One thing I will say is the Muse breaks in a GREAT deal. After a few months it's not nearly as stiff as it is in the beginning.
My muse finally arrived today. Though it's a large, I'm surprised that it's not big. The tag is baffalo africa. It's not as great as I thought. Now I'm thinking should I return it or not
there really is a calfskin muse coming soon:
it's on preorder at neiman marcus (tentative arrival in september). they have it labeled as "updated muse tote"...i guess since the leather is now calfskin and not buffalo. you can definitely tell it's calf as it's very smooth and shiny, like hermes box leather (which is also calf) however i'm not sure if this one is as stiff as hermes box.
