Do you mind if I ask why you chose Clemence over Togo? I'm just trying to weigh the pros and cons for leather choice on my next bag!

Well... I was a bit iffy about the veining on Togo, but since then I've learnt to appreciate it. I would be happy with either, but I might've asked for Togo today since it usually a bit stiffer and holds its shapes better.

Love togo leather, it holds its shape beautifully.

It does... I have a Sac a Depeche in togo, and it's beautiful.

Otoh, I also have a 38 cm Steve in a clemence which is relatively rigid – I'm hoping I get something similar for my HAC. I don't really mind if it happens to be on the slouchier side though. I guess I'm easy to please! :smile1:

Do you like the victoria 43? or do you think its too simple? I'm torn between a jypsiere 37 in etoupe clemence and a victoria 43 in etoupe clemence. which do you prefer?

I love the Victoria 43. I have a Double Sens in vert gris/etain, and you don't get much simpler than that. :p (I am on the fence about the Jypsière, it feels a bit odd to me.)

What about Fjord compare with Togo? I heard n read that Fjord is stiffer than Togo and the vein is more prominent. I was thinking if getting Fjord..I think the veining give a bit more masculine look. I really appreciate your input. TIA.

Well... You mean that the veining makes it look more rugged or something? Perhaps. But there are lots of variations among Clemence/Togo/Fjord that kind of blurs the lines perceptually. Veinings and grains differ between individual hides, so Togo might be mistaken for Clemence and Fjord might look like Togo.

Out of the three, Fjord appears to be the most practical since it holds its shape very well, is very sturdy and water-repellant. Unfortunately, it's also the heaviest.

Thanks Ulf!! I think Fjord will be my 1st choice n Togo would be my 2nd choice. I can deal with the weight, as I normally don't put a lot of things in my bag anyway n I can burn some more extra calories while shopping 😉
Thanks again for ur insight.
