The same archetype in its cool expression: black matte Porosus at 40 under palladium. Where gold warms the black, palladium keeps the whole composition in one graphite register, and the wool-buffed matte surface absorbs light across the scale pattern rather than reflecting it.
Interior is lined in matching Chevre leather with one zip pocket and one open pocket. Signature turn-lock closure, front flap, and sangles complete the configuration.
Condition: 2 – Excellent
Color: Black (89)
Leather: Matte Porosus Crocodile
Hardware: Palladium
Includes: Box, Lock
Dimensions: 40 × 30 × 21 cm | 16" W × 12" H × 8" D
Collector's Insight: Black matte Porosus under palladium is the configuration for the collector who wants the exotic without a single warm note; the metal disappears into the composition rather than punctuating it.
Resale Insight: The vault holds this bag's gold-hardware twin, and the pair brackets the archetype completely. Black exotics at travel scale draw steady demand from collectors buying the format to use.
