When I set out to buy my first Sparrow, I was flummoxed at the choices - so many beautiful leathers! When I ordered my first Austen in Darcy, I was stunned at this leather and instantly smitten - the scent is heavenly, the hand feel dreamy, and the look is stunning! I was obsessed enough to order three more in Austen Emma - an A4 custom, a Half Letter custom with light antiquing, and a No.8. Initially I tried to keep my Emmas out of the sun, but then I realized they patina to a gorgeous buttery amber - they only get more beautiful with use and time! You can't go wrong with this leather!
