FAQ Handbags and Genuine Leather
❓ What is a genuine leather bag?
A genuine leather bag is made from animal hide. The quality depends on the type of leather used: full-grain leather is the highest quality, while corrected leathers are sanded and treated to hide imperfections.
👜 Quality, Materials and Recognition of Leather
What is the difference between full-grain leather and grained leather?
Full-grain leather retains the natural surface of the hide, offering a unique texture and exceptional durability. Grained leather is treated to enhance its strength and even out its appearance, providing excellent everyday wear.

How can you test the quality of a leather bag before buying it?
Quality leather should be supple, vibrant, and slightly irregular. When gently pressed, the grain should react naturally. Leather that is too stiff or perfectly uniform is often heavily corrected or synthetic.
