I am contemplating on a kelly long wallet. I have an opportunity to get either a tangerine ostrich or orange chevre mysore and was wondering which leather would be more hardy? I have read that ostrich darkens over time and the colors won't be as nice as they use to be. I don't particularly love or hate ostrich, I just wondered whether it is a more durable leather for a wallet.
On another note, I fell in love with four tails' pink chevre KLW but when I went to the store the pink seemed a little bright but washed out (can't describe it properly)? They did not have the pink wallet in the store, I actually saw the pink on a PHW jypsiere (I think it was swift or some other smooth leather, I did not take a good look). Could it be that it was because the pink was on a smooth leather and on a large surface that I felt it was too bright? I do love small leather goods with a pop of color, but I am unsure of this pink now. Does anyone else here have a pink KLW that can share a pic here? If I do choose pink, I wonder whether gold HW would make the pink look a little warmer (hopefully it makes sense)? Here is a pic of four tails wallet with PHW, I hope she does not mind...
Would really appreciate your inputs, ladies and gents! Thanks!
