chanmutt · May 27th, 2008, 10:22 PM

I am trying to figure out which lovinmybags products to buy for my bags but I don't know which kind of leather I've got.

If anyone could fill in the blanks:

1. Hayden Harnett Triple Strap Satchel Finished/Unfinished

2. Linea Pelle Angie Speedy and Piper Tote Finished/Unfinished

3. Gryson skye Finished/Unfinished

4. Marc by Marc Jacobs Hillier Hobo Finished/Unfinished

5. Marc Jacobs quilted Elise Finished/Unfinished

6. Marc Jacobs quilted Silvana Finished/Unfinished

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pssst ~~ here's how yaknow :

any degree of shiny = finished

matte, not shiny = nakkie !

Your HH is considered unfinished.
Your Linea Pelle Angie & Piper are washed lambies finished with light glaze.
(LP Dylans, Gretchens, Danielles & Ashleys are nudists)
MarcJacobs & Gryson- finished

** If your bag feels velvety it's unfinished vs the silky/satiny feel of finished leather.

I am pretty sure LP does use special treatments in their leather that offer some protection,
while Hayden Harnett does not.

I think the HH triple strap is finished. The Mercer 3 compartment is naked.

Hudson triple strap satchel in vachetta is a vegtan lamb that acquires a patina with use and exposure. It is considered an unfinished leather, meaning it is not top-coated.

The cocoa has a sheen to it, as does the blue, so I suspect it is finished. I would still give it a good spray of Wilson's leather protector.
