I would go for the bi-colour brighton in clemence.. It looks like a very special bag that you won't see that often anywhere. And epsom is really not my choice of leather at all, though it looks beautiful in indigo..
But, after all I vote for the blue brighton in clemence!

Hi Ladies,

Can anyone let me know more regarding box leather? Is it very hard to maintain/take care? If it does, does it worth the effort (compared to leathers like clemence or togo or fjord?

I have a black evergrain KP and I found the leather just fabulous :tup:

For me box is the most beautiful leather but sadly I couldn't own one as box doesn't do at all well in wet weather and as this part of world is wet most of the year I couldn't risk it

Hi Mooks,

Singapore has a wet weather too. It sucks :tdown:. I hate it when it rains and I happen to wear my fave bag or shoes... (sigh)

Can box leather be refurbished (sent in for a spa)? IF you do not use it often enough and store, will the leather have any problem?

^^ w.y.h there have been much discussion on Box leather in this forum. When the search function is up, you could find out more. Personally I am fan of this leather even with its negative points - incidentally, all leather types would have their positive and negative aspects. Box refurbishes well although it is definitely not for the faint hearted as the flaws (scratches etc) do show up clearly. It does patina beautifully when used well and this would help to tone down the glare of blemishes.

An update: I have gotten the Raisin box, but I sent it for cleaning (spa) right away, and the Singapore H craftsman has so much queues of bags to repair, It will take 3 months :sad:. But the raisin color is just fabulous!

Congrats! If the store has accepted it for cleaning then it is most definitely authentic, so you can rest your mind!

Thank you so much. Yes, they did accepted it. But I did not see the craftsman though, just the SA. But nevertheless, should they find anything wrong, they will give me a call, right?
