I'm confused, so I hope someone could help me. How different is the "Vibrato" from the leather used on the Metallic Edge bags? Just looking at the photos, they look very similar.

I have both, the Vibrato is, like muchstuff said, grained calfskin. It's matte and thick, slightly "spongy" feeling, apparently some members think it is like the Mulberry spongy calfskin but I'm not familiar with Mulberry myself so I'm not sure.The metallic edge uses goatskin, which is also grain, but not in the same pattern. It has a shiny finish, and feels "chewy" to me.

Pic: top is vibrato, bottom is metallic edge. These are the swatches that came with my two city bags:

He's an amazing person.
I'm probably gonna choose the black vibrato. It's gonna be my fourth black city, but I figure why change a good thing? :biggrin:
As you can tell, I'm very adventurous with my color choices :giggle:
HA I love it! Thanks for all of your awesome pic posts! Your avatar always makes me smile big!

Yes, very helpful! Thanks for the explanation. I can't seem to view the photo, though? But anyway, thanks again. My wallet might not be as grateful, though, as I just might use this difference as an excuse to get a new Bal. Haha!
 
Oh wow, thanks for uploading it again. I see the difference now, with the swatches side by side. The "Vibrato" looks thicker and smooshier, if that makes sense. And I think we have the same color Metallic Edge!

Do you have the rouge brique from last year?? The leather is truly lovely for it too, I love both my bal cities to death!
 
I finally got the pleasure of seeing one IRL love the leather! I'm very tempted to get one, if I just didn't buy a ME town I would take the plunge without hesitation. But I may have to sell that in order to justify buying this one. I hope they keep this line going and we get new colors in the s/s season.
