Thanks, Tibaka! Any idea why matte is more expensive than shiny. Do they need a more perfect skin because imperfections can't be covered? To make a matte finish is it a more compex process? TIA!

I have some croc items and a 35 birkin is about 2k more for matte than shiny. (39,600 shiny 41,600 matte for porosus) My understanding is the skin needs to be perfect where the shiny imperfections can be covered up in the process. They are both gorgeous though

he needs to go in the store and ask in person. but i must say, this is really not a good way to get your bag. best to frequent your local boutique yourself...

I really don't know why, wondered that perhaps it takes more hours to seal/finish the matte by hand, but again there are exceptions, i've seen a b30 matte poro recently that was much much less than a b30 shiny poro i saw just a short while before...
