Default Textural differences within "Crunch"?
To my understanding, the crunch's color names are the fruity blend and velvet leather is named after gems. Is there a third or fourth type of leather in the Fall line-up?

Two very different Grape textures. The former is clearly "crunchier" than the latter. Perhaps one is crunch's distant counsin!! But which one??? Assuming they are both crunch, I wonder which leather will be used for the Minilisa... I'd prefer the smoooooth one.

I'm pretty positive the smooth one is crunch I'm not sure what the other one is. the minilisa is crunch so it should be the smooth I have a feeling the first one is crackle leather.

Smooth is the crunch. The rippley one is the rippled patent I believe which is new for this fall.

crunch is the smooth one. The other leather is called "ripple." Its actually crunch leather, with an extra layer of gloss which is crumpled when wet to give it that crinkled, cracked look. The end result is a semi-patent leather with an interesting texture and wonderfully saturated color. Since crunch and ripple are the same leather at heart, the colors (and their names) are the same.
