Here are two of my vacchetta handbags, Divina Midi and Zhoe Legend. They are about three years old. Both are in rust vacchetta. This leather has so much character. It’s the polar opposite of nappa, which to me is smooth and bland. And, that’s fine for other bag styles, e.g., the classic satchel or flap bags. I have two nappa Massaccesi bags as well in the more conservative styles (Athena and Little Athena).
On the other hand, vacchetta is more captivating to me. It more obviously gets better and better with use. The leather was naturally stiff at first; it softens a little over time yet maintains structure.
My Zhoe Legend has been places, and it shows. That’s why I love it so much.
