I'd dress it down or make it more playful, but only with a quality of leather 'respectful' of this beautiful Tradition -- perhaps a colorful alligator (pink, yellow, orange, etc.) or even an ostrich, as suggested above? ;-)

After trying different colors, I always come back to black. For the sweaty summer days, I always wanted to have something else than the black alligator. I found this “rubberized” leather from Delugs which I am test driving since this morning. For now, I l...
