I think Crunch leather may not be for me.

Love the crunch, sorry it's not for you. My Carte Blanche is a different leather and a "heavier" type, though not heavy to carry. Some of the new models coming out are non-crunch, maybe you'll find your perfect Tano then!

last seasons velvet and next seasons plush might be more your thing. The crunch leather is lightweight, and that's one of its selling points. There is another leather coming out for Fall, a metallic nappa, which is even lighter than crunch!
 
At first I thought the crunch leather was too thin. Now I really appreciate the weightlessness of it. I carry enough in my bag....it helps if the bag itself is not heavy.
 
^^ Oh wow I really like that. I'm a lover of all different kinds of leathers but Tano's lightweight crunch really hits the spot when I need a bigger bag and am using it for school.
