The shimmer leather is gorgeous and a really soft suede, however the SA warned me it cannot be cleaned with coach products, and cleaning it with water may leave marks. I opted against it because of this, and was really disappointed because the shimmer is TDF!
GO FOR IT! She's beautiful! I just wanted to let you know since I didn't realize until the SA told me.Too bad. It is sure perty. I may risk it anyway. heehee
I *THINK* I am going to go order the parchment Audrey Flagship Embossed Exotic Tote (17027) The hardware is rosegold and I am hoping I love it. I have been searching for a great white(ish) bag. I also love the Navy patent version. The blue resin mixed into the hardware is beautiful. It's very reminiscent of the Ella. Maybe I will get a navy in the Andie cinched design. Maybe I will be squished under all my handbags in an avalanche! I am a total handbag glutton!:shame:
The shimmer sophia is made from that shimmery goat leather and is delicate. However, I have a couple of bags in this leather and so far (knock on wood) no problems and they have been pelted with rain btw with no damage. HTH!
