MUSE Leather question

[dolphinsmile]

Hi ladies,
got really confused about the MUSE leather. Why is the leather of the MUSE in the pic so shiny and stiff? Is it a different kinda leather or because of the flash? Normally the leather looks softer and not so shiny, right? Thanks in advance!

The pic is here.

YSL uses Buffalo leather on the regular leather (nonmetallic) Muse. I think the flash is on here also and the bag is stuffed and both will distort the appearance of the leather.

i don't like the muse leather at all (at least on my bag when i still had it)
there's much better out there imo

Thanks susan-eric, I really like the soft version of MUSE instead of this stuffed and shiny one.

But I really love the oversized MUSE because it is big enough.

^ get a chloe edith bowler instead... it's even larger! ... and the leather is sooo much nicer...

Funny--I LOVE the Buffalo leather that YSL uses. One of my regrets is that the Muse metallics don't use Buffalo as well.

I love the Muse leather. I've had mine almost two weeks and when I walk past it, it still has a lovely scent!!

The bag has gotten more soft with use. For me, it is perfect. I love the leather and its softness.

mine had gotten super soft/slouchy too...just something about it seemed cheap... i think that glaze they put over it made it seem like cheaper leather to me...

Sometimes the bag looks shiny in pics... but mine doesn't seem to have any sort of glaze at all. That's one of the things I like about it... it has a somewhat rustic look about it.

dolphinsmile: What color is the bag supposed to be in your picture? It looks like maybe it is Oak?

Thanks girls for all your answers! I am sure that I will love the leather because you all said it will become softer after a while.

I am now thinking getting a large or an oversize one.

Hi Kallie Girl, it is actually choco. I checked it in the retail and it is a little bit shiny when compares to the other MUSE, maybe they use different kind of leather, I think. Yep, just like you, I do not like the glaze in it.
