I bought the Goldenbleu Marilyn in chocolate, and just received it. I like the shape and design, but the leather is very glossy and thin- almost pleather-ish. Does anyone else have a marilyn and feel the same way? Does it get better with age? Since I'm not crazy about the texture, I am inclined to return it but it was such a good deal!(50% off!) Should I just return it?

What I may want to get instead if I return the marilyn :amuse: :

Right now I am liking the first one more because of the metallic colour and the wrap-around strap. It's definitely more unique looking; but I think the second one is definitely more practical and will last a longer time. Also, the second one seems like it will match a larger variety of outfits.
