Nappa Umbria is clearly more matte than Regular nappa bags..Nappa Umbria clearly had/has color shadings or variations in tone in one bag..I recently gave up the most beautiful Nappa umbria Sloane..It slouched tremendously, and it was yummy and soft to the touch, but it had absolutely no sheen..The newer variations of the bag in nappa are "hard" to the touch; they almost look "painted" to me..In fact for the most part I find almost all new BV's in nappa hard to the touch; they are almost a different product than even 5 years ago.. I do not know if this is a deliberate design or BV is cutting costs.. I find in choosing my new BV bags, that each bag is individual, and that there could be 5 of the same bag, but only 1 would have a slight sheen or softness..I myself am very particular in my choice of each bag..Some others may not feel that way..
