The Valentino boutique told me that the style in the photograph is crinkled leather. The confusing part is that NM.com has the bag in both black and white. They say that the white is "crinkled laminated leather" and the black one is "coated cotton"! It's confusing but I've always been under the impression that the high gloss Nuage bags are coated canvas and the crinkly ones are leather. Hence, the high gloss ones are cheaper than the crinkled version...

Thank you for the info! They are really helpful!
