I know swift is the "new" gulliver, but does that mean they have the same look/properties? In hermesgroupie's leather book, she lists them with one pic, which implies yes to the question.
I have just purchased a Karo GM in swift, and it is very very smooth (like a soft box). It doesn't feel or look like my "mystery leather" gold Bolide.
Can anyone explain the texture and feel of their gulliver bag (etc.)? Is it really stiff? Does it have a teeny slight texture (almost like porc but less so)? If you have swift too, how do they compare? Are they identical in look/properties?
I would love to solve this mystery about my Bolide. Maybe it is gulliver. But my new swift leather doesn't look like this. Or feel really stiff (stiffer than my fjord Bolide). Or shine like my Bolide. It's almost like chevre, without a hint of a spine. Oy.
Any help or insight is appreciated. TIA
