the craters happen because they dry clean the leather then wash it
the washing gives the crater effect

Attached are some photos. Is this "reflect" or "calandra" color? The color code is 2026.

^^^^^^That is definitely not Reflect. Nice though. Thanks!

Castorny - you need that Cabat to go with that leather jacket!!! NICE!!!! Would be a stunning look.

I was in NYC Friday but did not make it down to BV, went to TODS instead... (sorry for cheating). I HAD to see the Fall colors of the G bag in person!
It was really muggy and threatening rain and thunder, I had to get to my car before the downpour.

All this talk of the Fall colors, now I'm kicking myself! I will definately go when I go back to NYC later this month before I depart for Ireland... I'll take some pictures, I promise!

The Lilac and Reflect sound really nice, I cannot wait to see IRL!

This color is called "Calandra." It is made for the men's collection.

Did you go check it out yourself, yet? To me, it looks like the 2 colors from F/W 07/08, Bronzo and Uniform. I like the color, very vintage feel, but I not thrilled about the styles of bags that are available. There is a duffle bag, which Kelly88 posted, and a briefcase, plus some accessories like wallets, etc. I don't think I'll be buying anything until S/S 10.

I talked to an SA at the Tyson's Corner, VA boutique and she said that the inspiration for this bag was the moon. That's why it has the craters on it.

I actually quite like the bag above. It is funky/interesting.

I haven't seen it in person yet. I don't think I like it from what I can tell in the photos, although I did like it on the runway. I'm dying for the Purple Vachette Tote for S/S '10!
