Finally! Thanks to my kind Canadian buddy... I owe this little baby finding her way to me. New to my porch this morning, (I had no idea this leather was so lovely...) a fuzzy, sparkly 03 black Monk First. Heavier than chèvre, but worth every ounce..

I have never even touched or seen monk IRL. So this is about as exotic as it gets in my book. Congrats on your new, super rare lovely!

Ahhh. Thank you!❤️ I’ve been searching for one of these ever since I realized they existed. I’ve seen one other that was very worn, so much so, that most of the sparkly finish was gone. So very surprised and tickled that this is how they are meant to look.

Sparkly, you say ?

It is very different than our delicate leathers. As I mentioned, it is heavier, and also pretty thick. Seems sturdy. Except I believe the sparkly finish can deteriorate.

I was just reminded that I missed Fayden’s burgundy Monk!!! I had no idea at the time. I was pretty oblivious about these bags.

It’s a thick suede with a crust.

Interesting and apt way to describe it. I’ve been trying to find more info on this type of leather. Coming up empty when using the “Monk,” term. Anyone know if there is a more precise name for this kind of suede?

Very pretty and unusual color. Elephant is perfect. Am I the only one who thinks elephants are good luck? Or is it common knowledge?

News to me, but I'll adopt it.

Why Are Elephants Lucky? — The Anthrotorian

Though in some parts of the world, elephants are used as tractors or kept in zoos, in others they are treated like gods and are symbols of luck.

We're close to the same vintage, surely you remember this...

I believe it is called crackled suede.

Congrats on adding this beautiful color to your collection . I think BL is very special. We are bag twins — my BL City was my first Bbag ever. I haven’t used mine in awhile — seeing yours is inspiring me to take mine out soon, maybe next week/month . Enjoy.

Thank you. I saw yours when I was researching this color. It convince me to buy this one. Post more pics!
