So I got a new Box bag yesterday for a great deal! It's insanely beautiful, but I have some questions about the leather. I was wondering what kind of leather it is, what color and how the leather wears. I love it, but it looks so fragile and I am kind of OCD with my bags.
Looks like smooth calfskin in navy blue ! I just acquired a similar one 3 weeks ago. As far as I know, the leathers of Celine's box bags come in: smooth calfskin, liege, goat, spazzolato and the exotics (python, stingray, croc, etc.). Smooth calfskin and spazzolato tend to scratch very easily and goat and liege seems to hold up better. I have a liege, goat and smooth calfskin boxes and I tend to gravitate to the smooth calfskin (it IS a beautiful leather for the box) ! Hope this helps and hope you keep yours !
