I wanted to give it another try but my friend said once it gets a wrinkle or a fold in it you can never get it out. My other friend who is hard on bags seems to keep hers in good shape. What are your thoughts and does a certain style hold up better then others?
Michael Kors How does the saffaino leather hold up?

I have saffiano e/w hamilton that I've used everyday for months and it still looks new. I'm not exactly sure how I would be able to get a wrinkle in the leather as it is a pretty structured bag. Perhaps that would be more of a concern with the larger n/s models. Love mine because I use it for work and it can take some abuse. The saffiano leather is heavy though. It took my shoulder a while to adjust.

Thank for your help. I'm not sure what style yet. I was also looking at the harper totes in leather or canvas. I need something that is not to heavy and is a bit structured. I have the medium gilmore bag in leather in cinnabar, but I don't want to use that one for sporting events where I watch my kids.
the saffino leather holds up pretty well for me just my jet set totes fold in a lil from use (like having it under my arm and etc)
Thank you! I was looking at them on line today. The medium tote weight was a bit heavier then I can carry. I really like the look. I do have a pink wallet in the saffiano but I rarely wear it . It doesn't really go with my other bags color wise ,but it is to pretty to get rid of.
If anyone has pictures of how their saffiano or pebbled leather bags have held up over time, could you please post in this thread?

I made it specifically to get a visual comparison of how these leathers age.
Thank you!

I have a saffiano tote that's held up very well, there's practically no wear on it aside from some scratches on the gold hardware (from normal wear). I love that saffiano is lightweight, can be used in any kind of weather, and doesn't get scratched or show wear easily. I avoid most leather bags because they're too heavy and hurt my shoulder, so I'm glad that saffiano is becoming a more popular option. It's so practical and still looks lux. However, I have seen a few bags on eBay where there were creases, especially on the taller N/S bags like Haruhii mentioned.
To get an idea of what the wear on certain bags is like, a good place to check is eBay. You can do a search for "Michael Kors saffiano" and then on the very left, you can check where it says Condition > Used. You can also scroll down and check Show only > Sold listings to see more used bags that have been sold. I also like to check out how a bag wears before actually purchasing it, and have found eBay very useful. It's saved me from purchasing bags that I wouldn't have gotten much use out of. Hope that helps!

That's a great idea! Thank you for the suggestion
I think it holds up very well. I take good care of my bags and no problems yet. I had them over 1 yr. Becareful for color transfer on light bags. Also it you dent it I do not think it can be fixed so handle with care. I do not baby my bags and use them everyday no dents have occurred yet.
