My problem is less with the styles and more with the shiny, pebbled leather. To me it has a very delicate city look to it. I think it has its place and obviously a lot of people love it. But, I want to carry my Coach bag to the stable, the farmer's market, the ball game, etc. I want it to be of sturdy leather with a matte finish. I also want all the cool details, braids, pouches, fringe, studs...
I'm willing to pay for the leather I need. I'd rather get 1 expensive bag each season, or 2 a year that are really fabulous, than a half dozen bags that don't fit my lifestyle... Is there any chance that pieced Kira is of a thick leather, sadly, it looks to have a shine...
