I personally prefer the smooth leather too .....it's interesting how people here all have different tastes and preferences. Over on the Bal forum there was a fuss made over a pebbled leather bag. They made their name on the smooth leather but I guess people liked seeing something new.
A new thread for renewed RM love including OS bags!

I actually like both smooth and pebbly leather. Wouldn’t say I really have a preference but bag linings do matter to me
again we're all different....I guess I have preferences in RM linings since there are so many different ones but lining isn't a deal breaker for meI actually like both smooth and pebbly leather. Wouldn’t say I really have a preference but bag linings do matter to me
New black MAB and Matinee arrived. Haven't had much time to do much with them but they are beautiful. Was trying to figure out if the Matinee was stonewashed since it is really soft smooth leather but it seems different than my stonewash MAM so I don't know what it is? Sorry these turned out kind of dark but just wanted to share some quick pictures. 
ETA - @Shelby33 thinks the Matinee might be Night leather which would probably make sense since it's super soft but shiner and slightly different feeling than Stonewash. Does anyone have a Night leather bag??
Black (not stonewash haha... didn't mean to type that) MAB (thanks @Jeepgurl76 !)... this bag is so squishy and I'm interested to test out the MAB size since it seems to be a favorite for people.

Thanks for helping me search! For anyone wondering I found a reference to this particular Matinee deep in the forum and it was just sold as "New Black" in 2008 but people said the leather seems to be Midnight.
Congrats on your new black bags! Love the black Mattie and FYI the black MAB was mine that I sent to TRR where Carrie bought it-lol! Sisterhood of the traveling black MAB! And yes, it has amazing leather!!New black MAB and Matinee arrived. Haven't had much time to do much with them but they are beautiful.
