Do you think everyday use would be a problem with just the quilted one?

According to Longchamp.com, the quilted Amazones are made of lambskin and the smooth Amazones are made of cowhide. Sometimes the website descriptions are not entirely accurate, however. Probably worth checking with Longchamp customer service by phone or in a boutique to hear what they say about the nature of the leather and its durability. It's possible that the lambskin is blended with other leather to make it stronger, for instance, as in the "Metis" leather of LC's Cuir line.
I was in NY the last few days and made it in to the Madison and Soho boutiques. Received wonderful and incredibly helpful service in both. There were some great bags on sale, and I was quite tempted by a few. Loved all the rich blues in some of the lines. The turquoise Penelope is particularly stunning if you like such colors. I had no intent to purchase, but in Soho I fell in love with the (Pilot?) blue Penelope. Almost bought the large, but decided on the medium instead, as I already know I love that size. They didn’t have one on display, but the manager hunted around and found one in the cupboard for me. I’ve been looking for the right shade of slate blue forever and this comes pretty close. I also loved the Pilot Blue and Lipstick Roseau Croco totes with the metallic interiors, and the Equestrian print totes. I may have a few more purchases in my near future!
I also got the Mademoiselle line out of my system. They are so so cool but just won’t work for me. Same with Madeline. Love the look but now know I can’t do the styles. Was really glad to be able to inspect them in person.
One funny...while I was at Soho, a little girl, maybe around 5-ish, helped me choose my bag. She was shopping with her mom, and had her own cute little purse. We talked about bags and fireworks! She had great taste! LOL!

Yay for you! Sounds like a fun shopping trip and congrats on your new Penelope! Would love to see a pic.
It is too bad the Mademoiselle won't work for you. I find it incredibly functional (and chic of course) and I wore my gray one all over France last month. But I understand we all have different tastes and style preferences. I'm the same with the Madeleine however; it is coming in khaki for fall and I'm tempted to get the crossbody just for the color but the style just doesn't do it for me and I've got to keep telling myself no, no, no Cosmo, lol!

Oh my, I am loving these! Clean lines and chic designs.
When I saw that MAD is coming out with a khaki, I thought it might be the answer for you. It's a pity that the style doesn't work for you'm the same with the Madeleine however; it is coming in khaki for fall and I'm tempted to get the crossbody just for the color but the style just doesn't do it for me and I've got to keep telling myself no, no, no Cosmo, lol!

Oh yes! A pic would help...lol. I included a few. This bag is incredibly difficult to photograph true to color. None of these are true, actually. It’s darker than the lightest color and lighter than the middle color. It’s blue with gray undertones.

What a great blue-gray color! It will work with lots of other colors. Don't think I had seen a pic of the Penelope in regular leather in Pilot Blue until yesterday when longchamp.com updated for fall. Here's the stock pic in case you want it. Congrats again on your pretty bag!
