Default Smooshy leather?
Which MAMs do you think have the smooshiest leather? I have a whole new appreciation for my ocean MAM after receiving the eggplant... I still love the eggplant color, but the ocean feels so wonderful to the touch!

Oh - quick edit: do some of the Nikkis have particularly smooshy leather as well? Or do they all feel pretty much the same? (I still haven't gotten to touch one! )

Sage is the smooshiest softest and nicest to touch of the colors I have - by FAR. (compared with Tangerine, Wine, Emerald, Tomato, and Dark Gray - these all feel super stiff in comparison)

The nikkies are less structured and seem smooshier than MAMs on average. They make them in sage! I have heard the night blue is one of the softest, but have not seen IRL.

That makes me wish I would've gotten the Sage MAM at the Gilt sale!!

The leathers are pretty much the same on the MA's and NIkki's just different styles.

Also, the NIGHT leather is soft. Sage is one of my new faves, and i kept checking that Gilt page but didn't get it because of the price. Now they're offering refunds partially and hate that i didn't get it.

the black BW is super smooshy too!

So is the seafoam

there is a emerald MA listed on ebay right now- although its listed as "hunter green".... the emerald is one of my FAVORITE bags. Some of the best leather. Its THICK too... I think you should watch that auction!

I got the e-mail about the Gilt refund... so I'm glad I ended up purchasing the eggplant, but wish I would've gotten the sage too!! Or really tried for that night blue nikki...

And I still would LOVE to have the emerald... but holding out for a MAM...

The night blue is really soft and supple, but it's also very textured if that makes sense. Kind of like there are ripples going through the leather.

I felt a MAB in a store once.. I think it was Chocolate?? Anyway it was the SMOOSHIEST, THICKEST leather ever. It blew all other RM bags (that I have felt) out of the water. It made my Wine & Dark Grey bags feel like sand paper compared to how this bag felt. I'm really not sure if it was chocolate.. I can't remember. But it was an older brown color.

My Jade MAM is one of the smoothest, softest leathers I've ever touched or owned. It really does just collapse in a puddle! I need to stuff it better when not in use because it becomes so wrinkled from smooshing down so much.
