Please help with my Mabel dilemma!
I have bought from Cheshire Oaks (mail order) a black soft spongy regular Mabel. I love the style and colour (perfect for work), but am not sure about the leather. It seems a bit stiff, and almost cheap looking to me. I have the opportunity to return it, and to buy a black goatskin Mabel from eBay (slightly more expensive) instead. I have read on the forum that a lot of people seem to prefer goatskin to spongy leather. Is there anyone who has Mabels in both leather who could say how the two leathers differ, and which they prefer, and why?
Thanks so much!
