I am! I love lambskin so I'm planning to order something, probably another Angel Midi...though I've also thought about a Calista, Theia, and Minerva...
I am wondering about how thin and maybe delicate it is.
I wold not worry about a Calista in lambskin... but I am uncertain about bags with more size and with corners.
I guess I need to ask Marco to send me some leather samples, fold them and rub them against various surfaces
That would be greatI am wondering about how thin and maybe delicate it is.

Keep us updated after your “testings”.
Sooooo tempted by the lambskin leather, but I am also hesitant about how delicate it may be. I only own one lambskin bag & got an actual 2 inch cut on it shopping at a department store during the third time I wore it! Yep! Cut right thru. My local cobbler did a great job disguising it, but I was heartbroken. I am not rough on my bags, I really tend to baby them. Sooooo.....I am undecided.I am wondering about how thin and maybe delicate it is.

This Selene diamond pewter leather is so soft and puddly. I was surprised it was so soft feeling compared to my Ever rose diamond leather which although beautiful had more that plastic feeling which I expected from the metallic.
That is a really beautiful Selene.
Here is a thought for all of your calista lovers - I wonder if Marco can make a reversible one with 2 layers of lambskin in different colors

Yes, you both make good points...I guess I am going by my experience of lambskin on my Koobas and Rough & Tumbles; those actually have been pretty durable for me, though one of the bags can be prone to more scratches.
Oh @TotinScience...what a genius and brilliant idea!!!Here is a thought for all of your calista lovers - I wonder if Marco can make a reversible one with 2 layers of lambskin in different colors
I bet he can and what a clever idea!!!!!Here is a thought for all of your calista lovers - I wonder if Marco can make a reversible one with 2 layers of lambskin in different colors
I wish I was that clever - there are some versions of that on a market from other designers like Mansur Gavriel and von Holzhausen, to name a few
So I asked Marco on his thoughts on the durability of lambskin:
"As far as lambskin in general I've never considered lamb as a so 'dangerous' leather. It surely is more delicate than Pebbled or Verona or Vacchetta but, if used in the right way, it's not as risky as some people think."
I'm going to go ahead and still order an Angel Midi in dark blue lambskin. Here's a comparison photo I asked for that he sent me of taupe, dark blue, and avio lambskin leathers:

The Navy Blue really is lovely. Favorite is still the Avio.
I think your Angel will be beautiful. And those are SO your colors.
@Kimbashop, I love how you know me so well!!!
If I had added dark grey, that would complete my top 4
Anyone else ordering lambskin? Marco happened to mention that it's the exact same leather that a very high end shoe maker uses for their shoes
! I'm looking forward to my bag!
