Dolma Dilemma- which Twiggy would you choose?

[pilatesworks]

I have 2 Dolma Twiggys- help me decide which one to keep!
PS: NOT soliciting, just asking for opinions!

Bag 1 : lovely and marbeled, beautiful coloring.
The leather has a patina on it, and it is not soft.

Bag 2 : this one was sent to LMB for repairs on the handle and corner, the leather is much softer, but it is more of a matte green. No real marbeling.

As far as I know, neither one has been re-dyed.

Dolma #1 gets my vote. Very nice!

No question about it, I love the silkiness of bag #2. HTH!

 

[ahertz]

I personally don't love marbling and I love soft, slouchy leather so the winner for me is definitely #2. The leather on that one is so gorgy!

Color comparison with the two Twiggys, and a Dolma city.
The darker Twiggy ( bag 2) has just had a moisturizing treatment at LMB, and is the color of the mirror and tag inside the bag- it had faded quite a bit, and the moisturizing treatment seems to have brought some of the color back :

I like the 2nd one much better. The leather looks so soft and silky, number one looks a bit dry.

Wow, just saw the "before" picture of bag #2, amazing transformation! LMB did a terrific job.

i prefer the color evenness of bag #2! the leather looks great too.
