Hi there - did you ever decide on a wallet and buy one? Like you, I'm having trouble deciding on the colours/leather but like the rust and Bordeaux especially. I wonder how they would look together.
I'd love any advice or ideas from anyone who has an equus wallet, it's a rather special gift ...
thanks
Certainly I did. I suspect (fingers crossed) the rust/bordeaux piece on Charlie's work bench is mine. Can't wait to see how it looks looks and feels and start using it! Been more than 3 months now
I think the best way to make the decision on materials and colours is to order the samples. Nothing beats seeing the colour in the flesh and having actual tactile feedback handling the leather. It helped me eliminate options and confirm my preferences.
I shortlisted eventually to between CdR/chevre and 2 different full chevre colours combi and rotated laying the samples alongside over a few days viewing and comparing my choices multiple times a day to test how enduring my choices are.
It's easier for me to decide between the colour combination than the leather option. I love the texture and tonality and contrast of the CdR/chevre (CdR/bordeaux is really lovely!) but finally went with full chevre for the softness and supple feel of the leather on my fingers.
