Actually no..this leather is one of the hardiest! I use my Roseaus carefully but don’t baby them And they all look good as new. Even rain rolls right off.be careful not to mistake this one for the Roseau box, the box leather scratches much easier.

Thank you so much for your answer! I have not considered the box cos I think it will be too small for me. I usually tend to favour shiny leather but somehow I am really attracted to this new matte Roseau look but since I have not had a chance to try it IRL, I have no idea what to expect. On pictures it almost doesnt even look like leather, more like fabric or something
What color are you thinking of? Maybe I can send you a close up pic of the leather. I would describe the leather as sturdy and hefty.Thank you so much for your answer!

Currently they have it only in black, natural and turtledove in size Medium in my area. I was thinking of getting black one although the others are very pretty too. When in doubt, I tend to choose black
Sturdy and hefty sound good to me as I am not really into babying bags. I look after them and but they gotta still be independent 
+1. It is sturdy but not so stiff that it is uncomfortable to carry.
Just wondering how do you find natural? It's really a year round color and very versatile. Black is lovely but somehow I feel it can look stark with a lighter outfit? Natural will look nice with both light and dark outfits. But of course, it boils down to your own preference.
I love mine in natural.Attachments

I second natural and turtle dove too. I think all three are easy to match. The black tends to give off a much more serious or formal vibe than the other two. Somehow the Matt leather makes it look more classy in black. It’ll work well with coats for winter too. And I agree that natural is a year round color and gives it a more fun and casual vibe.

Oh yours is beautiful! I think I gotta rethink this! Will it go with navy?Just wondering how do you find natural? It's really a year round color and very versatile.

All my jackets are navy ha ha haMaybe colours are great after all.
I recently got myself a new laptop backpack Fjällräven no 2 laptop 15 in foliage green and I am so surprised how well it goes with navy and how pretty it is. And I am not even a green-colour person
So maybe the natural Roseau is the better choice.
Very good point! I really loooove formal and classy stuff but the truth is that I dress quite casually and often wear New Balance sneakers (although in black
), jeans and tshirt and sportyish jackets or something similar. So fun and casual would be better.
Naturel pairs beautifully with navy. I find this color really easy to pair as it is a balanced hue (not too light and also not too dark). In the past, I never considered this hue but once I got my first one, I can't seem to stop. Black is gorgeous in the Roseau leather. I agree with @viewwing that black makes the bag look more formal whereas Naturel less so. My lifestyle is pretty casual so Naturel works better for me and I've been wearing lighter colors thus I find it easier to read for Naturel than a black bag.
Oooh, your backpack is beautiful. A good green is also very versatile.
If you’re looking for casual, maybe look at your wardrobe colors? If they tend to lean toward warm, natural would be best. If they’re mostly cool hues, then maybe turtledove?Very good point!

I think both turtledove n natural will look great with a blue coat and a cream sweater! Turtledove more subtle, natural more Of a pop!
I think I look better in colder hues. However, as my wardrobe is mainly navy, black, white and some more navy, blue and black jeans, light grey and few burgundy items, I think natural could be a great pop of colour in this very neutral wardrobe
And I have one congac coloured bag which I do love with all my navy jackets (rain jacket here on the photo)
This cognac bag lent such a nice contrast to the outfit. Looks like the naturel will serve you well.
