What is embossed leather?
An engraved plate is pressed onto the surface of the leather. The pattern stays in the material: it does not wear off like a print. On suede, the texture is softer and more matte. On patent leather, like that of the OURASI small crossbody bag, it shines more. To see other textured leathers, browse our patterned, brushed and quilted leather bags.
Which pattern should you choose?
Croc: the most classic, on the ZELINE suede clutch.
Python or snake: more graphic, on ROXANE PYTHON and HONEY.
Woven: more subtle, on the MANDALAY hobo bag.
A bold pattern stands out best against a solid outfit. For your first embossed bag, a neutral color like black, taupe or camel is the easiest to wear. To learn more about leathers, read our article on the secrets of leather, or see all our handbags.
