How can you spot a well-made bag?
Look at the stitching first: the stitches are even and tight, with no loose threads. The edges, meaning the cut sides of the leather, are smooth and neatly finished. Closures glide without forcing and the rings are sturdy. To learn more about this work, read our article on the leather goods trades.
Which leather should you choose?
Pebbled leather: durable, it handles everyday rubbing well.
Brushed leather: matte and soft to the touch.
Vintage-effect leather: supple, it develops a patina over time.
Metallic or iridescent leather: it catches the light, at night or with a simple outfit.
