Help Me Decide Which Leather Is Better!

i vote for 2 - i think what you're looking at is wrinkles, not veins, which smooth and smoosh out over time. i think the wrinkles will look incredible with this color and BTW - Bal NY takes crappy pics! the lighting in their store really sucks :yucky:
 
This is a tough one. Both are beautiful in their own way. So it will come down to preference. I think the smooth leather makes the bag look dressier and the distressed leather looks more casual. I kinda leaning toward the bag#2 because the distressed look gives the bbag more character.:graucho:
 
Oh ladies, I'm so confused! My husband says he likes the second one because it's more "interesting" looking. He's such a cutie. Has anyone had the experience of the veins turning into wrinkles?
