I'm surprised to hear you say that - most people who have posted about them seem to rave about the leather. Does it not wear well?? How would you describe it - thick or thin? Soft & smooth or textured & thicker?
This is solely my personal opinion, so please don't attack me ladies after you have read this....
I think I really don't like my for a combination of factors really... first off I got it in Luggage, which when I got it the colour looks like poo... but that's besides the fact...
Ok what I don't like about the leather - I have not used it yet so I don't know whether it would wear well or whether the leather would become better with use - but from what I saw now.. hmm... how do I describe it...
the leather is smooth, and its soft, and the bag is lightweight, but the leather quality itself is not that great. Like when you feel the leather u know its lacking something... I don't know how to describe it...
For example, when I feel my Botkier Bianca its smooth and soft too and u know its good quality leather - it has a sheen to it too.. but the GD bag is more opaque and dull...Oh and as for think/thin - the leather is relatively thinner, which is why its lighter. Its smooth leather not pebbled, but when I feel the leather its soft.. but not like Hayden Harnett soft - it feels artificial - but I know it isn't... so many mixed feelings...
I don't know if I am contradicting myself.. its just that something does not feel too right with the bag for me - its not what I expected so I was disappointed... I am still keeping it because I love the shape so much and I am hoping I would get over the leather thing and really will like the bag eventually.. but so far no luck - well I guess I really shouldn't complain because I got it on sale, but still it wasn't really what I had expected...
