I was at barneys in chicago yesterday, and the SA pulled out a bunch of brown bags to compare to my mogano, which I had with me. (She wanted to see what all the fuss was about because I'd been looking for it and she couldn't find it for me.) Anyways, one of the bags she pulled was a truffle day that they had, and the color definitely wasn't as rich- this one was also quite veiny (white veins), and felt smoother and stiff, especially in comparison to my mogano. None of that tdf smooshiness. However, I noticed that barneys in chicago doesn't have the best leather- almost everything she pulled out- including a cafe with GGH and a sienna- had stiffer leather with white veins. My mogano was from the barneys in NYC.
I actually think that truffle is a great neutral, if the leather is nice. Tooshies truffle is stunning, but it also took work. it seems that truffle leather tends to be stiff with white veins.
