Hi all,
Can you please help suggest some lightweight (non-exotic) leathers? I have a bad arm and can't do heavy bags (unless they're the shoulder variety, of course).
I know that I was first concerned with the leather that would best show off my desired hue. But after conversing with you wonderful TPFers, I've come to realize that bag weight is actually most important.
So here's what I came up w/ so far. Please let me know if you have other suggestions/corrections.
Swift:
- slouchy
- deep color saturation
- matte
Chamonix:
- stiff
- deep color saturation
- matte
Chevre:
- stiff
- color saturation???
- slight sheen
Thank you all!
P.S. Does anyone know if they still create chevre mysore bags? Too bad Porc is no longer in production...
