Which Should You Buy?
This is a seriously polarising leather beast. Some say it's a dead ringer for Ombre Leather, others say it's a hot mess. Expect a powerful, somewhat rough-around-the-edges leather floral that demands attention, but be prepared for some sniffers to recoil. A true budget banger for those who love bold leather.
This is a truly magnificent Iris, dark and brooding, with a sophisticated earthiness that transcends gender. While some find it challenging and say it leans mature, for many, it's a masterpiece of understated elegance and quality. Definitely a "must-try for any Iris lover."
