Gillio croco-love

Hi planner peeps!

Since my croco-collection changed a bit,I felt the need to give you an update :-D
The Gillio croco mat is just a print on cowhide,btw!
From the day I saw my first Gillio mat croco (which was a medium sized Compagna in honey mat,at Dössel&Rademacher in Hamburg),I totally fell in love with that print....and with the brand anyway!
The croco mat is different from batch to batch....and from hide to hide.
Some feel chalky,which is VERY smooth with a feel of a powdery finish...some are just smooth..some feel a bit toothy/fabric-ish.
At the end they will all develope a patina,which makes them even smoother and more shiny.
The smaller the planner and the more you use it,the faster the patina will develope.
Here is my Mini Mia Cara in rosewood mat croco,one photo without patina,and one photo with beautiful patina....
