Hey....I was wondering if anyone's seen the cocoa leather on the Sasha Duffle in real life. In some pictures it looks like it has a sheen or gloss to it and that it's a bit stiff. In other pictures it looks less glossy and more slouchy/broken in. Can anyone who may have seen it in person let me know? Thank you!!!!

I believe I have it. (although I got it at the Neiman's outlet so I'm not absolutely positive)
It's a glossy finish, and your right about it being stiff, though it's not SUPER stiff.
hope that helps(:

Never mind, I think mine is actually chocolate, as I doubt a new color for spring (which cocoa is, right?) would be at an outlet. Sorry :/

I've seen it. It is glazed but the leather is on the thinner side so it is light. It is pretty smooshy IMO. The dusty rose color is stiffer.

I bought this exact bag two weeks ago and the cocoa leather is not glossy at all in my opinion. The bag was a tiny bit stiff to start with but after a weeks use it has softened up nicely.

I would thoroughly recommend this leather and bag - I cannot put it down at the moment!

Thanks for your input! If anyone has any real life pictures to post on the forum, that would be awesome.
I'm leaning towards getting it, just waiting for a good deal!
