Either Sheen or Tuscania would hide scratches due to their creased/distressed finish, also have you thought of merinos? hardwearing and difficult to scratch, with a light natural grain.

Nappa wears well without scratching easily and it works well for the Sabrina style.
I’m biased but I’d say nappa is the best Sabrina leather
Merinos is very soft and pliable even when new, it suits slouchy styles best. If you wanted a Sabrina that kept its shape more, nappa would be a good choice as already suggested by Orchidmyst and TotinScience.
It's when you hold the bag with the flaps up that the Sabrina might slouch if it's made of Merinos.
If you carry the Sabrina style with the messenger strap, then Merinos retains the bag shape fine.
Merinos is lighter than Nappa, although for the Sabrina Midi it might not make much difference in weight.
If it is for the bigger Sabrina, then there would be a significant weight difference.
I have my bag picked out and am ready to order if he does!Maybe Marco will give us a Tuscania promo for a V-Day
? It's just my wishful thinking, I don't have any intel or anything
Ahh...ic. hmmm..maybe nappa and merino colour block would give it some structure.
I was about to finally purchase my little athena shoulder bag... i had chosen the leather and modifications, which were ok’d by Marco.
When a student slashed my tires! Yay... now all the budget is going to that. Bye bye bag for a while. I’m just going to sit here and enjoy the thread from the beginning... tell me you’ve got bags on your way, I need to hear some good news today!

I received part 1 of my Verona promo order today. Marco keeps outdoing himself!
First up is my “summer bag”, Clio in amber Verona with sage lining, silver HW, and wider 1.2” crossbody strap. The online swatch colour is spot on, I think my photo pulled a bit mustard yellow. It’s a more toned down yellow and not in your face, can’t wait to take her out when the weather warms up. And the leather, it’s phenomenal. You have to really see (and touch) verona to know how wonderful it is. It’s by far my favourite MM leather (ties with tuscania).
This one is my favourite MM bag to date, dethroning my dark green nappa Little Minerva (and I love that bag a lot). Purple velvet verona Calista midi has silver lining and silver HW. I love her so much
It’s such a saturated purple, and I should’ve gotten more bags in velvet verona when I had the chance!
