Hey guys
I just bought a medium classic flap in ecru colour from the new FW collection from the rue Cambon store in Paris. There was only one left in ecru and I have been looking for a bag in a neutral colour!
The saleslady said this was in iridescent calfskin although it looked pretty similar to the caviar leather. Can I check with the knowledgeable ladies of TPF what the differences are with the caviar and how sturdy the iridescent calfskin is? I'm a little worried about maintenance as the ecru is a very light cream colour. Does anyone know how to upkeep the leather and what to do with stains etc, does a non-alcohol wipe work with iridescent colour? Lots of posters here have said this works with caviar but not with lambskin, but I have not seen many posts on the iridescent calfskin.
I saw the beige caviar medium flap as well but went for the ecru as I am Asian and the beige caviar just disappeared against my skin colour!
Happy to put up pictures as well although I have forgotten how to post pictures...
For those interested in current pricing, it was Euro 2450. Other colours I saw were the burgundy/bordeaux colour, khaki and of course, in black. There were some grey patents as well.
