Report on my dark green trinity.
First impression, it’s light! Very light! Much lighter than a Verona. I haven’t weighted it coz I don’t have a scale, but I can really tell by holding one in each side and trinity is obviously much lighter.
The leather is significantly thinner than a pebble. Maybe about Merino level or could be even a bit thinner. Maybe this is the reason why it’s light weight.
The color is nice like a dark leafy green. It’s definitely the color of a dark green leaves. Pure green. No blue undertone. May lean toward yellow, but not so obvious. It’s a leaf that if we leave it there longer it’ll turn yellowed during the fall foliage.
The texture is not as deep as the Verona. I mean the lines on Verona are very deep and it’s definitely more prominent. This one is much more shallow. Like pebble’s, actually.
The smell is different from Verona. I do notice some oil smell. Maybe the coating? But it doesn’t feel plastic. It still feels like leather.
And I agree with another girl that this leather is treated differently from Verona in the term of dyeing . The color seems to only sit on top since I can see the real leather color through some very bending area. It’s like this leather got treated the way Vacchetta got dyed, the color sit on top. I don’t hate it, but it makes me curious how it’ll look aging.
I think this bag will do great with structured bags. I haven’t used it yet so I can’t tell if it’ll slouch more over time, although it can bend well enough, but at least, structured bag will help the color with all the less bendy parts.
All in all, I don’t dislike the bag, but I kinda curious how it’ll look after lots of use. Will the creases show? Etc.
