Large. Both of mine are mediums. Hope that helps! Happy shopping! 🥰
Gorgeous collection!! I love the striations on your bags. Just gorgeous! Thank you for sharing. Enjoy your beautiful collection 🧡❤️
Thanks so much, friend! 🥰 Carried my new medium Avery today and it was an absolute joy! 🥰

Each and every one of these are gorgeous.😍 It's great to see close ups and try on of the Slim Averys! Very nice size.
Thanks for sharing!

Great review. Thank you for sharing your bags. They are all beautiful 🤩
Thanks so much, Therese! You’re so kind to take the time to comment! It’s encouraging! 🥰
I’m glad your video was in my feed, I’ve never heard of this brand. Love the options to customize the bag.
Thanks so much, Sweet Shay! 🥰 This brand is soo good! One of my favorites!
Thank you for the comparison 🌻
Thank you for watching, Martha! 🥰
These are all beautiful! I enjoyed seeing them. Thanks for sharing! Peace and love..Suz What ☮️💚
Thank you sweet lady! Much appreciate your support! 🥰
I’m a purse addict and I love your bags. So pretty, I want to get one! Great video!
Thanks so much! 🥰 It truly is an addiction, lol.
I have a medium Avery in Grape that i really like! Most of the time, it feels like the best everyday bag for me! The saddle is very pretty!!
That has to be gorgeous, Natalie! I’m sure it gets lots of attention too! It’s such a pretty shade of purple and I love that they call it grape! Let’s face it, all these bags need scrumptious names! Thank you for watching and taking time to comment! 🥰

Would recommend ordering the bison leather if you get a chance from GFG, the leather is amazing.
I’m 5’1” & my fav strap length is 11 inch! I have a KKM & Co Blue Petrol Bison Carryall & I definitely made that 11 inches.
It’s so funny because I always thought 11” would be too long but it’s really not! It’s super comfy! 🥰
Just ordered the exact medium Avery you have yesterday. My first order. So excited and cannot wait! Absolutely love the look of the saddle Avery. I added snaps and 11” straps too. All your bags are gorgeous! Enjoyed it!
I am so excited, Marie! Please share photos on the group page when you get it! I know you will love it! 🥰
@@TheHeidibrooke I sure will! Did I see your denim color mini for sale today? Decide it wasn’t your thing after all?
Yes! I do have the navy for sale but only because I’m buying the cobalt blue. As much as I hate to part with it, I can justify two blue bags.
*can’t justify is what I meant to say.
@@TheHeidibrooke gotcha, I love the look of it but afraid it would be too small. It was funny that I had just watched your video not long before then there it was…I was like, wait, I know that bag! Lol!! Hope you love your new one! 🙂

So you already know how great their leather is! 😍 You definitely need one in saddle! My favorite! ❤️

You should do a comparison video on the three mini totes - PLG, GFG, and KMM. Pros and cons of each.
That’s a great idea! 🥰

SLG review would be great!
Have you noticed any drooping of the bottom of the bag if you don’t use a bag organizer?

How does the smell compare to PLG cold brew?
Hi Debby! 👋 They smell great but they do no smell as strongly as PLGs pebbled leathers. Those you can smell from across the room, lol. 😄🥰
@@TheHeidibrooke Smell is VERY important to me. Thanks for the feedback.
