Ooooh! Beautiful!!

Would you mind sharing what you think of the three different leathers??? Thanks!!

Here is my take on the leathers...
The tumbled leather feels divine to the touch because I just love the pebbly feel of the leather. There is also little maintenance needed for this type of leather. With the tumbled leather, for some reason, the smell of the leather is pretty overpowering. I find the leather odor a bit annoying sometimes but hopefully, the strong odor will subside soon. Of all the bags, this bag is probably the most travel friendly because you can actually collapse it. In fact, when it arrived, the bag was actually folded flat. I had to do a double take because I didn't expect it to be flattened! The size of the mini tumbled bucket also seemed smaller or shorter in height at first but after doing a quick compare, it is actually the same size as the others. I think the slouch of the bag makes it look smaller in size.
As for the calf leather, it is the smoothest of all. There are some natural wrinkling along the creases of where the leather bends but I love the glow that the calf leather gives off. Maybe this is because I conditioned it with apple conditioner which I got from Amazon. I've only had the chance to use this calf leather bag and found that it doesn't require a lot of care. However, if you tend to carry a lot of stuff, you have to be careful about it swinging around when you bend down etc. I actually scratched the back somehow. The marks were less noticeable only after I reapplied the apple conditioner.
Finally, for the saffiano leather, it seems like it will not require any maintenance! The leather reminds me of the LV canvas material which to me appears to be indestructible. The leather is stiff and so, when you try cinch the top of the bag, it requires some pulling in order to secure the top of the bag. I really like the color contrast though..I love all three types of leather!
Hope this helps! I included some close up pictures as well. Please don't mind the bad pics though..thanks!
