It's real leather, but it's equally as high maintenance as suede IMHO. I personally wouldn't touch it. I've had sandals in nubuck and they are a HUGE pain to keep looking nice.

Does anyone knows how to get rid of nicotine smell?
Super sad as my furla bag now stinks of nicotine and the fresh leather fragrance is gone!
How can i restore that??

I am a big fan of FURLA 
I have three bags ( had 5 but gave 2 to my mother and my grandmother), a beautiful brown wallet, a keypouch, a scarve and a tshirt from their talent hub special collection

I will post some pictures of my tshirt and a wallet tomorrow

the zaffiro...will have to try to find it!
Here from the first back in 1993 (the floral leather drawstring) to the most recent acquisition in February 2011 (the bright lemon):
I wanted to love Furla but my only retail experience didn't exactly reflect well on the brand. I went in to the 5th avenue store in NYC and asked the friendly SA where Furla made their bags and wallets. She told me everything was made in Italy. I checked the inside of the wallet I was holding and there was a very subtle MADE IN CHINA label staring me right in the face. The girl probably had no idea what she was talking about and just said whatever she felt she needed to to make a sale but to have an SA lie to me as I'm holding the product in question in my hands was a bit much.
Yes, some of Furla products are made in China.
You can read about it in a book by Dana Thomas ( How luxury losts its luster)
All my furla handbags are made in Italy ( I hope so
) but my small leather goods are made in China. It doesn´t bother me, because they are very durable and the leather looks and smells gorgeous The price is also not as expensive as the price of high designer bags.

It wasn't necessarily that they were made in China that turned me off . . . it was the lying SA and misrepresentation of their products.
