Wow, I thought the chocolate brown looked gorgeous...but somehow this looks even better. You did an amazing job, I doubt H would even be able to tell! (Though I wouldn't risk it!)
Your skill is amazing and your courage even more so.
The difference in appearance between the two colour ways is much greater than I would have imagined.
The brown made the bag look softer and very stylish; however the black/grey looks absolutely right.
I can understand why you had to make the change. If your aesthetic told you that the glazing needed to be black/grey you could never have lived with it in brown.
@frankiextah, you did such an extraordinary job , it looks perfect! I would have felt the same disappointment as you regarding the brown resin. I think the black resin really looks more polished with the grey leather. Sending many congrats on your perseverance and for a job so well done! You must be so pleased!
