Hi TPFers,
Has anyone notice the great difference in caviar leather for the black classic flaps??
My friend just got a black caviar ML flap from Europe and when we did a comparison, the difference was so great!! Her bag looks so shiny and jet black but then it seems so plasticky!! Yikes!!! It looks so fake and the caviar is not as pebbled as mine though the gold hardware looks better.
I have read that the old caviar are much better than the new caviar flaps but had always wonder what's the difference since I just starting my collection last year. Now I am thinking if this is a decline in quality and cost-cutting measures as price increases. Can anyone with a #15 series black flap share some info please?? Thanks!
