I received a sample of a gorgeous black leather, which is very soft and smooth and seems quite lightweight. I asked about ordering a bag in this leather and it has been added as an option on BE Couture (although no pics. yet). I'll try post pics. of my sample soon!
New leather on BE Couture: Matte super soft black

Yes, they are completely different. I'll take a pic. of the soft black matte sample against a black pebbled bag.
that's so helpful --- thanks citychris. i'm on perpetual hunt for a great staple black bag. i'd really like to find a supple black similar to rm's night leather. i sold my nikki so i wonder what's comparable in be leathers. i loved its slight sheen, softness and ability to puddle right out of the box.
i like the black pebbled...i have a tme midi in it. what i don't like is how heavy it is. i'm hoping this soft black is light and soft.
No, I believe Tash's TMA is charcoal, which is a greyish black and not as soft as this soft black matte leather (based on a charcoal TMA that I saw). It is a true black.
It is a bit hard for me to tell about thickness from a sample, so perhaps you could ask Jackie. In terms of texture, it's smoother, with less variation. It's not completely matte, but has a subtle shine.
I'm leaning toward a WTM midi, or maybe a WTM messenger. I'm open to considering other options though, any thoughts?

Chris...it looks like this is a deep, dark black..would you say that is the case? I mean not dusty black or any grey...but rich deep black?
Thanks for taking the time to do testing and such wonderful pics!
