I expected my pen Paul Marius forward, and I am disappointed. The model of the kit is nice but ... one side is a nice thick matte leather, fine grain and the other a brighter leather (just like the imitation), it seems more "brittle" more "wrinkled". I had already bought the kit and to pressures to deliver the purse and I found the super quality .. Then I say "blah" for the price! I was planning to buy thereafter a bag, but if it is the lottery regarding the quality of leather I will refrain for now.
modification of the comment after a few days: I returned the kit because really, it did not correspond to what I expected. I expected a nice leather grow old well, as the pressure kit, and this is not the case. Marius Paul is a French company (although it took pleasure to buy French) but manufacturing and leathers are Indian, product quality control is up to it!
