I can't compromise on leather if it's clemence, togo, epsom, vache natural, fjord, or ardennes. If it's anything else, I might think about it, but very carefully - so I guess the answer is no. Stick to your guns GeeEff!



oh it is so interesting to read different opinions. for me hardware is key as to me it can change a color dramatically (apart from that i only like some clors with a special hardware and absoluteley can not stand it in the other variety). but i love that we all are different while loving the same brand (and h caters for all of usWell.......In thinking more about it......I could compromise on the hardware. Yep. The hardware for me is the flexible point. NOT the leather though. OR the size.
