You guys are making it impossible to choose between Rustic Rose and Firenze
I love my little Paper Republic family (GVXLs in Cognac and Bordeaux; Pocket GV in Bordeaux) but I’m craving something brighter and lighter for the summer. Totally ridiculous “problems,” I know. But I need a pick-me-up.
Thing is, I’ve been obsessed with golden/saffron ochre/mustard tones for ages, BUT I love certain pink shades as well, especially anything evoking a sunset glow. Rustic Rose is a bit on the bright coral side, but I prefer warmer pinks to cooler ones and once it starts to patina it more closely resembles the earthy, rich shades of pink I love. Firenze is also irresistible, and appears to become a deeper golden shade as it ages, which is gorgeous.
Anyone else like me and love both shades? Have you received either colour and been surprised by how they look in person?
I don’t *need* to buy covers simply to change them out for the season, and yes I know I could purchase the leather by the same tannery and cut my own, but I have looked and cannot find a cost-effective option for the colours, thickness, and amount I need.
So, which GVXL am I buying next? 😂
