Hi there

Im sorry but I dont recognize that particular style offhand... it may have been a special cut for BG.

It appears to be a brusciato brown crunch leather bag from Spring or Fall 2007.

Hi tarheelgirl1

Honestly I wouldnt worry about slight variations in the product... these bags are made by hand by human beings the old fashioned way.

I guarantee the grape will turn smooshy when you use it. Condition it with lexol as needed- grape is a thirsty color !

tarheelgir1 · Jul 17th, 2009, 11:40 AM

Thank you!

I don't have Lexol, but I do have Coach leather moisturizer. Can I use that?

tano expert · Jul 17th, 2009, 02:26 PM

Ive never tried coach moisturizer... I doubt if it would harm the crunch leather, but I would test it in a small unseen place and wait 24 hours before applying it to the whole bag.

Would any of Tano's orange colors be considered a "burnt orange"?? I'm not very familiar with them and someone asked me... so, I figured I'd ask you!

tano expert · Jul 17th, 2009, 04:47 PM

Id call AMBER velvet from last Fall a true burnt orange... and mandarin in crunch was similar.

TE: Not to make any sort of attempt to put you on the spot because I know your guess is probably as good as anyones but...

What's your educated guess on when the fall bello/nebula bags will be ready to ship?

Thanks TE! yeah, I have not come across it anywhere (not on these forums, not on any shopping sites) - which was partly a reason why I got interested in it. It seems to be some sort of messenger style... But do you think it is a legitimate one? Feels pretty nice and soft. I found a small tag on the side of the interior and it says Made in India. Is this common?

tano expert · Jul 17th, 2009, 05:04 PM

fashionkitten, Tano bags are almost all made in India, with Italian leather and Japanese hardware. Ive never seen "fake" Tano bags so Im sure its legit... I just dont immediately recognize the name of that particular bag.

tano expert · Jul 17th, 2009, 05:05 PM

voodoo, I heard a rumor that the BELLA leather is arriving this month!!!

It would not be at all surprising for Tano to ship Fall 2 bags before they complete shipping summer (plush ) collection...

***(TE pulls hair out of head)***

No news on Nebula other than the current "by 10/15" ETA

Ok ... sytanx... is it Bello or Bella?

tano expert · Jul 18th, 2009, 05:14 PM

err... i think its bella... tano had a leather in the past called bello, which was the predecessor of crunch.

^ That may have just added mardarin to my list... I need a Texas burnt orange bag for football season... Go Longhorns!

LuvAllBags · Jul 22nd, 2009, 04:12 PM

Hi TE, So sorry if someone has already asked this...any idea when to expect the bags in the "new" version of the Crunch leather for Fall? I think it's now called "Lux?" I'm dreaming about the new Fall Boogies...lol. Thanks!

tano expert · Jul 22nd, 2009, 05:35 PM

LUX is Fall 2, which has an ETA of "complete by 10/30" ... I dont have any more info than that- sorry!

Crunch has been improved gradually over the past 6 months to be softer, squishier and hold its color better. Many of you have purchased crunch bags recently and have owned crunch bags in the past have been pleasantly surprised by how much nicer the crunch leather has become (ie caramel) know what I mean. LUX leather is basically the improved crunch, renamed.
