Hi Green Jewel

I havent seen any striped lining myself but its entirely possible. Tano often switches up their linings depending on whats available at the factory. I just saw some camoflauge lining in some tumbleweed bags last week. In the past the linings were often bright orange, sometimes pink, etc.

Thanks TE!
Wow- camouflage! I would like to see that! Are there bags with non-solid linings at MHB?

I cant discuss my store's inventory here on TPF- I can only discuss Tano bags in general.
If you have q's about my store you need to contact my store directly. Thanks!

Oops, okay- np. I'll just peruse the website then. Thanks again!

Hi Tano Expert,
I've been awol from purse forum for a while (trying to be good).
Anyway I just got this Minilisa who was previously loved. The seller said it was blueberry, but I had a blueberry Minilisa and it was darker. What color is this one? The shot of me carrying the bag is pretty accurate, color wise, as is the close up of the zipped pocket.

Actually the last photo is the least accurate color wise.

I think its berry blue from spring 2009. It def. not blueberry.

Thanks for the super quick reply.

Hello TE,
I found another TANO today, and it is style #4644. I found it online, it is the "Something for Everyone." My question is about the leather. It is a sort of bronze color, but looks REALLY flaky, almost "ashy," in a way. Because it looks so flaky, it looks fuzzy-ish. Sorry to be so vague with the description, but it looks dried out to me. The salesperson told me it is supposed to look like that, but this person was no TANO expert, and I'm skeptical. Have you ever seen leather that looks like this, and is it damaged/dried out? Sorry I can't provide a photo. Thank you!

I have this bag, and there is a thread about it. This is what it should look like (mine is charcoal gray). The bag is made of thin, drapey leather. What you describe doesn't sound right.

Funny - I went back to the TJ Maxx today and found another TANO bag in like a burnt orange color - it was exactly like you described. Almost ashy, fuzzishy and rough feeling. I couldn't figure it out and just put it back.

Yes; Peeking Around, that is how it was -- looked like it was peeling or flaking. I was wondering if it was just dry and needs leather care of some kind, but have so far resisted buying it but I like the color.

Thanks, Oboogie, for the links to the other thread.

Hey TE, is there a major difference in color between the brick and brown sugar?

[tano expert]

Brick is more red/bordeaux/cordovan. Brown sugar is like a chocolate brown- no red tones.

What's the best leather conditioner for a boogie bucket crunch leather?

 

[tano expert]

I use lexol on my crunch / lux bags. It works great.
