I bought two pieces from the waning Hayden-Harnett online sale last week. They came today, and I ended up just not loving the feel of the leather (or the colors, for that matter).
They are the lorca in eggplant and the turnlock wallet in grey. The purple of the lorca is a LOT more intense than on the website, the leather on both feels sort of stiff, and they smell kind of weird. Do they just need time to be broken in? I'm used to botkier and francesco biasia that were butter-soft from day 1.
Here are pics of both. To be fair, I should have expected the eggplant to be too intense for me, as I'm used to camels and light turquoises (purple was a new gamble), but it is a LOT darker and solid-looking than the one on the website.
