Anyone heard of rio leather just bought purse from Shepton Mallet??

[rachiem]

Hi I've just bought a padlock wallet (unseen) from The Shepton Outlets.
They told me it is rio leather... quite close to darwin but shinier??
It is a medium choc sized one and was £105, I know I can exchange if I don't like it etc but has anyone seen one of these??

Oooo,no sorry I have'nt,but if anyone could post a pic I am very curious.....xx

I saw the padlock wallets when I was there. They are very nice, quite chunky and, yes, a bit shinier than the matt leather of the darwin ones.

thanks Sara Jane, I prefer the smaller ones, but my purse is always bulging and I really need a larger size one!!
I must admit my bags tend to look quite shiny with all the polishing, feel a bit more confident about it now!!

My Ayler is rio but I don't have any pics of that.

DH's Antony (which he *still* hasn't been given as there are another 2 weeks until his birthday) is in chocolate Rio. It's very like Darwin but shinier and less prone to scratching, imo. I'll try and find the photo I posted...

Here they are:

It's not quite as shiny IRL.


Congrats on another fab Mulberry purchase, rachiem, looking forward to pics. Is it going under the tree?!

Ditab, thanks so much for going to all the trouble!! Really appreciated.
I've been considering a purse for a while, but ebay looks like a no no, there's just too many fakes.
The rio leather looks really nice and I think it will go well with my other bags.
This is definately one to go under the tree!!!
