I love my Anchor Grey Sheen Calista :love:. I have never before owned or wanted a shiny leather, but love it in slouchy Calista

Not sure how to take care of it.
It seems very resiliant, but because I love it I feel a (maybe unecessary) need to protect it.

Do any of you have experience in using Bick 4 (or any other product) on Sheen / Athene?

I have used Bick4 on my Celeste Athene (sheen) Selene. It doesn't seem to be a problem, but you might want to test it out in a place that no one can readily see, just in case.

Would everyone who has Bordeaux or midnight tuscania post a pic that features the tone of the hardware against the leather? I'm totally unable to choose hardware on my 3rd and 4th Astras and I even have bags work two of the three I'm considering (gold and dark gunmetal). But I'm thinking silver could be nice on Bordeaux.... But gold and dark gunmetal would be nice too! I think I'm going for gold for midnight but silver is not out of the question!

@SouthernPurseGal,
I have been in exactly the same conundrum as you with my Dark Chocolate Pebbled from the clearance sale :panic:.
Marco sent me excellent photos of the leather with all the different hardware.

I still could not make up my mind :eek:

In the end I asked him to keep the bag / leather on hold and send me a leather sample to enable me to decide which hardware I want :P.

I decided dark gunmetal is just so Art Deco Astra perfect. For monochromatic Bordeaux tuscania. Gold and dark blue is one of my favorite combinations so that one must be gold and I think it will be dressier, although dark gunmetal hardware never looks shabby either. I ended up deciding that because all 3 of my other Astras will have a contrasting lock closure that really stands out. So I wanted tone on tone for Bordeaux. Or near to it.

Would you guys be willing to pay to jump the queue, if Marco offered that as a possibility? I feel like it isn't unheard of that businesses sometimes offers a rush order option for a surcharge. I feel like I would be happy to pay extra for that, even if it were €100. Am I weird?

We might not be the right people to ask, as you jumping the queue would delay our orders :whut:;)

But to answer your question, I would rather put the money towards another bag. Also, part of me enjoys impatiently looking forward to my bags arriving. Like a kid counting down to Christmas day.

Same, I would rather put that money towards another bag.
Also, I rather like the surprise of receiving a white box suddenly after forgetting what I ordered.
For me, the waiting is part of the bespoke experience.
Shipping is also a bit faster now, as it's gone from 2.5 months to 1 month for me while it was one week for delivery before.

I like not knowing exactly when I will get that email saying my bag has been shipped. If I were just beginning my bag journey I would probably be less patient, but I have plenty of bags to enjoy while waiting for one.
