Hmm- i wonder if like a few others, the ocean leather varies... i would say mine was very soft, smooth, but it was distressed JUST like the night blue.

I think the Seagreen is more supple than structured. My MAM puddles a fair amount when I set it down. Luna Boston lists it as supple, and the persimmon as structured, so I am not sure they would fall under quite the same category? It is more like the cloud grey and tangerine than the persimmon, so maybe under Slighty Glazed/Slight Shine.

Great idea for a thread!

What about hazelnut, cognac, saddle, and the royal blue/brown basketweave? How would you categorize those?

Royal Blue is the soft/smooth i believe, and hazelnut i wanna say is pebbled? And cognac and saddle are matte. I don't own either one of these 4, so Karen, littlerock, anyone that has these please correct if i'm wrong!
