Thank you for your response HermesLuv! I am about to order the maxi double flap caviar today and just went into a panic when I saw the photos you posted.
is 'softer washed caviar' what the single maxi currently is?
I think it depends on the colour of caviar your going for. l have just purchased a black cav maxi (double flap) GHW yesterday. l have to say it is a lot more structured than l first thought. Looking at the patent flaps and brown cruise flaps in store l would agree with Hermesluv in that they are washed and seem very thin..
Thank you for the comparison pictures. It's very helpful to those who are deciding between the single flap and double flap, though single flaps will soon be a thing in the past and unattainable brand new. Congratulations on the single flap!
