I think you're right. It's the shiny leather that is too much and it makes the bag look like plastic and it seems almost fake. I like the silver and lilac though, good ting Zalando has free returns!
I understand completely. I'm not a fan of Patent Leather, personally. It always looks so plastic to me. Any kind of real shiny treated leather gets the same reaction from me. I love the combination of the Lilac & Silver but I think the shiny leather would bother me as well. Glad you're able to return it.
