I think it is gorgeous....but you have to love it...good luck deciding.Here's another photo
The right one will come Pessie, I haven't given up yet either 🙂 and you made the right call, if you had your doubts, best to return as you've done
It's hard when your used to the older leathers which did not have this 'shine', but as others noted .. it does go away over time, so I wouldn't worry about it to be honest!
Thanks CeeJay, but it's gone back now. I did think about keeping it, but honestly not sure I'd have worn it enough to wear the shine off?! It looked like crinkle patent almost. This was a new bag, but from 2015, so I might go and have a look at newer stock and see if that's a bit better
