Bluekit, this is a fantastic "pink predicament" cheat sheet. Very helpful! Thanks for sharing it!Absolutely! Since my WOCs gets "handled" a lot more than my flaps (shoulder carry), I need it in patent! I chose my clutch flap with a chain in patent for this very reason as well.
After deliberating and agonizing over the colors/sizes/leather, I'd say I came to the following conclusion in terms of size/leather.
Maxi/jumbo flaps: patent because they exude more casual and carefree vibes
Medium flap: lamb because of the puffy quilts and of the elegant/classic size
Mini flap: patent because of the crossbody use. Lamb may get transfers more easily than patent through use.
Woc: patent, same reason as mini flap
boy: patent or lamb as the style compliments the leathers equally.
I love the logic and reasoning behind your choices. You are one smart cookie!
And I noticed that both you and PB selected bags that are consistent with this logic and reasoning.
