Hi, I just received my padded cassette in black after months of waiting and I am disappointed. The one I received is with the updated leather (nappa) and it’s more matte black than the very shiny paper calf leather of the previous bags which I love!
and to answer someone’s comment about the skewed flap - mine is slightly crooked too and not straight but the crookedness is not lopsided. it matches the other side, if that makes sense.
now I am on the hunt for the previous paper calf leather padded cassette bag in black. If anyone has any intel, please let me know! Thanks
