I scored a Clayton! I could not let it pass me by. Sweet spot price of $138. The listing says nwt and I believe it’s brown tmoro, the color I wanted. It appears to be smooth and in new condition. Should be here next week. I also scored another zip flap fold over crossbody in denim. I LOVE THIS BAG.I just missed the crimson one the same seller put up for sale. I am very happy to add these 2 to my collection.

My Clayton came today! It’s brown tmoro and smooth all over. Just what I wanted. It’s an older one with that thick thick Florentine leather and it has the snap on one of the slip pockets. it is in very good condition, no wear showing on the pockets or anywhere really. The pockets aren’t even bent and out of shape. Super clean inside and boy is she pretty. I am really happy I was able to grab her for my collection, and at the price I paid $138 she was well worth it…

YAY! I got excited just reading your excitement! I love when a preloved bag makes me just as happy or happier than a new bag.
Enjoy!

It’s such a good feeling when you open the box and it’s is barely used condition. I’m very happy it’s the older thick thick Florentine. I can’t believe how good she looks and smells being older. She looks like she was barely carried. She was cold sitting on the porch and the seller stuffed her in a tiny box, I’m not to happy about that. But she looks fabulous after I stuffed her.
to be honest if I ordered a new one and it was pebbled I wouldn’t be this happy….

This is something I’ve been meaning to ask about. In particular, the sibling to your Clayton, my Kingston is very pebbled. Does anyone know why that happens?
It’s just the leather. Some is smooth and some pebbled the first brown tmoro coin case is pebbled and the navy is not as pebbled. Chest nut front is smooth and the back not so much

Kitty: Florentine is a natural leather, full grained. It's not embossed to create a grain
or sanded to make it ultra smooth or processed in other ways that can alter/enhance
the finish. As a result, some pieces are smooth and some are pebbled. Collectors might
have a preference for one or the other, but unless you are looking over a handbag in a
store, there is no way to know if the bag you get will be smooth or pebbled, or a combination of both.

In my opinion, Dooney could set standards and select pieces of leather that
produced handbags that were always smooth Florentine leather. The result would
be that the price of the bags would be significantly higher than they already are.
