Thank you! I totally agree that if the new XL hobo was Métis leather, it would be in my collection, too.Lovely collection you have there, such beautiful colours! Very true that the squish was part of the appeal, like older Bal bagsit's a real pity that Longchamp discontinued the Cuir line. I'd buy the new Xtra hobo immediately, sight unseen, if it were in Métis leather. What's the point of a rigid, structured hobo?
Yep, this is Cuir Métis leather, and AFAIK, it was a US exclusive. We never had them available here in France. They don't make this style in the new cowhide Xtra line.
