Did you get your sugar cane Tulipano shell?

Not yet.

I asked Marco how accurate the picture of the pewter glitter Pompei leather is. He responded very accurate especially on a good pic screen.

I love both those choices although I know I would probably pick the Zhoe because of its versatility and size.

Do you add a zipper closure to your Zhoe Legends or is the closure secure enough with just the flap?

Mine doesn’t have zipper closure and it’s secure enough. I have not had episodes of accidental opening. The snap button closes tight.

I also love the pewter. I have a pewter bag from BE and I use it all the time. I find it to be a very versatile. I use it during the day at night. I find pewter to be a more neutral shiny leather. Not sure if I am explaining myself well. I also find the lead Africa to be a neutral shiny leather another leather that I use all the time. Some of the shiny leathers I feel are not as versatile as pewter or the lead. That is just a personal opinion. Although I have thrown out all the rules when it comes to what bags I use and when. I used to follow all the so called rules now I where what I want when I want. Having said that pewter I find to be very versatile it goes with everything. I love love love this pewter Pompeii.

I also carry a pewter bag all the time and it goes with most everything I wear. The one I have which is not an MM is a subtle metallic though, not really glitzy or shiny. The pewter Pompeii looks subtle to me and would probably be very versatile.

I have not added a zipper closure to my Zhoe legends. I have it completely secure with just the flap. I have never had it open accidentally. I personally would not feel the need to add a zipper closure.

Good to know. Some ladies have added a zipper so I was curious. I have had flap bags of other brands open on me.

Anyone taking advantage of the Pompeii sale this weekend? I really like Pompeii leathers it reminds me a lot of nappa. I just cannot buy another bag as tempted as I am especially with the new glitter Pompeii leathers. The pewter is so tempting!!!

I’m not. I just got my big shipment. But from what I only got to touch mine, the Pompei is really for structured bag which is rarely my thing. But I may change my mind for a full size Valerie in Bordeaux. But that will have to wait until I get home and try on all my Little Valerie first.

The sugarcane surprised me since it does not exactly reflect light as crazy as the diamond leather and so super smooth. I think this leather could be prefect for any structured day-time bag. It also may actually make a neat and sophisticated clutch. I like the shine and sheen that I saw when I unpack the box. It made good impression on me. But it’s definitely structured compare to the Nappa I ordered, too. The Nappa already soften a bit and I know it’ll get even more soften with time. I may even have to go back and check the tag to see if it’s really Nappa, not Merino. But that’ll have to wait until tonight

I can't wait to see Vink's sugar can Valerie. I don't think I've seen a reveal of the sugar cane color.

I can tell you right now it’s definitely a light pastel pastel blue. I tried to find the exact shade on the color chart, but afraid my memory may quite be fuzzy so.... [emoji28] But the photo on the blog is quite accurate. That’s what I can tell. [emoji4]

I posted a picture of a sugarcane Pompei cuff some pages ago which I think reflected the color pretty well. @vink is dead on with her description.

I have a swatch of the sugar cane . Just wondering how an entire bag in it would look.

Marco said that Pompei is lighter than pebbled. Here’s his full quote from the blog:

“Pompei is perfect to create quite structured bags. It is thicker than Merinos and Nappa but the weight is less than Pebbled. It creates an effect similar to Natural Flat Calf. It is a long lasting leather, ideal for daily stress. The surface has stunning light, not glossy but not matte, just beautiful light!”

Thank you.

I have the second batch of dark taupe vacchetta and it's smooth. The color is still very nice and I think is similar to the first batch, but the texture is different. From the photo, it seems like the first batch has some texture to it, while my second batch is very smooth and has no texture at all.

Thanks so much for the info. I really want a dark taupe bag, but am afraid Valerie in vachetta would be very heavy....

The dark taupe nappa looks very much like the dark taupe vachetta second batch. That would be a lightweight option.

I will let you know as soon as I get my outer Little Tulipano bag in Sugar cane. I can't wait as I think it will be such a lovely contrast with the amethyst Pompeii. The amethyst Pompeii is such a stunning vibrant color.
