I used them as everyday bags for several months before noticing corner wear and fading colors. No holes or anything, but it makes me hesitate to buy another lamb bag
Notice Marco says it is a good vintage look. Vintage / old.
I think that's why it would be best for puddly bags! Corners would be the first to go with lambskin. That beings said, I have a lambskin bag that I've used twice (lol) without being particularly careful, and no scratches. I do quite enjoy the vintage, lived-in look and I'm a sucker for a smooth leather that gets scratches. I love love love the way lambskin feels and highly recommend.

I too would like a lambskin Calista, but I am just not quite ready to buy another shoulder bag, having just bought a hobo last month.
 
Marco may have better quality than the mid range bags I purchased. Dior and Chanel lamb is rumored to hold up well.
I have a R&T lambskin hobo and it definitely acquires and loses scuffs all the time - some reviewer very accurately described it as a "your dad's favorite leather jacket", very lived in but in a good way. However, Bottega Veneta makes their intreccio bags from lambskin and they last years.
 
Hi ladies, received a notice of attempt delivery on Friday from the Post office, but I couldn't get down to pick up until today. My beautiful new Modena's! Iris Merinos with gunmetal hardware, and Marine blue Merino with silver hardware. Even though other linings where no extra, I decided not to hurt my head trying to make a choice! Here are some so-so pics, sorry I am a terrible photographer. P_20181010_145940.jpgP_20181010_150239.jpg

As always, the leathers are so beautiful irl! I'm in love already with the Marine blue, it's such an all season color. And the Iris is so me, although it doesn't match my hair, which is lavender and blond!

Iris! :yes:
 
I keep thinking abt those beautiful swatch photos. It’s really a stunning leather.
I was so taken with the swatch photos that Marco sent me. I have the original photos which are amazing. As I indicated tpf doesn't allow large photos which I understand. The originals are 15mb I did my best when I resized them to make sure they still looked like the originals especially the color. I loved the leather. I am still drooling over it and wondering if I should get something in lamb. It is so tempting.
