Oh no... that's the first time I've heard of issues with the slate blue leather - have you asked for a replacement?Such a wonderful bag and colour. Congratulations. This particular one is in amazing condition. I have just returned one to m.com which was a poor example, wafer thin leather and crumpled. Yours on the other hand, is amazing. You've got a beauty there. Enjoy every minute x
I'd always thought the slate leather felt thicker and less slouchy even though it's soft buffalo... am awaiting confirmation that mine is on its way (ordered in Thurs) - wonder if they are actually awaiting more return stock and I will get the one you sent back!!!
