I have two currently. I love these bags. I would say the leather is very sturdy and durable. I wouldn't call it buttery although there is one portion on my Tate that is ultra soft. This is my Chocolate Skye & Camel Tate.

I just got a gently used Olivia bag, and the bag isn't exactly "buttery" but it is soft, and softer in some spots then others.
I actually was looking at these bags at Nordstroms, and I was saying (in another post) how every bag is different. Some were smoother (the Blue Jean especially), while others were bumpier and more pebble-y (the white bags). The black and browns appear to have an uneven texture throughout which is a sign of good leather.
I think they are extremely well made, especially for the price. The lining is also made of an extremely high quality suede - not a suede-like material, or cheaper suede that some other bags use. it cleaned up easily with a suede eraser and the bag looks like its new.
I can't see anyone being disappointed with a Gryson - they're all so unique and very well made.
The suede lining makes the bags heavy...the Heidi tote is heavy when it is empty. The Olivia is heavy too... So, I used to want one of these bags...but no longer.

This is my Gryson Skye in Grey. I would not call the leather buttery..it's a thicker leather...very nice...the suede lining is super and I like the adjustable shoulder straps too. I do find the zipper a little hard but I attribute that to it being new; I'm sure it will unzip a little easier after use. I'm very happy with it!
