That is the leather of the "First" (the one I purchased). I tried buying a First before but sold it because it was too small. This one is going to be a keeper though; especially now that my husband and I actually get to go on "dates" now.
becca, just saw your post above that it is the blueberry. so, you decided to give it a go... while waiting for the indigo. congrats to you! the leather on the first is so much better. enjoy!
The first picture is of the Blueberry City that Sherise has in stock and the second picture is the Blueberry First that I purchased from Sherise today; I was torn between the two so the store sent me close up pics of the leather.
