Plonge is VERY soft & quite delicate leather .. not at all structured (in my opinion !) my Plonge Bays' would sit in a "puddle" of herself when not full / stuffed !!!! - I love Plonge, but, it is easily damaged (cut / torn) & once marked (eg colour transfer / water) it is nigh on impossible to clean without making it worse .. Mushroom is an odd colour ? I think it is more of a nude with a pink tinge BUT that may depend on the item & from when it was made ? Mulberry have had the habit of using the same colour name, but changing the actual colour (for instance Plaster Pink name is used for at least 2 diff' colours, one is quite a pale pink, the other far more orange/pink) .. Don't let any of this put you off ?!! I'd happily buy Plonge items as I adore the feel of the leather, just be aware it's not really an "every day" leather xx's
