Quick question: Is calfskin also called Vibrato leather?

It’s different from what I remember. @ksuromax might be able to explain better than I can. She has the same bag and the reason why I have mine.

Old school City. Circa 2005 from good ol' Barneys NY. I later purchased another city with giant rose gold studs.

How many of these do you think were made? Yours and @ksuromax 's are the only ones I've seen.

Vibrato is calfskin as well but has a more pebbled appearance than @fayden 's bag.

I was looking at this one on Fashionphile, I don't know if it feels the same, like is the leather more stiff or feels rougher? But it looks very nice and I dig the silver hardware.

I can't count how many Cities I've bought and sold. Every couple of years I try again, must be getting close to time.

 

[fayden]

But do I need a 3rd black city ?

Someone buy it and report back on the leather haha.
