The Indigo version was matte like the Épi they use for most men's SLGs. That was kind of a special edition. These new ones are regular, shiny, very very hard wearing classic Épi.I have an epi Neverfull in Indigo and when they rolled out the recent version with an interior pocket, the Kenyan Fawn sure caught my eye. I LOVE my epi Neverfull and enjoy flying under the radar. FYI, I find the epi leather is easier to scratch than I would have expected.
